Florida has now surpassed NY in population size, that means it lags only behind California and Texas. It seems only natural that states with greater population size will turn out more winners since more tickets are purchased there, no? Remember that before California joined Power Ball, Florida was number one in ticket sales nationwide.

Speaking of Power Ball, the current jackpot sure looks preeety!!! $330 Million all the way to the bank baby.

I'm not sure what you mean. Its the FLORIDA LOTTO!!!!!! Why is this any surprise??????? I dont understand. If it was the Vermont Lottery and someone from Vermont won, would that be equally alarming??? I dont get it, someone please explain to me what i'm missing here.

Congrats to you JC!! Be well and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy

Just proves that QP's do win I've seen some LP winners hit a lot of money from QP's.

Why are you surprised by that? It is the FLORIDA LOTTO game after all. I would think most all winners of the Florida Lotto would be Floridians. Occasionally, you may get a snowbird or vacationer luck up and win.

I just visited South Florida, and I know I was surrounded by many millionaires and multi-millionaires. How else could the same people play golf several times per week while driving nice luxury cars? But did that tempt me to go bother them? Not in the least. There is a simple remedy for publicity of this nature...just travel frequently. Only someone who stays put in one place so that all the vultures can circle and land makes this a possiblity. But I have never seen vultures keep up nor stay inte... [ More ]
