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.

Although I've not written here about wheeling lottery numbers, if you play just the 14 numbers yet to be drawn in June (listed in the above post) then effectively what you're doing is wheeling those 14 numbers. Essentially what you're saying is I think that the five winning numbers drawn during the very next drawing will come from this group of 14 numbers. That's fine, but if just one winning number drawn does not come from that group of 14, then it's impossible for a player to win a jackpot

Massachusetts Lottery celebrates 50th anniversary of first instant ticketReply
Way back when before even thinking of playing the lottery. Just graduated from High School in '74. My late neighbor used to play 'The Game' I know he would win---how much IDK. He just passed last year @ age 96 and his Son would post scratch tickets that he would play in the Nursing home. I HAD Son for his address, but never did. He would have had some KY scratchers.

UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
Have a budget like a lot of you, so I will postpone buying until the jackpot reaches $1,000,000,000 minimum. If you think about it, most people do something like this which is why the when the jackpot is at $20 million they sell $25 to $35 million in tickets but when it reaches $1 billion they sell $100 million to $700 million.

I played a triple in the win4 today, and i asked the guy if he still cashed a lot of tickets in his store, if his store was still a busy store like it used to be. He said that the stores can no longer, or are no longer allowed to cash $600 tickets of any kind. He said that the lottery or the state, changed the amount just recently that you can cash tickets in stores to....wait for it....$599 (dollars). I've never won $599 dollars exactly on any ticket, ever. They want the taxes I guess.
