I need to subtly learn if my hubby's friend in Wilkes-Barre owns a Subaru. He's the kind that would visit a store like that - an he could use the money.

:-D

They say quick picks have substance. This is how I run my group lotteries.

Did somebody notice that the store that sold the pick 6 jp in Ohio earned $1,000 while a store that sold pick 6 in PA earned $10,000.

Ohio Lottery must be a very stingy lottery...or maybe they are normal and PA lottery is more generous. Either way, I'd rather be a store owner in PA if I was to sell lottery.

Congrats to the winner. Looking to hit the local pick 6 here in MA

Wooo! No Patels to rain on this winner's parade! And how convenient for the Lotto Headquarters to be right down the street! I can't even imagine the elation when folks realize they have that life-changing ticket! Well maybe I'll get to feel comfortably numb following this Saturday's Powerball drawing! Good luck LP'ers

Very nice and on a quick pick too!

I'd like to check my tickets at home rather than hand them to a clerk to scan. I could take my time and think about how I'd like to handle the win

and have some control over who knew what and when.

The Match 6 is a fun game, I'm happy they brought it back in PA. For $2, you get a set of 3 lines with 6 numbers each (18#'s total) and 2 ways to

win.

One is matching numbers on one line of 6 numbers - another is matching numbers in the field of 18 num... [ More ]

Congratulations to the winner who is now financially secure enough to retire. Sounds like a smart person calling his financial advisor on the way to cash in the ticket. Also congratulations to Anthracite Newsstand for selling the winner ticket and collecting $10,000.

Ann Marie Bossard couldn't speak.

She had just scanned one of her regular customer's lottery tickets, and the number that came up was the largest she'd ever seen for a payout at Anthracite Newsstand in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania: More than $4.2 million.

I was putting tickets in, they said 'no winner,' 'no winner.' This came out, it said 'winner.' I couldn't say anything, she said Tuesday.

Bossard said the customer buys tickets twice a week for different games. He bought the Match 6 lot... [ More ]
