Congratulations to Ohio for winning the MM ticket. It's the 3rd time in a row that OH has won the jackpot in MM. It is the only state winning MM Jackpots this year so far. Also, they won two jackpots in a row over $200 million.

They can track it yes. That is how they KNOW where the winning tickets are sold down to the business that sold it. Considering that they have a list of them I guess it depends on when they bring in the report. I suppose if they have access to the readings yes but if not of course No... anyone else

Don't think lotto officials would be buying tickets in Ohio where they can remain anonymous.

I am curious to know if the lotto is able tot track what numbers are bought from a certain area prior to the drawing.......anu info you guys might have

good luck.i heard that gas prices were going to start climbing and stay that way.it hurts the lottery because people have less to play....

I had 5 MM tickets from a MA store and didn't get one single number on any line which shows how hard it is to win anything at all. I told my sister that I'll never ask her to buy me a ticket again. I can't afford to lose this kind of money because I play the Florida lottery too. When the price of gas goes back down to $2.39 I'll have another $10 bucks to spend after every fillup!

Oh, I just checked and I didn't win a dime with the 5 FL Lotto tickets either, but at least I got 4 numbers...j... [ More ]

With another Ohioan having won a $267M MegaMillions jackpot within the last two months, it's unlikely this winner will make a big deal of winning $265M.

Don't worry if they are an idiot they will provide plenty of enertainment. If they run the talk show circuit instead of trying to remain anonymous that's a good indicator that they are starting their downwards spiral at a nice clip.

Uff Da! — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 02:20:25 GMT

The problem with having a winner from Ohio, as I see it, is that should they choose to claim the prize anonymously, I'm going to feel cheated out of part of the entertainment value of the money I put into raising that jackpot. LOL! Congrats to the winner(s) anyway. May they live long and PROSPER

So near and yet so far. Finally, an Ohio megajackpot in the sw of the state. Just 10 miles away. I lived in MO and 2 powerball jackpots hit 1 block away from me in opposite directions. Come on lightning, right here. No, here.

As far as winning in Ohio, I AM NEXT IN LINE!!! Drop that check of to me in Ashtabula, Ohio!!! 300 mill will do just fine, Lum sum please.

If you think annuity would be better, than you probably are not taking the right money management course. I hope you don't win until after you realize LUMP SUM is the way to go.

SassyOhio — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 20:17:23 GMT

AUto Pick is the same as quick pick in Ohio so yeah it was a computerized chosen numbers, I heard through the grape Vine that it was a group that won it but we just have to wait and see if my friend has gotten the corrct information! I dont know anything on the winning ticket here in Columbus but I am sure that its going to be on the news tonight! Let's keep the BUCKEYE FEVER GOING

Comment #25

MIMIC — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 20:02:21 GMT

Why?

I'm a college student from Columbus, OH and I think that the annuity option would be the best choice.

Oh yeah, and if you guys hear about a win in Columbus, OH near OSU, it's probably me

bobby623 — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 19:58:49 GMT

According to info posted at the Ohio lottery webpage, the winning ticket was an auto pick, which is probably the same as a quick pick.

The Cincinnati Enquirer (www.enquirer.com) says the ticket was bought one block from a university. I'm hoping it wasn't bought by a young student (or group) who MIGHT choose annuity.

I would think that the MM agreement would include something to ensure that QPs are generated uniformly. Maybe the same random number generator.

It is pure and simple luck which numbers come out and where the ticket is sold. I think you are overanalyzing Ohio. It is just the luck of the draw.

four4me — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 15:10:31 GMT

I guess it depends on a couple of things like if people won with their own numbers or with qpicks. it's possible that Ohio's qpick machines generators print out more diverse picks than other states.

I know Maryland has almost been out of the loop on matching 5 out of 6. I have bought 5 qpicks picks from two different places here and got almost the same numbers from both places.

A couple times we had a pool of 10 people and bought 100 tickets and at least 40 tickets had repeat digits and s... [ More ]

I know this is crazy....how does Ohio keep getting the winners. That is two major jackpots in a row now that have gone there. Not only that but it seems like a bunch of large jackpots have gone in that state in the past couple years and they don't even sell that many tickets.
