Massachusetts man buys lottery tickets to break $100 bill, wins $10 millionReply
Congratulations to the winner. The common thread in many of these winner stories is the winner only purchased the winning ticket for another purpose, change to buy a sandwich (requires the purchase of two $20 scratch tickets); stuck in traffic, so bought three, $20 tickets; doing laundry and wanted to pass the time, et al. I play lottery games to win and so do all these players.

$425 MILLION: Largest Powerball lottery jackpot in historyReply
I know that. Technically, I haven't asked anyone for anything. One person I've known a long time who has a comfortable living, lent me a small amount of $$$ three months ago because he knew of my situation. He offered it though, I didn't ask. It's like those lottery winner stories we've probably all read, of people asking them for money with their tales of woe. What happens?

Wisconsin woman claims $156.2 million Powerball lottery jackpotReply
What I like about this lady -- note how little info she gave away about herself. And hats off to Wisconsin, too. So many winner stories state that the party will not give a statement, but then the lottery news item has all this info in it about them. For example, their job, what is the first thing they are going to do, etc. I always assumed that the lottery people chit chat with them and people being people, the winner is then inadvertently giving away info, and the lotto people tell the press.

Washington man finds winning lottery ticket worth $2 million in his car windowReply
I agree with you 100%. There is no need for the lottery to make up any story because the lottery generates millions of dollars in sales without any of these stories. Most people who play the lottery don't even read these stories. As for me, I love reading these lottery winner stories.

20-year-old Florida man claims $451M Mega Millions jackpotReply
The Power of Positive Thinking - It seems he was a true believer according to his social media. Also noted, he used the money he won from a previous scratch off to pay for the MM tickets. I hear that often from winner stories. He was riding his wave of luck. congrats Shane.

Isn't this also how many winner stories go? I thought I didn't win but realized my mistake and had to dive in the dumpster?

Arizona Lottery winners could soon remain anonymousReply
I really hope this trend catches on countrywide. The flip side of this is there will be no winner stories that websites such as LP rely on to attract web traffic.

Washington woman wins $90 million Powerball jackpot on first tryReply
Hmm interesting. I've always wondered if these first time player jackpot winner stories were pure propaganda to try and draw in the base of non-players.
