Perception is that lottery players are smart.LOL

We will see a $5 national game very soon. Powerball $2 ticket price set the standards for all drawing games.

Comment #58

THRIFTY — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:40:28 GMT

You have more losers than winners.LOL

Comment #57

THRIFTY — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:39:39 GMT

Your have better chances of winning MM and PB than Ohio classic lotto. Winning the lottery is a numbers game, the odds do not matter.

Buy a $10 Powerball lottery ticket.

Comment #55

THRIFTY — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:33:26 GMT

Mega millions can't compete with Powerball $2 ticket cost.

Comment #54

THRIFTY — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:31:39 GMT

Mega Millions is bating players into buying tickets at low jackpot levels.

Comment #53

THRIFTY — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:30:07 GMT

You are spending $1 instead of $10 per drawing.

Comment #52

THRIFTY — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:28:51 GMT

Play the Powerball lottery.

Comment #51

THRIFTY — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:26:54 GMT

Check your lottery tickets on the lottery website.

Comment #50

THRIFTY — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:25:16 GMT

You are spending $10 per drawing to get 3 numbers.

I usually go to the main source (i.e. megamillions-DOT-com or powerball-DOT-com), and they will usually have a story about what state the winner(s) are from. In this case, it was california, again.

Sorry, this was in reply to someone asking a question of where to find what state the winner came from. The 'quote' function didn't work like I thought it would.

Dont need one there's a dozen apps out there that will give you lottery results, or you can just pull up the webpage in your phone's browser

Why in gods name would you take a $20 million dollar ticket to the store and risk it! There are many ways to check your ticket in private are you kidding me! How dumb can you be I guess ppl want to get robbed

Congrats to the winners! Stay level headed! It's a good win, but small enough to disappear with poor planning.

Hopefully I'll join the ranks of lucky winners one day soon

noise-gate — Sun, 06 Apr 2014 00:16:41 GMT

Those are scary words M- the odds are in the stratosphere as it is - what changes do you expect to see- perhaps MM jacking the odds into the 350 mil to 1 odds

They will probably increase the megaball from 1-15 to 1-35, which will completely throw everything out of whack. Greedy 4kers.

I only bought 2 PB tickets again, we'll see if I get 3 numbers again as always...hehehe

Good luck to all who are playing tonight! I am skipping PB and Mega Million as I am participating in the Ohio Classic Lotto for the next 9 drawings. I am well aware that the likelihood of winning is zilch but hey I can dream

Yay! PB day today...good luck to all, including me...hehehehe

Yessir! I love it too. MM will have to introduce changes to price or matrix soon if this keeps happening so often.

Where can I find here which state won

DC81 — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 09:15:19 GMT

Love it when people win low jackpots after the insane change in odds. Just like with Powerball, MegaMillions is going to learn why Powerball readjusted theirs after a year or two.

Comment #18

zirabamuzaale — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 05:19:56 GMT

That is quite impressive. Despite my 11 wins since the new MM matrix went into effect, almost half -a-year ago (six months , to be precise), I have only managed to match two winning numbers, including tonight.

Comment #17

zirabamuzaale — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 05:15:38 GMT

Good advice. I often know how much I have won before handing my ticket to the store clerk and I often sign my winning lotto tickets in ink

That's right, didn't think 'bout that. Somebody won the MM JP. I'll get the PB...I hope...hehehehe

Marilyn222 — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 04:16:14 GMT

Yeah, I wish there's a phone that could scan lottery numbers. Good idea.

Comment #8

mypiemaster — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 04:12:19 GMT

Just give us a scanner that tells us exactly how much we won, that way we don't have to hand over our tickets to the clerk, instead of the 4king scanner, that flashes BIG WINNER . These tightwads are part of the problem.

Comment #7

Marilyn222 — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 03:17:15 GMT

The MM result is out. I hate it!...I always get just 3 numbers all the time...2 numbers and the MB. Anyway not bad for $2 tickets.

So there are scanners out there that will tell you the amount over $500 much less tell you to the exact million what you won.

All the big lottery winners say This big win is not going to change my life! , Bull shi* , he will be broke in just a few years, that's my prediction.

maringoman — Fri, 04 Apr 2014 21:45:04 GMT

It's a good thing that we have store clerks that can be trusted. I say sign your tickets in ink if you are going to hand them over to someone else to check or confirm that they are winners. Trust but verify.

$20M Mega Millions winner didn't believe lottery scanner

Lottery Post — Fri, 04 Apr 2014 20:25:06 GMT

A lottery player scanned his tickets at a Shirley, New York, convenience store called JackSpot! and when the screen flashed BIG WINNER, he told the cashier, The machine is broken.

But it wasn't he was holding the $20-million Mega Millions ticket, the mystery jackpot winner sought by the New York State Lottery since the March 25 drawing, said convenience store co-owner Howie Frank and cashier Laura Marckesano.

He's not catching what I'm saying, said Marckesano, who scanned the ticket twic... [ More ]
