Unidentified Maryland couple claims $108.8M Powerball jackpotReply
I for one do not alter my ticket purchasing based on the stories of any previous winners. The lottery wants people to go public as it is free advertising for them, and FREE anything is good and sought after by most people. But that free advertising comes at a huge cost to the subjects of that publicity. So I would just politely tell that lottery representative, Sorry but no to any publicity. I hope that couple has read this site. If not....oh well.

Cool $207 million up for grabs in lotteryReply
Advertising the annuity jackpot is a marketing strategy to make people think that the jackpot is really 207 rather than advertising it as it really is. The lottery is a buisness just like anyother.

13 State Employees to Share $224 Million Powerball Lottery JackpotReply
I'll also state something clearly and concisely: Pigs can fly. There! That obviously makes it true. If anything, the big fake checks are more deceptive than advertising the annuity value. Everybody knows that a check for n dollars means that when you cash it you actually get n dollars. I can't imagine there is any other business that offers more truth in advertising than a lottery. Chuck can come here and spin it all he wants, but if lotteries are truly interested in truthful adver

Proposal takes aim at Lottery sales pitch to teensReply
Agree 100%. I don't like to see anyone 18 or 38 killed in action, but if a young man or woman can defend our country, they should have the right to drink, vote, gamble and sign a contract. I actually don't like any type of lottery advertising or hype. I realize why they do it, but most people who are serious about playing already know there is a lottery in their state and what the jackpots are. I'd rather see the money for advertising going into the pockets of the winners, but that's not goin

advertising? not likely!! i'm sure everyone likes to win money. some people don't have a good grasp of how to pick winners. casho has proven he is a winner. i'll gladly take some coin from his numbers. most of us can pick winners, but not as consistent as this guy. you'll call it advertising now, but when the numbers are posted, i bet you'll be playing a few.

Powerball lottery fever hits the USAReply
Al the talk about no truth in advertising , etc., is a bunch of boloney. You actually get the amount advertised if you choose annuity. Anyone who thinks it's false advertising is just proving that they are sour grapes -- nothing else.

Powerball lottery fever hits the USAReply
It takes a lump sum of money to buy the annuity, so despite any claims to the contrary the advertised annuity jackpot is based on the cash available for purchasing the annuity. There is no such thing as the cash value of the prize, and the only thing that's actually based on the annuity value is the advertising. The only record that's being broken is for the largest advertised jackpot. If the lotteries were a private enterprise they'd probably have been sued for misleading advertising a lon
