It takes money to chase those big jackpots. Oh, I'm sorry it only cost $2 to play.

Comment #117

THRIFTY — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 21:35:24 GMT

I contributed $2 to the jackpot winner. The lottery did not choose my combination to win the jackpot.lol

Comment #116

Ronnie316 — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:24:19 GMT

Either way, I cant wait to hear the person interest story of the CA/NY resident who bought a ticket in Iowa.

Comment #115

mcginnin56 — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:16:50 GMT

Or maybe a New York resident who was passing through Iowa, where they bought their ticket, to re-locate to California.

Comment #114

Ronnie316 — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:11:11 GMT

Perhaps it was a CA resident VISITING Iowa

Dateline: The future

LP post: How come it's always someone from planet Zigblitt 227 that wins the intergalactic jackpots?

Carl8080,

It's a little hard to believe someone from NY would complain about a winner's location outside of NY.

am hoping it was a lady friend of mine as she seems to be MIA this early morning

Cheer up golfer. Remember, thanks to your steady contributions, you've made some very happy millionaires!

Now wipe away those tears, and get back to work.

golfer1960 — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 12:21:38 GMT

I'm so upset...

Comment #109

mcginnin56 — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 11:39:57 GMT

Probably the winner is a recent transplant from California.

Comment #108

hearsetrax — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 11:00:23 GMT

well am disapointed it wasn't VA ...... but least it hit somewhars besides calipornia and or NY

Comment #107

Carl8080 — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 10:38:52 GMT

Great Iowa has won it multiple huge jackpots this year no to mention a big Mega millions too. I thnk since California win the Mega every month and small states like Iowa win the power all its frustrating.

Comment #106

Win$500Quick — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:29:12 GMT

As a Florida player, I am very jealous of Mega Millions $1 ticket price. Remember the $656 Mega Millions Jackpot. Occasional I take a rode trip to Georgia and play advance play. A Dollar and A Dream

Comment #105

LottoBoner — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 07:53:52 GMT

the hype is dangerous for a disciplined gambler, such as myself

besides, i couldn't get myself to splurge for that extra dollar to buy a ticket. i will have to settle for a measly $21 million in MM.

Comment #104

LottoBoner — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 07:49:56 GMT

did iowa really win? the new york website says check back soon.

maybe the information superhighway doesn't work too well for newyork. or maybe they are hoping people are still buying tickets

Comment #103

OldSchoolPa — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 07:49:49 GMT

Wow...I always have a play in for every drawing, but never felt compelled to buy any more plays. I did not win but feel good that I did not get caught up in jackpot amount hype. I actually lived by my mantra thatother jackpot amount only matters AFTER you find you have the winning ticket! I can adjust my dream accordingly...I have $25 million dreams as well as a few nine figure million dollar dreams, but I don't allow my optimism to ride the jackpot amount roller coaster.

Funny how I aM... [ More ]

Masone — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 06:54:19 GMT

As a California player, I am very jealous of those frequent high jackpots from Powerball.

Comment #101

Simba774 — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 06:32:20 GMT

Okay, people the hype for that is over. I better move to Honey Boo Boo's town because that is where the next big JP is going to be won

HiFi — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 04:56:53 GMT

iowa won again. same couple states winning multiple times per year is very annoying.

Big mcginnin56, your a heavy hitter round these parts and I noticed you saddled up the 10 horse for the bonus number money. Best of luck on riding that one home as the big winner.

Was actually meant to be sound financial advice for our fellow LP'er.

Hopefully he will followup on this, and have great news to report in the very near future!

Things are going along just delightfully golfer, thank you for asking. Hoping your dreams are being realized as we speak.

After months of reading the lottery news and comments on Lottery Post, I'm finally a member and can't wait to join the conversations.

Hopefully, my new membership will bring me some extra luck in winning this week's $200 million jackpot, especially now that NJ winners can remain anonymous for a year

Comment #62

golfer1960 — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:34:47 GMT

No you're not the only one Brce, I fantasize about winning, retiring, and playing golf and tennis for the rest of my life. Travel around the world is also in my dreams. I want a nice house that I could afford to maintain too. I also dream of having financial security and living off the interest (and working part-time if I want to).

Oh yeah, and pretty girls

I think a lot of people trade up when given the opportunity. I see many people with a Ms./Mr. Right Now vs Ms/Mr. Right.

RJOh — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 01:17:46 GMT

He obviously hasn't amounted to what he's hoping to if he's only with the woman he's vacationing with until he's doing better. Maybe she's buying lottery tickets and thinking the same things, it's happened before.

Comment #36

Artist77 — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 00:41:13 GMT

Well I will have to commend him for saying he already amounts to someone......too many people seem to be putting their life and goals on hold hoping for a lottery win (I will do X when I win, etc). If it costs nothing but your time and effort, do it now.

That is bit odd, considering she practically just met this fellow. A little risky given the world we live in today.

Comment #25

RJOh — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:34:20 GMT

His social skills are fine. I'm just wondering how smart she is if they haven't been dating long and she's going on a Florida vacations with him. We just had a women north of here in the news who did that and didn't return. Luckily she had family who cared about her more than her boyfriend or her body would have never been found.

Why, myturn08, do you maintain a 'love relationship' with a person you don't currently love [she would probably have to think counter to your thought in MORE issues than gambling for a once strong connection to diminish]? Do you have low self respect or poor social skills
