Wow! That's the 2nd largest jackpot in United States History. I didn't know that person in Missouri step forward. I hope this person takes the cash value option.

I am excited to know who's the lucky person from Missouri. I know that he/she couldn't believe until now that he/she have won $588 million.

If you know this person, please ask him/her this question: What particulart non-government organization would you like to help or donate?

I am just curious...

It's called trolling and wanting attention. If you saw the ticket you would know it's photoshopped.

Ok, that was the increase in JP size. lol. I forgot about the amount they skim off the top.......

KY Floyd — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 02:10:09 GMT

If that's the case they forgot that tickets cost $2 now and undercharged everyone.

Could you please post a link to this story as I am only aware of two lottery

winners who were actually killed.

Comment #36

Original Bey — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:49:22 GMT

I agree!

Even some of the strongest supporters of self picks play QPs in combination with their own numbers.

Comment #35

haymaker — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:43:49 GMT

Maybe so, but I don't have a problem QP or SP

I fact I play both.

JC5 = SP

PIC6 = QP

used to QP on MM and PB only recently went to SP on those and now getting 1 or2 #s vs. nothing.

just nice to have the option .

Comment #34

Original Bey — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:36:29 GMT

You think so? Most would rather remain anonymous and most would take the cash option. I am sure polls would substantiate both.

Comment #33

Babel — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:35:15 GMT

It's supposed to take 15 days for the money to be collected from the various territories and be available for transfer to the winner. I see no reason why you would come forward any sooner then that. If you can't get the money may as well take the time in relative peace to seek advice and put your plans in place.

Comment #32

haymaker — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:33:31 GMT

I always thought the most divisive issue here was public vs anonymous, or cash vs. annuinity.

QP vs SP is probably 3rd place.

Comment #31

Hulk311 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:28:40 GMT

The reason why Easy Picks win more is because more people buy Easy Picks than use their own numbers.

Comment #30

Original Bey — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:18:05 GMT

I would love to see Todd publish an in depth article conveying both perspectives. This is the most divisive issue on LP. I am as you say a QP Hater - lol. I think we are misunderstood but the back n forth without a solid reference as mentioned above would prove futile so I won't pursue this any further.

Congrats again to the legitimate winners, who turned their ticket in on time and won't wind up in any pool litigation. Do well with your winfall

Congrats to this winner! What a merry Christmas it will be at his home full of adopted kids (if this is the true winner).

mediabrat — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:59:28 GMT

So much for creating BETTER ODDS for yourself by picking your own numbers. Random is random, by its very definition you can't predict it.

Of course, the whole idea of BETTER ODDS reveals a complete lack of understanding of the concepts of odds and probability. Past performance does not indicate future results, and being good at guessing numbers is not the same thing as having BETTER ODDS , it just means you're lucky.

Comment #24

helpmewin — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:55:41 GMT

Congrats to the winners! where ever you are, what a wonderful christmas it will be

Factorem — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:41:51 GMT

It appears to me that Hulk311 has more of a fascination with the seemingly impressive language of putting together a legal team than he remotely understands the implications of getting involved with, and dealing with real Incredible Hulks, which many lawyers are, and/or try to be.

Comment #22

golfer1960 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:38:28 GMT

Venom, He probably did it because he's very excited, he doesn't play the lottery much, and he's not an LP expert. A spontaneous response but I understand where you're coming from, he'll pay for this mistake big time.

Comment #21

VenomV12 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:28:03 GMT

This guy went on Facebook and told everyone he won. How dumb can you get? Why on God's earth would you do something like that

mcginnin56 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:09:18 GMT

Right golfer, the PB haters the QP haters, need to form a Hate Club

Comment #19

golfer1960 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:36:34 GMT

Hey Mcginnin, isn't it interesting that the winning ticket in MO was a quick pick?

Just before the drawing there were many players on LP stating that QP's are no good and that self picks are the only way to win a jackpot.

Hmmm....to all the QP haters

Comment #18

Ronnie316 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:20:37 GMT

Yeah, and it took them 7 draws to get past $10 million in sales per draw.......

dallascowboyfan — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:17:52 GMT

Hulk, some people are prepared in advance there was a lady that won the poweball in Iowa I believe in September Mary Lohse $202 she calimed her prize within a week as well.

Mary and Brian Lohse said they had done their homework in advance by meeting with financial planners and had some very specific plans for the future as they claimed their big prize

They had $262.5 million in sales on this last draw.......

Yea, You might be right, but I only play 6 dollars worth, without PP. I have birthday numbers numbers I also play. 2 lines of my birthday numbers, then 1 qp.

Ronnie316 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:00:31 GMT

Once a pattern of 10-15 rollovers develops, people will quit playing after a Jackpot.

Comment #12

rock_nc — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:53:27 GMT

Getting me some numbers together for Saturday's drawing. I'll take half of 40 million.

Comment #11

Ronnie316 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:47:48 GMT

I would NOT be much for running scared and hiding from the public like so many LP'ers seem to be.

Comment #10

rock_nc — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:46:36 GMT

I agree with you on that. Just seen it on the news where this guy was showing everybody his ticket, to see if he has the correct numbers. Even handed it to a man to check for him. He is living dangerrously if you ask me. congrats to him, hope he plan's it out right.

Erzulieredeyes — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:42:59 GMT

Puh-leezzzzzzze.

All this rubbish about gathering a legal team and turning the ticket in at the ''right moment''. Possibly when the news is covering something traggic? haha.. NO. GOOD ADVICE THO!

But if it was me who won I would have turned the ticket in immediately or at least no more than two weeks after i've won. People are still talking about the mega millions last jackpot and a prize this big is going to be in the spotlight for awhile so with that said I'd claim and get it out t... [ More ]

There won't be much of a mystery about the winners of this jackpot. One guy already coming forward and another one spotted in Maryland checking a ticket he brought in Arizona.

Congratulations to the QP's....

I thought only movie stars adopted children from foreign countries.........

LotteryInOK — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:16:33 GMT

If I won the lottery, you know what I would scared of? Getting robbed the second I walk out the door

Comment #3

Hulk311 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:08:17 GMT

That was fast. I wonder if they already got a financial planner and laywer. If it was me who won I would have put together a legal team as well as take my time turning in the lottery ticket to get the media all worked up on who won. I would then turn in the ticket during some kind of trategy that all of thew news channels would be busy with.

Comment #2

LotteryInOK — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:46:42 GMT

The lottery winner is Mark Hill

Comment #1

mcginnin56 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:26:03 GMT

There was a news story on the Today show this morning on this couple, along with an interview of the mother in law and a family friend.

All comments indicated this couldn't have happened to a more deserving couple. They have adopted children from foreign countries.

Interestingly their chosen numbers were all QP's

Winning Powerball ticket in Mo. turned in

Lottery Post — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:55:28 GMT

Lottery officials in Missouri say a winning Powerball ticket for the record $588 million drawing has been turned-in and verified.

A news conference is expected to be held Friday afternoon.

This Friday morning, two small communities are waiting, along with the rest of the country, to find out who bought winning Powerball tickets at this Missouri convenience store and this food mart in Arizona.

Nothing like this has ever happened in Dearborn.

Fountain Hills is a pretty small town, a... [ More ]
