On Sunday two people shared the jackpot netting 47K each. Both of them won with a Free Ticket. They both got the same winning number from a Free Ticket.

I lost count how many free tickets I've gotten over the many many years. But it only takes one free ticket to make your fantasy a reality. But also it depends on where you redeem it. There are so many retailers you have to pick the right one. Then again, most people are creatures of habit right? They get their tickets at the same place all the time or most of the time so in those situations it won't matter choosing the right machine.

Me, I play at different retailers within my zone of familiarity all the time. So when I get a free ticket I have to decide where to redeem it. Obviously I have been picking the wrong stores.

Some people scoff at Free Tickets but a free ticket is another chance to win. Lots of people have won with Free Tickets.

Congrats to those lucky two winners. I can't imagine scanning a ticket and seeing $47,678.15 pop up on the screen. They must have been in disbelief that their free ticket finally got them the jackpot. I wonder how long they had been playing? How many sorry not a winner messages they had to endure. Must be a satisfying feeling.... [ More ]
