Seems like the lottery is leaving out how many tickets people actually buy a lot lately. I highly doubt one, which is what the lottery would like you to believe. I am willing to bet most winners are getting 40-100 at least, not 1-5 even if it is possible to win with one ticket. Oh and it seems that anyone under 65 rarely wins much anymore. Notice also t hat the winning numbers are sold near the border of the state line; Now......people who run state lottery's wouldn't cheat the citizens in the larger cities or the vast section of the state ( who support the lottery in the Millions of dollars) out of a large win would they ??????????People from all over the state got tickets and lost every dime -yet ....the winners show up on a terminal in the smallest town ,within walking distance from the state line ...wonder if they also have had multiple instant ticket winners also ????? would they by selling us the loosers .....!!!!!!!!!????????? seems like I heard multiple stories like that here in NY .....winning tickets sold in obscurie places , where t he vast majority of people couldn't get there by Grayhound !!!

Why would you want to live with a multi-millionare who would make you sleep on the floor, starve you and ask you do chores? 
"I know the world is going to turn upside down" Absolutely. So much more realistic than the winners who say "Everything is going to be the same. Maybe I'll buy a new lawnmower."
 I am hoping he has a big heart. Sharing his food, giving me a nice bed. Wouldn't be bad cleaning his BMW. Maybe he will let be go on a test ride. lol

Wasn't it someone on this board who pointed out last week that the vendor was in a border area so the winner could very well have been from another state or a traveler passing through. Looks as though we have good intuitions (for everything but the winning number--LOL!!)

Looks as though we have good intuitions (for everything but the winning number--LOL!!) It was not only pointed out by an LP member but also by a local news reporter since it had happened before. Before Ohio had MegaMillions, a lot of the people buying PowerBall tickets in Richmond were from Ohio. * Trying is the first step toward failure *
