I'm glad she did that. She may not hit the jackpot but still $7000 is still a lot of money. As for me I need to check my tickets too, I might hit the jackpot today

That's very lucky. What number did she didn't match that would've won the jackpot

Ronnie316 — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:48:30 GMT

I think more people joining the pool would give the numbers more power to win.

Comment #24

Ronnie316 — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:47:20 GMT

You may be right. We could be the first humans even to have an acknowledged engineered win.

maringoman — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:42:25 GMT

I think there are more people in LP secretly playing these numbers and the proof will come out that fateful day lol

Comment #22

Ronnie316 — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:40:10 GMT

Finding the jackpot in a trash can is one way to engineer a big win.

Ronnie316 — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:34:05 GMT

maringoman is giving D winners away for free, and Im D only person on LP who is playing deez numbers.

Deez R D Big JP Winning Numbers...............

Comment #18

Ronnie316 — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:03:37 GMT

Right. Even if its a QP they still walked up to the counter, paid money and engineered a win.

Comment #17

maringoman — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:55:51 GMT

Its true. Ordinary people do it every day and that is why I have never given up hoping to win

Comment #16

Ronnie316 — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:51:52 GMT

Humans can pick winning numbers, no matter what the non-lottery playing opinioniser's say.

Let's get out there and win a big jackpot.

Comment #15

maringoman — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:47:34 GMT

Yeah. I think I would have settled too. Something is better than nothing especially with winning becoming so tough for me lately

Comment #14

Ronnie316 — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:45:12 GMT

Judges try to meet in the middle anytime they can get away with it. I would have settled too.

Comment #13

maringoman — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:41:26 GMT

They settled meaning it could have gone either way had they not settled. Even the fact that it went into trial tells you that the judge decided its worth a trial. Both parties must have got nervous of losing everything and so decided to settle.

Comment #12

Ronnie316 — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:36:59 GMT

Thanks for the story. It talks about 2 cases, and both of them settled with the buyer of the ticket. To me the buyer is the rightful owner, and I think the courts might agree.

Comment #11

maringoman — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:16:29 GMT

That is debatable. It happened in MA and the lucky man and unlucky man had to go to court. It was settled before the trial run its course.

If the store she bought the lottery from has a CCTV, she would be able to prove that she bought the ticket.

How else would it get in the trash? The ticket belongs to the person who paid for it.

THAT WAS MY TICKET!!!!!

I WAS THE ONE WHO THREW IT IN HER TRASH CAN

CLETU$ — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:42:12 GMT

I wouldn't be surprised if someone else will try to claim the winnings by saying that THEY accidently threw the ticket away and Ms.Womack found it and cashed it in.

Woman digs $10,000 Powerball lottery ticket out of trash

Lottery Post — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 17:25:18 GMT

A 41-year-old woman from Greensburg, Louisiana, says she initially threw away a Powerball ticket for the March 23 drawing, but dug it out of the trash when she realized she hadn't checked the numbers.

It's a good thing she did. The ticket was worth $10,000.

Joyce Womack's ticket matched four of the first five numbers drawn as well as the Powerball number. The numbers drawn were: 17, 29, 31, 52, 53 and Powerball 31.

Womack says she didn't know exactly how much she'd won until arriving at... [ More ]
