Massachusetts store clerk who tried to steal customer's $3M lottery prize sentenced to probationReply
You can't buy that type of ticket on-line. Massachusetts last I knew doesn't even have on line sales. Our instant tickets here in KY are totally different than scratch tickets in the store. In addition you get to wager, if you will, how much you want to spend. One was twenty cents all the way up to $20.00. Then the computer 'scratches' the ticket to see how much you won.

Illinois man celebrates Valentine's Day with $1 million lottery win three days after breakupReply
Once I saw the headline had to look up the Massachusetts guy who won after his breakup. Unlike this guy, he won $30 million Mega Millions Oct 2012. Best Valentine's gift for the Illinois guy. Hope he blocks all contact with her.

Connecticut Lottery launches its first $50 scratch-off ticketReply
Not necessarily. It depends on the odds of winning the prize. Having very good odds (relatively speaking) of a $50 ticket winning a $4 million prize can be a very good lottery buy. Massachusetts: $50 ticket has a $25 million top prize, odds of 1 in 10,080,000 Connecticut: $50 ticket has a $4 million top prize, odds of 1 in 1,333,333 Now, you tell me which one is the better buy. There is no right answer, but I'm interested in hearing reasoned opinions.

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
Kentucky lottery employees are forbidden from playing in KY. Asked IGT after my issue was resolved (in RI) if they can go to Massachusetts to play. She informed me that IGT employees may not play anywhere. Recollection for TV game shows is that family members may not go on the TV shows. Certainly that bodes true today.

First $25 million scratch-off lottery prize claimed in MassachusettsReply
A state's size will have little impact on how often that state has a lottery winner. What does have an impact is the number of people playing in the state.. (more correctly, the number of tickets sold in the state) NJ may be smaller than Massachusetts (area), but there are more people living in NJ.. about 9.2m vs 7m.. There is also the possibility of people crossing the border (or passing through) into NJ to buy tickets Hmm NY... 19.7m vs California at 39 million (and Texas at 30 million
