Time is up! Someone just lost out on a cool million dollars. Actually, after taxes, it would have been less than $600,000.00.

Somehow this story resonated with me with that guy in Northern NJ who had a MM or PB jackpot winner. Signed it and tossed it into the mail like the last day. It was honored, but personally would have driven to Trenton with ticket in tow.

I know this is not the place for this but i need help from Todd and nice people here.

I used to play Hot Lotto till Tipton fiasco. Now it's Lotto America which they promised Machine Draw ball .

But i can't seems to find the draws anywhere online. No video of a single draw anywhere. So why MUSL put up a video on their website like how Luckyforlife does on their website. If powerball draw video is online why not LOTTO AMERICA.

Or they are still using the RNG is that why they don't show an... [ More ]

Time to check the glove box or the many places you could inadvertently place and forgot about a ticket.

Although I can't speak to the winner in this case, I can give an example of how this might happen from personal experience.

Last week I brought two FL Lucky Money (i.e. Powerball-lite) tickets to claim at a grocery store. One ticket was a $3 winner the other ticket was a winner for a free ticket. The cashier cashed both tickets and asked me if I wanted the $3. I asked for more tickets. I completely forgot about the free ticket that printed out at the terminal. The cashier gave me the new tick... [ More ]

For record-breaking Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots, I kind of understand the lackadaisical mentality. Spending a few dollars for a dream with no real intent of winning.

However, for regular size jackpot drawings, I don't understand it. And even less so yet for Cash4Life, which has a set top prize that doesn't grow along with very easy to win lower tier prizes. Why would anyone buy a ticket for such a game and not check it. Doesn't make sense.

In this instance, if the winner never com... [ More ]

Two weeks after putting out a call for the holder of a soon-to-expire unclaimed $1 million ticket to step forward, New Jersey Lottery officials made one last plea Tuesday morning.

The second-prize Cash4Life ticket sold in New Jersey will be worthless if it's not claimed in the next three days. It expires when the New Jersey Lottery's offices close for the weekend at 4:30 p.m. Friday.

Sold at the Joyce Kilmer along the New Jersey Turnpike in East Brunswick last year, the lucky ticket matche... [ More ]
