$2 billion Powerball lottery winner buys $25.5 million Hollywood Hills mansionReply
Dude, the Powerball lottery drawing was not rigged. The delay in the drawing was due to the state of Minnesota not having their ticket count in before the deadline.

Why is it that people come out of the woodwork saying the Powerball or Mega millions lottery is rigged ONLY when the jackpots are over $800 million? You definitely would not be saying the lottery was rigged if you were the one to win. You just sound jealous.

Minnesota Lottery confirms technical communications error delayed $2 billion Powerball drawingReply
but saying the problem was a communication error created an overwhelming amount of sales data doesn't explain a thing because the Minnesota Lottery sold more tickets on Saturday than they did on Monday and had no problems. Whatever the real problem was in Minnesota, the results were still drawn in Florida and the winning ticket was sold in California.

Stuff like this is going on a lot these days. And, using the so-called cover of a charitable organization. Could be lottery, could be women's shelters, could be anything. Point is, the only goal is to steal. It's a whole me scenario, what about me. It's actually kind of despicable. No matter how many times, they just refuse to stop. No matter the excuses.

Does Minnesota cut separate checks for members of your lottery club like Kentucky and California do? Let them pay their own taxes. On that note, KY will not cut separate checks for on-line purchases but still play both ways and take my chances!
