Kentucky woman who never played the lottery before wins $75,000 on her first ticketReply
Am happy for her. May the win help pay off a pressing need. I have never played scratch card games and for the life of me, if I was to pick this card on the side walk, I would totally have no idea it's a winning card. I am reading the instructions and looking at the symbols, but still not getting it. Let me just wait for my PB and MM draws - I know a winning ticket a mile away

$1.725 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now 2nd-largest of all timeReply
Congrats to the winner/winners. I am done with it all now. It's not rigged, but it sure as hell feels like it. Plus MUSL refuses to raise the starting jackpot back to $40 million. Kind of a slap to the true player. The deal was $2.00 increase. bigger jackpots and bigger starting jackpots. Time to put my money elsewhere. Done with scratch offs, slot machines, nudge/skill machines, jackpot games, and on line. I am not a young man anymore and I cannot absorb the losses like I used to.
