manhouss,

At one time we had a LP Urban Legends thread. Your post would have won, no question. It's still good for a lottery tin hat award. On steroids.

for one thing, you said:

since 48 states participating in the game,why the jackpot it can be $48 millions instead $20 M.(48 states = $ 48 millions) thanks to evryone,remember this is my opinion,you guess what is going on.....

Well, Todd is always accurate and on the Powerball game info it lists 42 states and D.C.

The winning ticket was bought in Kissimmee, FL. That's less than a 15 minute drive from where the powerball drawings take place at Universal Studios in Orlando. Hmmmmm....nothing suspicious about that at all.

All I have to say is the winner's background and family tree better be checked with a fine tooth comb to make sure he or she has no connection with anyone who works at Universal Studios.

The comments about the drawing being rigged are ridiculous. Orlando is one of the most visited areas in the country and has many Florida Lottery winners. Both Miami Orlando are in the lottery news all the time. People on this board often complain about winners in Florida, but if you lived here, you'd realize how populated it is this time of year. Not only are there over 18.5 million legal residents, but in the winter the number of people in some areas triples. There are not only tourists who spe... [ More ]

Florida Lotto will post the exact location tomorrow. The jackpot was estimated at 184, but fell short at 182.

if the winner is from Orlando, Florida and they have a relative or friend who works at Universal Studios, then the game was rigged

Boney526 — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 02:23:09 GMT

Honestly, I've got one ticket and I'm hoping I just hit the powerball - or something. Any small prize would be nice tonight, especially with the powerplay (I'm stuck doing a Statistics Project tonight and NJ has been throwing out repeat after repeat, which has caused me to lose a few draws.

Pennsylvania has had more lottery winners than New Mexico. It's time for New Mexico to have a big winner. Remember, New Mexico is not a country.

Um, didn't someone from Washington State win the huge $390 Million dollar MM jackpot? Unless your talking about for the Powerball in which case wish you the best of luck, but I think it's Delaware's turn.

As my dear old friend Frank once said:

Fairy tales (winning the lottery) can come true, it can happen to you if you're young at heart (or just plain lucky!)...

GOOD LUCK to us all!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna watch It Could Happen To You (1994) now.

mightwin — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 19:48:05 GMT

Yeah I don't go pay attention to the astronomical odds of winning. There were 17 jackpots won in 2010 for Powerball and at least 11+ jackpots won in each of the previous years. And pretty much the same goes for Mega Millions. So you could expect at least 20+jackpot wins between both games this year. Someone is going to win, that's guaranteed. So say to yourself, it could be me

ttech10 — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 19:31:48 GMT

Only spending a little bit on this one. Thinking $2 MM, $4 PB and $4 for Texas Lotto. If it's meant to be it's gonna happen, if not, then it'll be like the past times I've spend big and won small (or nothing). But I'm really hoping I can get a PB win for Texas (pretty sure we haven't had one).

I normally play 1 set of my own numbers and let the computer pick the rest Still i come up short, I have been playing big games since i was about 18 years old and im 30 now.There is no odds to me it is all about geographical areas 95% of the time! I can spend $100 million on tickets and still lose. It is cruel but fair.I am thankful to have the dream and the chance.

Buying $100 worth of tickets and only winning $3 could get old fast. If I bought $100 worth of tickets I would as lease make sure I played every bonus number twice guaranteeing I would win at least $6.

I got a few tickets this time, instead of going overboard and spending $100 dollars and getting a $3 dollar return

The last Powerball jackpot to reach the size of the upcoming Saturday drawing was on June 2, 2010, when one ticket from Ohio won a $261.6 million grand prize.

I'm hoping it happens again in Ohio and that the ticket will belong to me. Go Ohio

Biggest Powerball jackpot in 8 months

By Todd Northrop

The multi-state Powerball lottery drawing happened last night once again without any jackpot winners, causing the new jackpot for Saturday's drawing to grow to an estimated $184 million, with a cash option of $90.1 million.

Wednesday night was the 9th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner.

Even though there were no jackpot winners, 12 lucky tickets matched the first five numbers for a $200,000 second-place prize: 1 from Ar... [ More ]
