I think the last MM winner here was in 2002, it was 163 miilion, but two people won. One in Illinois, and the other was in New Jeresy. The Shell gas station where the winning ticket was purchased is right up the street from where I live! But my family didn't even play MMs back then. No PB winners yet

i live in Wisconsin, and it's been pretty dry up here, especially in Southeastern Wisconsin. No Big Winners of any kind Power-Ball or Mega-Millions. Before they added all these other States and it was still the orignal multi-state and Wisconsin joined before they changed names, we had some Big Winners but then they started added states and the our winning streak went down to now hardly nothing. We haven't had a Mega-Millions winner since the cross sales either.

I had asked the Lottery Comm. w... [ More ]

Oh, please! I live in Illinois, it's gets very cold, but people rarely hit the jackpot here! Hell, we just got PB this year or last year, and no one has hit it yet

I think Michigan, Ohio, New York, and California tend to have the highest hit rate among Mega Millions winners. Then again, there's nothing else to do in Michigan, Ohio, and New York this time of year because it's so dang cold

Well, then I'm definitely done buying anymore lottery in Michigan ! cause theres NO way it will produce anymore jackpot winners anytime soon- theres too many other states. I 'll have my friends in New York buy them there for me !.

I don't know which is classier...the bars on the windows of the adjacent stores or the sign on the front of the bookstore, advertising ADULT ENTERTAINMENT and LATEST XXX MOVIES . I guess we all know where the lotto winnings will go! MORE PORN

I wonder if it was the same person who won both? That would be sick luck.

Well I'm there looking for lottery tickets, naturally. They keep telling me they don't have any and ain't never gonna get any but I keep checking back just in case.

Congrats to the winners!! Hopefully they're both taking their time and hiring a financial advisor....especially being from a poorer area. I hope they claim it as anonymously as possible or get the heck out of Dodge

Well that's ok then. But men at those places are creepy.

It would be funny if the Lottery person who hands them the check has rubber gloves on.

Congrats to the winners and the state of Michigan!! But wouldn't it be hilarious if both the tickets were won by the same person/family? lol. Now that would be extra great

We got a lil Mom and Pops bookstore close to my house.

Twice they sold the winning Powerball tickets here in PA (over a 15 year period). Now what are the odds of a lil pop shop handing those out ? Not like they have a line of players.....Will say this though....90% of the time when I go there I either break even from a ticket or win more then I played....so there is something about this lil reading store.

And yes Kids read, they use IPADS and electrionic reading which is quicker downloads... [ More ]

I'm always amazed at the places that sale lottery tickets. I've yet to ever find a place other than a gas station (major ones, minus Flying J) that sales any kind of lottery ticket but on stories I've read delis, liquor stores, bars, grocery stores, restaurants and now a book store (if we can call those books) were all home to winners. If I ever find one of those places that sells PB/MM tickets I'm getting some, maybe it'll bring some luck. I do believe the grocery stores I go to sell scratch-of... [ More ]

If the person who hit Powerball and Mega Millions in Michigan. Should team up and give some money to help out Michigan. Like 1 millions each.

What would that amount to, about 50 per person? Most people could give themselves more than that by giving up playing the lotteries for one day.

Todd — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 05:13:17 GMT

OMG, you're saying that it's an adult bookstore?

I take back what I said about being happy it was in a book store

keepitreal — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 05:10:23 GMT

Winner hits jackpot at adult bookstore.

I was going to play Powerball but I forgot. Then I was like someone from Michigan will hit Powerball and maybe they post on here. I was right someone did hit jackpot in Michigan and it was first time.

If the person who hit Powerball and Mega Millions in Michigan. Should team up and give some money to help out Michigan. Like 1 millions each.

rdgrnr — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 04:33:31 GMT

You got that right, Todd. Every time I see young people in a bookstore, they're in the magazine section or books about video games and such.

I love books though and read a lot. I just hope this new kindle type stuff doesn't kill the book business and bookstores.

tiggs was born in Highland Park,Mi about 100 years ago..Long time before they ever sold lottery tickets a very long time..Hope the people who won do right...

Todd — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 02:39:35 GMT

I'm glad to see that they sell lottery tickets in a book store. Maybe it will encourage more people to read books. With all the TV-based entertainment these days, not enough people read.

DETLotteryPlaye — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 01:18:45 GMT

Highland Park is not a rich area

And its basically Detroit

Just a different name.

rdgrnr — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 00:55:55 GMT

Sold in a bookstore, hmm...

I love bookstores, bookstores are some of my favorite places.

I've never seen one sell lottery tickets though.

I wish they'd sell tickets in a bookstore around me.

First, they'd have to build a bookstore though.

Actually, it'd be nice to have a bookstore/liquor store combination.

So I wouldn't have to drive 35 miles to get a dadgum bottle of whiskey

Is the lottery distributing our playing money to certain state demography areas. I SENT $5 QUICK PICK TO A LOCAL DEMOGRAPHY AREA IN MICHIGAN.I wonder if it was a wealthy neighborhood, a middle class neighborhood or a poor neighborhood that won the jackpot in michigan. IN NEW YORK I DO NOT SEE TOO MANY POOR NEIGHBORHOODS WINNING THE BIG LOTTERY PRIZES.

MAYBE THAT IS WHY THEY CALL THE LOTTERY A TAX ON THE POOR.(OH, I'M JUST JOKING TOO

First-ever Powerball win in Michigan

$128.6 million Powerball win comes just one week after $140 million Mega Millions jackpot won in same state

By Todd Northrop

The USA's two biggest multi-state lottery games produced $100 million+ jackpot winners within the same week both in the state of Michigan.

Mega Millions was the first to turn out a grand prize winner. On Oct. 29, one lucky ticket sold in Michigan's Upper Peninsula region matched the first five numbers plus the Mega Ball numb... [ More ]
