Saying that a person beat the odds, sounds incorrect, since the math is true. 1 person out of hundred of millions that played has won.

Mutual Funds are boring but safe.

Your list should include not believing everything salespeople tell you. Investing in mutual funds is no different than any other investment in financial markets. The only advantages they offer are that they make it easy to put a lot of eggs in your basket, and some are no load funds (of course they still pay themselves by taking a chunk of the earnings). There's nothing magical about being a mutual fund that makes the individual investments any better or any... [ More ]

I will not be at the Lottery Office the next day. I need time to get my ducks in a row. I will store my ticket in a safe deposit box.

Some want the money spread among several winners. They forgot MUSL tried that with the Monopoly game. We saw how that worked out.

Almost every draw there are second prize winners winning at least $1 million.

I just went through USA Mega and counted a total of 333 second prize PB and MM winners for the year. Already 53 for the first 9 days of July thanks to the MM jackpot run.

I didn't count how many were megaplied or powerplayed (plus CA doesn't have those).

Would anybody turn down at least a million dollars

rcbbuckeye — Mon, 11 Jul 2016 14:59:18 GMT

It's not only possible, it's probable. Why? Well....... there are over 258 MILLION reasons.

I play several games here in Tx including MM and PB. I would be happy with a Tx 2 Step win, although I couldn't retire on it. But, with MM and PB, I could retire on second prize. And that's why it's worth it for me to play.

This is the only 2nd Mega Millions jackpot sold in Indiana, however Indiana still has the most PB wins in the nation (38) mostly thanks to how we were the only state in the area with Powerball back in the day.

I think it was in the 80's.

I wasn't really a lottery player, but, I played the big game in Illinois.

It was a big hype about it , like recently in Power ball and Mega millions.

I had 3 or 4 numbers, I think I won $10, or something like that, lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo, me and 33,333 other people.

I thought , because of the amount of the Jackpot, I would win more?

After that, I was over the big games, lmaoooooooooooooooooooo.

Good Luck.

dr65 — Mon, 11 Jul 2016 05:25:18 GMT

I agree with you Needy...the odds are awful but for how high this JP was and how

many tickets must have been sold, to have one winner is grounds for not playing.

$1 with all the hype isn't worth it. I noticed on some ads for lottery on radio stations

here in PA curiously were missing the: if you or someone you know has a gambling

problem, call xxxxx. I thought about this and at the time the PA raffle was falling short

I was kinda annoyed to see 1 person win the jackpot too, but I have my doubts about the whole thing.

me personally, having done lots of research on these draw games (not saying it's fact, but just based on what I've read), I think it's absolute bull snip that 1 ticket won. When you look at the number of tickets that won $1 or $2 prizes (not including the losers, like the 2 I bought which matched 2 of the winning numbers on different lines)...it was 7 MILLION TICKETS that made $1.

If players only wanted $1 or $2 million then they would certainly only play in state games and not waste their time or money on the MSUL but the fact is most everyone is greedy and simply wants more in order to live a certain lifestyle while having the freedom to help those THEY choose.

Not to change the subject, but NJ won $1 million on Powerball last night. That is definitely becoming a 'can't lose state'. California had five #'s, but player got ripped off over $600K due to paramutuel requirement.

I am staring at the figure of Indiana on that Cambridge City sign. It looks like someone bit the lower half of the State off like a candy bar would be eaten.

I just searched Indiana lottery winners and there is a picture of a badger. The Hoosier State is badger country.

Saylorgirl, according to Wikipedia, Cambridge City is only 1sq mile in size and the population is only 1,870 (as of 2010).

Cambridge City is about 56 miles east of Indianapolis, IN (1hr dirve).

Definitely a throw back to the good Ole days.

it'll probably be changed again

then we'll see a once a year win with 1B jackpots being the new normal

of course if they do that they'll have to make the lesser prizes bigger to hold people's interest

Comment #69

golfer1960 — Sun, 10 Jul 2016 02:20:07 GMT

I have an observation to share. In 2015 there were a lot more jackpots hit.

For example:

As of July 8th, 2016 there have only been 6 MUSL jackpots hit (3MM and 3PB).

As of July 4th, 2015 there were 13 MUSL jackpots won (4MM and 9PB).

The reason less PB winners? Because Powerball changed their Matrix on 10/7/15 to make larger jackpots and make it harder to win.

Collectively there were 20 MUSL jackpots hit in 2015 (8MM and 12PB).

I guess Powerball is realizing their dream of less... [ More ]

No one on this site, if they found themselves in the circumstances of the winner, would claim a million only, and tell the lottery commission divide the rest among those who only need $1 Million.

If you are mad that it does not get spread out more often...

Maybe petition the lottery commission to set it up that way (I won't sign it...) OR, just DON'T play at all.

No, no, no! They knew that we were on to them so they let another state win. Where the fix was in this time was the 2nd prize level on down. They knew that there would be a lot of 2nd place and lower winners so They asked Eddie to make it a 2x for the megaplyer instead of a 5x so they could save several million on the lower prizes.

I am pretty sure I will check them before a month is out, but might as well dream for awhile

Congrats to the lucky winner in Indiana! Well, I guess here comes my break from playing lottery until the Mega gets $250mil again in 25 1/2 years or so... or until Powerball (expensive) gets to the $400 mil+ range.

Ms. SaylorGirl,

If it was you, I don't know what to say, except 'NICE HIT!'.

If it was you, please realize that billions of folks wish they could be in your place.

I hope you do the right thing, and do the Lawyer and Financial Adviser thing.

Mr. Groppo

I wouldn't check them yet if I were you. Hide your tickets in a safe place and wait to see if there is any commotion in your area. This will allow you to dream what if....

Taxes are not included as a determining factor of the largest cash payouts. If the cash option is selected by the winner, this indeed is the largest cash payout to a single ticket in history, beating the old record by around $100,000.

Indiana state tax knocks down the 380 cash value below Gloria's 370. Thus, she remains the undefeated champ by a close margin.

I checked the winners page on both MM PB, doesn't appear to be much jack pot wins for indiana, so on that note I guess congrats are in order. I will revoke my congrats if the winner is from an often winning state.
