Connecticut Lottery launches new system, players unable to check ticketsReply
Reading this article, it seems that some scratcher players have no idea what the game rules are, to the point where they don't know how to check whether they won anything or not. They drive around looking for machines that can check for a winner when a new system fails in that regard. I went to the Arizona website to try to determine the rules of the different scratcher games, and I couldn't find any! I won't play a game until I know the rules and odds, so I don't play scratchers in Arizona.

Megaball predictionReply
Yeah, there's also the scratcher games like tic-tac-toe and bingo where you can look at how the boards are filled out, look for singletons that line up on a board, and with 60% probability, know whether a scratcher card is a winner. So if you could look at a stack of scratchers before buying, you could pick out the most likely winners (without scratching anything off). Here's an article about that. https://www.wired.com/2011/01/cracking-the-scratch-lottery-code/ 1 - alpha = confidence i

California woman who overcame homelessness wins $5 million lottery prizeReply
My favorite kind of story...rags to riches feel good story. Memory says some guy I think in Illinois was still homeless when he won buckets of money on a lottery ticket. OTOH Massachusetts getting closer to having on-line lottery sales. They just passed on-line sports betting. Funny the article had the same argument used here in KY that it would hurt brick and mortar stores. This has been disproven. My goodness, my Puritan minded homestate coming out of 1620 mentality.

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
I wish I could remember where I very recently read this, but unfortunately I cant. What I read was a news report that stated the winner used an LLC registered in Delaware, not Florida. The reason given for registering in Delaware was stated as Delaware will not release the names of members of an LLC registered in Delaware, but Florida will release the names. .... So what the LLC in Miami is all about I do not know. I do recall that it was a Florida TV station's website where the abo

Powerball Powerplay 10XReply
In a way it shows that the PB jackpot amounts get to over 150M pretty fast, thanks to the additional Monday drawing. When I see an article about someone winning the PB five times on one draw, I know where to look . I always add the Powerplay on PB knowing very well that it maxes out at 2M for the second tier. I add the megaplier on MM more willingly knowing the second tier amount could be 5M . I wish you luck and hope that one day you score a hit, 10M would be a good amount to wi

Florida winner of $1.6 billion Mega Millions jackpot steps forward to claim prizeReply
I'm confused. The news article above says that the Florida Lottery did not reveal whether or not the winner chose the lump sum cash option or the annuity. Yet their website has a Jackpot Winners and Retailer Information Report on it showing the winner took the cash option. Here's a link to it. https://www.flalottery.com/exptkt/MegaMillions_Jackpot_Retailer_Info.pdf What's up with that? In addition to claiming anonymously I hope they hired a lawyer to claim it for them via a trust or

$1.58 billion Mega Millions lottery winner has two weeks left to claim cash optionReply
The Florida Lottery has informed the winners of both jackpots what has transpired with the three previous MM jackpot winners No, they know the location of where the tickets were purchased but do not know who purchased the tickets! The winner's lawyers are the ones making the contact to the Lottery system that they will be collecting the prize through a LLC or a Trust. In hopes of being anonymous establishing a Trust and or a LLC to claim the winnings were thought of and established by
