$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
Based on sales and recalling the fact that every drawing resets the probabilities, the most likely outcome of this particular drawing was that there would be NO winner (nearly 70%). However, most likely doesn't mean guaranteed because of....probability. You don't need a QP machine conspiracy because every jackpot game has duplicates (losing + winning) due to the random nature of the lottery. You can figure this with the below formula: When you plug in # tickets sold for this drawing

$1.7 billion in combined jackpots, as USA multi-state lottery games peak togetherReply
With increased sales, it may reach $1billion by Friday night. It's time Louisiana won a jackpot on MegaMillions as we haven't won one yet. I got my tickets and good luck to everyone.

Massachusetts store clerk who tried to steal customer's $3M lottery prize sentenced to probationReply
You can't buy that type of ticket on-line. Massachusetts last I knew doesn't even have on line sales. Our instant tickets here in KY are totally different than scratch tickets in the store. In addition you get to wager, if you will, how much you want to spend. One was twenty cents all the way up to $20.00. Then the computer 'scratches' the ticket to see how much you won.

Just weeks left to claim $44 million Florida Lotto ticketReply
Straight from https://www.flalottery.com/faq What happens to prizes that are not claimed? Florida law requires that 80 percent of unclaimed prize funds from expired tickets be transferred directly to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund. The remaining 20 percent is returned to the prize pool from which future prizes are awarded or used for special prize promotions. Should a POWERBALL or MEGA MILLIONS jackpot ticket not be claimed within the 180 days of the applicable draw date, t

Lottery Post's guide to 2023 holiday raffles across the USAReply
I am picturing a 2 billion pot and a guaranteed 50K for 40,000 players that is tax free (that's quite a stretch on the tax bit lol) Tickets should be $1 each and sales start in October and draw made in mid December. That would be something to look forward to and maybe it would be easy to find someone who knows a lottery winner lol. Thank you for teasing my imagination

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
to be fair, per ticket sales, CA had contributed money the most to the jackpots. Next was Florida, then TX, then NY. North Dakota was one of the states that contributed the least, yet we did have jackpot winners from ND. it's fair game and God's will.

Michigan bill may allow lottery winners of multi-state games to remain anonymousReply
If they would prefer to play games that allow them to have that anonymity, they can play games that are offered just within Michigan, Harris continued. And there are still great prizes to be had on those games. Or allow ticket buying via telephone or internet so players can buy tickets from anonymous states. Or get friends or family members in anonymous states to buy you tickets there thus reducing Michigan sales by fair competition. That is a better idea...putting an end to th

$1.2 BILLION: Powerball jackpot is 3rd-largest in game historyReply
Sales are definitely down for this size jackpot Mondays are always slow compared to the other drawings, but tonight is Wednesday and they haven't raised the estimate at all. I'd still have thought it would finish out a bit higher, but a roll will mean an advertised jackpot of just 1.4 for Saturday. At this rate I'm not sure we'll see 2 billion by next Wednesday, assuming it keeps rolling. Of course they'll claim a new record if it makes it to 2.04001 billion, but with the current cash:a

$925 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
I think we're going to be looking at a new record. Annuity rates are high and sales are low. I think it could go the distance. Normies look at the annuity only anyways... People really do not understand how lottery tickets work. 2.5 bil advertised, 1.2 bil cash. Single winner. GA or TN. Scratch that FL or CA I'd love to see Ole California Edwin win it again and buy more Hollywood mansions. Maybe with his newfound wealth he could travel east and purchase the Biltmore.
