Perhaps she is part of a pool of people that won ? Patience isn't always a virtue with some folks.

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
My pool did not win with the number 23. But the good news is we get to try again. I like this pool. I paid only once to join and have been involved in several Mega Millions and Powerball draws. Both games have surpassed the $1 billion mark.

Three Calgary friends claim $50M lottery prize after 17 years playing togetherReply
I ran a pool at a former workplace as well. I collected every 2 weeks on payday and bought a mix of Powerball, Louisiana Lotto, and MegaMillions tickets. Winnings were put back in for more tickets. We never had a big win, but we had some smaller wins that gave us enough incentive to keep playing. My manager and 2 of the supervisors were in the pool I was running.

Arkansas Lottery Natural State Jackpot to move to daily drawingsReply
Most cash 5's are a dollar a play. Rhode Island adds the whole amount wagered back into the pool. This backwoods state takes in 20k and only bumps it up 10k every day. The game only has value when it reaches the 150k level.

Accusations of "disturbing" new claims procedures after Allwyn sends investigator to winner's homeReply
The nice thing about US lottery is that each state lottery office employs a security personnel; they are former police detective who only purpose is to investigate big wins. Case and point, when my lottery pool won $4000 on a scratcher, they asked us about the purchase and time of day when we claimed it. They already knew pertinent details they were just verifying it was us.

I will challenge you with the fact that Mega Millions tickets cost 2.00 now for starters. So now in your alleged pool if everyone puts in a dollar which is possible. You only get half as many tickets.

No, buying 2 tickets instead of 1 does not double your chances of winning. Nor does playing in a pool when you would have to split the million 59 ways is not better than playing a state game by yourself with half the numbers. Don't be embarrassed about being mathematically challenged.

A lottery pool does not greatly increase your chances of winning when there are over 300 million combinations and adding 59 more to your few plays doesn't even register a .000001% increased percentage of winning it. Many accurately say they would be happy with 1 or 2 million with that 2nd prize. So why not play lotteries with more than half the matrix with jackpots in that range.
