Just so happens that this Fortune Road Publix is in my neighborhood. I play my numbers there all the time. Word I'm hearing is that the winner is a 70yr. old women. Apperantly, she brought the ticket to the store on Sunday, to validate, and several people witnessed her delight. What a blessing! Just what I'm hearing. Hoping that Lady Luck stays in Kissimmee for a while

I've got a real good idea you're a whining little witch and if antyone said anything about a winner coming from wherever the heck it is that you live you'd be even more so.

You've made several posts about the winner better not be near where the drawing is held . If you get jade-green jealous over someone else winning a game you can't even play you really need help.

As for the rest of your post I authenticate Gulf Foxtrot as Yankee in reply to your stfu.

Basta fongool and statazeet.

I have to say, I was in Florida for the Shuttle launch and bought a ticket for the Powerball. As we were driving home, I read that the winning ticket was from Florida! So for .00005 seconds, I felt maybe I had won!

Good luck to the real winner (wait a minute...they already have the luck!) and I hope you go anonymous

you have no idea what you're talking about, so stfu. I don't even live in a state that has Powerball so why would I be crying over a lotto, I can't even play. Before anyone writes anything, I don't actually live in pocatello.

And this winner, FLA's first Powerball winner was purchased like 5 minutes from where its drawn. http://www.wesh.com/news/21304464/detail.html

Congratulations to the winner of any age: younger or older. Of course, I am hoping the winner is in dire, financial straits, i.g., financial foreclosure, credit card debt, car payment, bank loan, or college tuition. Anyway, Florida usually has substantial lottery winners -- compared to some other states. So, I wasn't too shocked that the winner hailed from Florida. Pennsylvania is a good second runner up; a great deal of winners come out of that state, too.

Why exactly do you think sells of lottery tickets should be banned if they're within a certain distance from the drawing? What makes 40 okay and 30 not? Or even 35?

To me a ticket sold 20 yards from the drawing location is just as valid as a ticket sold 1,000 miles away, do you have any proof that I shouldn't be thinking that

maringoman — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 19:00:58 GMT

A Quick Pick ticket. I think thats the best way to play. A bunch of quick picks unless you're playing a game that has not so high odds such as pick 3 or pick 4 or cash 5.

I'm going to play 9 lines to tomorrows megamillions. Wish me luck

Not so sure that there is any logic in this post .............. 31 miles would ensure what ?

Yikes .................... a conspiracy !

megamanX — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 16:19:55 GMT

yes, of course, ticket sales should be band within a 30 mile radius of where the drawing takes place, that is exactly what I was advocating. You summed up my position so well. From what I wrote, I don't know how anyone could come up with any other conclusion.

Comment #7

rcbbuckeye — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:21:46 GMT

Should there never be a winning ticket sold near where the drawing is held? For any lottery? Should the lotteries not sell tickets at all within say 30 miles of where the drawing takes place?

Much ado over nothing.

Comment #6

megamanX — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 14:31:44 GMT

does anyone know where the official Powerball drawings take place?

Out of all the 44 United States jurisdictions where Powerball is played, the winning ticket is bought at a store about 15 minutes from where the drawings are held, very interesting.

The winning lottery ticket for Saturday's $182.1 million Powerball jackpot was sold in a Publix store in Kissimmee, Florida, located on a road with a very fitting name.

It's at 2340 Fortune Road and someone who bought a Powerball ticket for Saturday night's drawing at that store has won a fortune.

The Quick Pick ticket won the $182.1 million jackpot. If the winner wants to take a one-time cash payment, it is $91.2 million.
