$1.3 billion Powerball winner revealed by Oregon Lottery as three people splitting jackpotReply
The other article I read was wrong and they since corrected it, so you're right, it's a 50-50 split. My bad.

Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winReply
I don't know, but I thought I had seen somewhere that RNG QPs do not repeat any combination until every combination has been picked once. That doesn't take into consideration the players who are picking their own numbers that will duplicate combinations that RNG may have given out. However, as I researched this win, I found one article that said the winning ticket was self picked numbers. So if cards had been filled out to cover all of the combinations the logistics of that are amazing if the ca

Virginia woman wins $50,000 Pick 5 prize on first-ever lottery ticketReply
It was probably a quick pick. Having never played the lottery before which I doubt sincerely but if true she probably would not filled out a card unless her mother gave her certain 5 digit numbers to play then maybe. Details left out of article about that part of it. Oh, I think I will play 2,9,4,2,3 isn't a combination that just pops into your head. This game would be dangerous to the Virginia lottery if 1,2,3,4,5 came in as there would probably be multiple winners.

I am intrigued about these lottery courier services. Who uses them? The only other time I have heard of them was when an Iraqi citizen used one and won an Oregon lottery. Based on this article, could someone use one of this services if they wanted to purchase tickets in a state where one is allowed to be anonymous? Are these services for state lotteries only or for Powerball and MegaMillions too?

$1.3 billion Powerball winner revealed by Oregon Lottery as three people splitting jackpotReply
I read in another article that they are splitting it equally 3 ways. So the fact that Chao is getting only 1/3 of the jackpot strongly indicates that she paid 1/3 of the total cost of their shared tickets. Plausibly, what happened is the husband (and wife) bought $200 worth of tickets, then later called up Chao to ask if she wanted to pitch in $100 more to buy more tickets on top of what he already purchased. That would make $300.

California winner of $1.765 billion Powerball jackpot is lauded as kind family man by neighborsReply
Weird that the article says Struyck is the representative of a group that won $1.765 billion and the other members of the group have not been named but it sure looks like this discussion is assuming Struyck is the sole ticket owner. Can't recall in the past where the neighbors' of another spokesman of a group of jackpot winners were interviewed

DC man sues the lottery after incorrect numbers posted on website would have won him $340 millionReply
Two things I had hoped for: 1) That Todd Kate would run this article and #2) That Artist 77 would comment since it is in your backyard. This was on YouTube and I commented on it. You talk about some hateful comments directed @ me. One even said I wasn't educated. Blasted that one out and said eff your attitude that my SO worked in Criminal Justice for 40 years and my measly eight months as a Grand Juror and know what I'm talking about.

I read the article while on my way to the store to buy my $3 Powerball ticket for Mondays draw. I almost made a U turn back home then I thought, I am the 8% and I still have a chance, so still got my ticket. Now if you are in an office pool and your total budget is $50, take heart we are in this together
