Oh and congrats to this lady, at least she had enough sense to take advantage of Maryland's anonymity laws and decided to leave her name out of the news and stay away from the media. Guess she doesn't have a need to call up the media to alert them she won and advertise her religion, if she's religious that is.

Yes, that was a diss on ol'whatshisname.

  Me, too.  I can't speak in front of more than 3 or 4 people much less put the shock of winning the jackpot into the mix! My mouth would open and just hang there and my legs would start shaking....I'd be tempted to turn tail and run - with my giant cardboard check!

Congrats to the women who won! I wished all states would allow winners to have the choice to claim their prizes anonymously.

I don't play QP usually I use algorithms. I don't play 10 tickets on a jackpot under 100M. Sometimes my prg. gives out "weird" numbers like that and I play them because the prg. is not prejudiced about numeric distributions on ball-drawings as opposed to computerized drawings like Hot Lotto. The thing is, weird sets DO come out, and they come out less often because they are of a smaller group of combinations such as "22 and higher" for the sheer reason that excluding the first 21 balls greatly reduces the pool. Ditto only the even or odd sets. Just because more winners are QP or more winners have 3 even/2 odd etc. doesn't mean that such number sets are more likely to beat the 180M odds than their "weird" counterparts. The only way to figure out "more likely" sets is with algorithms and BACKTESTING.

If the store clerk kissed MY ticket I'd be like "Mundo Disgusto!!!" and promptly spray it with disinfectant. I'd have to bring it in a sealed Biohazard baggie while wearing gloves and a mask. Not to mention that maybe the lottery paper or ink is harmful if ingested??? They sure smell funky!

thats the 2nd time that a mother and daughter claimed the prize anonymously.

Rock on.................................

sorry but I dont want anyone kissing a ticket that I just bought! (unless its Johnny Depp!). Got an issue with germs as it is.

Didnt get riled up by this article so much as the arrogance of the woman saying she JUST KNEW she won it since she bought it there. Like no one else bought tickets there before her.

I am neither congradulatory or envy her. She has alot of things to consider with her wealth....

I keep having recurring dream winning the lottery in my sleep,press conference with the media but dont remeber the numbers when i wake up.

What can i do to make my dream a reality????
