N.J. Lottery retailer says $221M Powerball winner is bus driver who spends $60 a day on ticketsReply
How does a school bus driver have $21,600 in yearly disposable income to buy lottery tickets every day at $60/day? Assuming he makes $50k a year and takes home $35k, he is spending 60% of his income just on lottery tickets. It paid off for this one person, but how many others out there are spending half their income and not win?

I wondered this too. Maybe the clerk meant to say $60 a day for every day he purchases lottery tickets? As in $60 a week if he only plays once per week?

Lifetime laborer steps forward to claim $552 Mega Millions lottery jackpot in IllinoisReply
I don't where you got that info from, but last I heard was 25% of sales were online for that winning drawing. I still buy my tickets at the local stores and the lottery machines seem to be alive well. In fact walmart just installed a lottery kiosk about a year ago.

Lottery ticket sold in Illinois wins $560 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
There was a convenience store that just opened near me, and they were getting their lottery terminal installed, the technician was saying that not all terminals will produce a jackpot winner, and when you hear the ticket being printed, it's an pre-recorded sound to gather attention in the musical tone of C. If you hear the terminal printing the tickets, don't buy them there. Thermal printers are silent.

Massachusetts Lottery celebrates 50th anniversary of first instant ticketReply
