$319M Mega Millions lottery ticket redeemed

New York is one of those states that requires the dog and pony show. Even if they all formed trusts to handle the money, I think they would have to show up at the press conference themselves. I've never heard of a representative being allowed to conduct it in the winner's place here in NY. Perhaps that's why some people wait so long to redeem their tickets; they figure the hype and excitement over their win will have subsided and their press conference won't get as much attention as it would hav...

I don't understand why they to have a press conference.this will be another media circus.they shouldn't have said anything and let the atty form a trust and cash it in.the lottery commission gives us the b.s. that the reason they do interviews and publish names is to show the public that real people play and win the lottery.okayyyyyyy.

Kentucky's a ping pong state?

Hear they put up fences around cemeterys cause people are dying to get in...sorry that's so old just coulden't pass it up..If you decide to move to a ping pong state like Kentucky please give tiggs ample time to sell out..Thanks in advance ridgey palsey walsey..

RL,

Just my $.02 but i think luck and chance (not chances)are the same. How about the phrase, We'll just have to leave it to chance .

Also, this comes to mind, parody of an old rock song,

C'mon baby won't you take a chance.....

I left my rubbers in my other pants....

tiggs95,

Move to a ping pong state is the answer...

Very shortly after tiggs had convinced rdgrnr to mive to a ping poin statde that state became a non-ping pong state and stopped televising the draw... [ More ]

tiggs sister lives in Surprise Az and they don't have a ping pong drawing either and they don't show the numbers on TV..Sounds like a bad state for a lottery..Move to a ping pong state is the answer..ridge lives in a no ping pong sate Tenn..Maybe he should move one state up so he can get a fair shake...He complains about not trusting the Tenn lottery but still buys tickets..Guess he might say It's the only game in town ..

Tiggs

Where I live there are no ping pong balls at all and the drawings are not even brodcast on tv. If there

were no balls would it make any difference. I posted another method that could be used by the lottery

that used a big wheel like on the game show The price is right where every set had it's own space on

the wheel. The wheel would be spun and the space it lands on when it stopped would be the winning

set. If such a method was used would it would there be any difference ver... [ More ]

I still think it is just chance, If luck and chance are the same then if one can improve their chances

then I guess luck would also be increased. The women had the correct numbers and that is why

she won. If I make a mistake filling out my playslips I call it a mistake. I can' t change the numbers

that will be drawn but I can play a smarter set, if they don't hit it does not mean that my numbers

selected were unlucky it just means that they did not match the draw. No system wi... [ More ]

RL,

I guess you would call it luck but no one has been able to tell me what luck is.

How about whenever the nunmbers you played are the numbers drawn, whatever the method of number selection, that's luck.

How about when you've worked out some numbers and fill out the playslip wrong and those are what hit. Not luck?

How about the woman a few monthsa go who thought she was playing Powerball and played the Mega Millions and won it? Not luck

I agree with you randomlogic. Don't waste your time though. Some folks just refuse to learn anything new. A Caveman mentaility will keep someone dumbed down. They actually like it that way because then they don't have to use the little amount of brain cells they have left.

It's so sad....

Why thank you ridge..tiggs has been called many things but never a psychotic maniac..Is that a good thing?..

tiggs95 — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:48:20 GMT

If you can ever figure out how to handicap a ping pong ball let everybody know until then luck is the answer be it good luck or bad luck..Number predicting is just guessing..Nobody knows what the next set of numbers are and if they did they would hit everytime and there would be no lottery so GOOD LUCK...

Have you ever considered that pooling money to play more tickets is a system, It provides more chances

of winning a prize with a smaller investment. I guess you would call it luck but no one has been able to

tell me what luck is. They had the winning ticket that matched all the numbers and that is all. Even when

a system player matches the numbers that's all that happends. System players just try to gain an edge

by playing sets of numbers that they think have a better cha... [ More ]

LOL, I think this third-person thing may be part of a major psychosis but it is also very enlightening.

This may explain putting mail in the wrong boxes for a lifetime. It was never I or me . It was always tiggs who did it.

Now I get it.

So that's why my mailman refers to himself as the kid .

You're all psychotic maniacs.

I wonder if they're going to reveal their strategy and system for picking that Quick Pick ?

The one that won the Jackpot of 319 million dollars.

That one.

I buy one every draw, along with my birthday numbers.

Call me crazy.

But I'm really very mysterious and avant-garde in a swashbuckling kind of way.

En garde!

The winners of the $319 million lottery are rumored to be seven IT specialists from New York state's Division of Housing and Community Renewal, said Emanuel Biondi, a public employees federation council leader for the agency.

However, a New York Lottery spokesman could no... [ More ]
