I want the lottery ppl target the young once. Let us win instead of them letting 75-year old ppl win, what's the use?Give us a chance too. We need it more than they do, don't you think

3 years ago, I'm not allowed to buy the ticket yet. My mom used to buy them for me. Now I can jejeje...wait 'til I turn 21 and you'd see a young JP winner here. I wonder why mostly JP winners are aged? Jejejeje...maybe this time for once I'd see someone young to win, at least.

I think I'll try my luck with scratch-off tickets twice a week until the Mega gets above $100ms. Haven't played those for over 15 years now but can you guys recommend any good scratch off lottery game that pays millions or thousands pers week for life (heard that somewhere) and only cost a dollar?

Time to chase the PowerBall game. Will the Mega Game Jackpot exceed the Power Ball Jackpot before there is a winner in the latter game

Teddi — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 13:56:13 GMT

I was thinking the same thing and wondering how they were going to twist ANOTHER non-California non-New York win into their BS 'theory'. I'm guessing Florida will now have to be in on the big conspiracy.

LottoMetro — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 01:47:53 GMT

Well, I think those are very premature and speculative figures. Nobody really knows for certain how players will behave once the jackpot tops $1 billion. But if it rolls past a billion, then people will be looking forward to $2 billion and so forth. It would be pretty crazy.

I'm not sure we'll ever get to that point with the current game and cost structure, though. MUSL projects a jackpot of $1 billion about once in 10 years. With sales of $439,506,354 we would be looking at less than 30% cha... [ More ]

PrisonerSix — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 01:32:41 GMT

I hope things go well for the winners, whoever they are. I won't be buying again until the jackpot reaches $100 million. Since the odds have gotten so out of hand on Powerball and MegaMillions, I only play them myself when the jackpots break $100 million. I may up that a little more if jackpots that high get more common. I still play in my 12 person lottery pool at work though, since it gives me chances at 3 different games.

Lately I'm concentrating on Louisiana Lotto and Easy 5, along wit... [ More ]

They're expecting almost twice as much in sales with only an extra day worth of sales? Am I reading that right

Comment #79

LottoMetro — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 01:10:13 GMT

On the jackpot documents distributed to Powerball lotteries. The text I posted is actually not black on the doc, so it's not something clearly visible. Seems to act as a kind of placemarker. There are no forecasts between the next draw (which will be $96M if no winner btw) and the dates I posted, however.

Yes, it seems odd but sales have a limited capacity. There are only so many terminals which can only print so many tickets within an allotted timespan. There are 3 days to buy tickets for Sa... [ More ]

LottoMetro — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 23:47:46 GMT

Reading some of the lottery press releases you can tell that they are anxious to hit record levels.

Even MUSL has been including $1 billion+ jackpots in PB estimation documents lately:

Date Day Sales Actual Jackpot

04/26/14 Sat $439,506,354 $1,016,628,807

I just went to Delaware Lottery site and they now tax winnings.

The matrix on this site still lists them as not taxing lottery winnings.

Comment #69

mightwin — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 21:50:59 GMT

this is from the delaware lottery website

How much is taken out of my winnings for Federal and State taxes?

For any prize of more than $5,000, the Lottery withholds 25% of your winnings for Federal tax. All winning Delaware Lottery tickets are subject to Delaware Income Tax. However, if you are not a Delaware resident, your state may tax your winnings.

Comment #68

maringoman — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 21:43:28 GMT

Either admin dpoly1 are right or you are right. On the USA MEGA jackpot analysis section it states that DE has no state taxes on lottery just like dpoly1 has pointed out but you disagree.

The Maryland winner has the benefit of complete anonymity. The winner of Florida has the benefit of not having to pay state taxes on this win. It would be nice to have both these benefits. Anybody know if there is a state that allows complete anonymity and also has no state taxes on lottery

mrcraft — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 17:55:59 GMT

Yeah, the last few rolls had disappointing increases. I think another factor is the fact that these large jackpots aren't rare anymore, it's almost like a once in every 3-month occurrence. If people missed out on this one, there's another big one sure to come along soon.

the Maryland: 8.75% State Tax , if they live in the state. OH. so there total will be 61,949,260 million ish. for them, give or take a few million demands on how you account the state tax credit to federal tax etc.
