If the winner was bought in Phildelphia and you said Philly instead of Pennsylavania I'm thinking the cosmos was channeling through you

Granted I meant Pennsylvania I knew one of the three would win. Surprised the winning numbers were so high I wasn't expecting that at all. But anyways congrats to all the winners se you all again 20 draws from now ;D

Thanks for the tip, never would have found it. As mentioned in a previous post I called MUSL and told them how awful the new site was and she said they're 'working on it' but wouldn't be that week. The improved website is anything but that.

Could be, just not able to purchase in Puerto Rico (yet), only Powerball.

There was one $455 million Jackpot Winner from Pennsylvania in the Saturday, March 17, 2018 Powerball drawing.

And: 3 lucky players matched the first 5 numbers for a $1,000,000 prize: 1 from California, 1 from Missouri, and 1 from Texas (with Power Play).

I had forgotten and had to look around a bit to find where that was kept. You are right,it does s*ck compared to the old site.

Maybe it was Dpoly....

Todd sure is right about that new site being the pits. They used to scroll the winner right under the results........I had to dog and go to Media Center to find it.

MD lotto site kind of a pain, but found how to play. You can play up to 15 drawings. It said to put it on a playslip. Same I believe for PB, only checked MM how to play. I hear your aggravation, especially when you know what you're talking about and they don't.

Comment #53

Bleudog101 — Sat, 17 Mar 2018 12:51:54 GMT

Good luck playing MM in Puerto Rico...it is not offered there. Suppose someone could 'hop' on over to the US Virgin Islands and play it there. Powerball is offered in both and Puerto Rico has won @ least one time that I can recall.

How about calling the Bolivian Army, The Force . Butch Sundance went out in glory.

Sharing the jackpots may be what will happen. More than one winning ticket.

Mavis Wanchek won $775 million all by herself.

Comment #50

noise-gate — Fri, 16 Mar 2018 21:25:37 GMT

Right now, l personally don t need the jackpot to be 1/2 Billion. I have a sharp enough knife to divvy up that pie into many small pieces to go around to loved ones very close close friends and those in desperate need.While leaving a sizable chunk in place to do my personal running around.

It ends here : Famous last words of Butch Cassidy The Sundance Kid vs the Bolivian Army.

Eddie Tipton vs the MUSL.

Power Ball will be up to $500,000,000.00

If there was a decent chance that it was going to even come close to 500 we probably would have see an increase by the time you posted. Now it's Friday afternoon and they haven't even bumped it up by 5 or 10 million.

There's still a chance they may bump things a bit, but as of now $500 million (299.9 cash) is what we'll see if it rolls again.

TheMeatman2005 — Fri, 16 Mar 2018 10:42:37 GMT

The closest I have come to winning was back in Dec 2014.

I purchased a $5 (5 lines) MM quick-pick and had all six winning numbers on the ticket. Just not all 6 on the same line. I had the MM # on first line, one of the 5 numbers on second line and 4 of the 5 on fourth line.

I won $501.

Comment #38

TheMeatman2005 — Fri, 16 Mar 2018 10:33:12 GMT

First off... why are a lot of you using big size fonts? Are we getting that old that we cant read smaller fonts anymore? Time for stronger glasses?

OK, now that that's out of the way, I purchase one Mega and one PB ticket for every draw since as we all know.... You have to be in it to win it.

Today, I think I will purchase two tickets for each MM PB and I will be adding the multiplier to each ticket. and, they will both be quick-picks.

On Tuesday, my kid bought 1 each qp MM PB and won... [ More ]

I just took a trip to MD to buy some tickets lol I wasn't really doing anything and I felt like cruising. Does MD lottery not provide future plays.... I asked the young pretty woman that worked their if I could purchase a ticket for Wednesday and she looked at me like i was stupid

I remember some time last year I drove like over 2 hrs to PA (from N. Virginia) to buy a few PB tickets and didn't win anything. Spent like $30+ too. I will never do that again

I work in DC and take metro home so almost always buy my tickets in DC. Already have my betting slips filled out! Going crazy and buying 2 pb tickets. Lol The jp should be half a billion by Saturday. MD is the best choice but not ever convenient for me.

I plan to pick up some tickets from MD I would loop through DC on my way home but its just so crowded trying to drive through there.

Much like a cup of coffee rcb, you have to pour enough milk in to turn it from black or brown- perhaps those transplants are not thinning the Red enough, or they were just passing through CA didn t carry enough of our pixie dust to deposit in your fair State. l was surprised to read that you guys have only won once. Lightning will strike for you guys when the time is ripe. We all in the hoping its me pool no one has the edge, when all is said and done.

Thank You, rcbbuckeye for accepting the snowflakes and transplants from CA. Maybe a little bit of Conservatism will rub off on them.

Let us see Texas in the winner's column this weekend. Don't mess with Texas.

Comment #24

Well, we have our share of snowflakes in this state. Dallas, Austin, and Houston.

Not proud of that. Probably transplants from CA.

No, no, nope. After looking at those top 25 jackpots and there has only been 1 winner from Texas ?

We are gonna have to put the cure to that lil issue this weekend !!! even that slice a pizza lookin'-state New Hampster has had 2 of the top 10 winners.....

We are putting the Habius Grabus on that, right shortly I reckon...either Rcbbuckeye and/or myself have planned on taking 1 of these big prizes home with us---MAYBE BOTH !

Florida-Water.

Why has Indiana been so lucky in the past? Is it something in their water? LOL.

We must stop this lucky streak.

Comment #16

paymentplan-man — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 16:57:37 GMT

LOL it's just that I don't really like playing multiple games at once, try to stick to PB only but when it gets super high (which it usually doesn't) I always hear that voice calling out *play me, play me*. Also I agree with CA second price crap and having to split it with multiple wins although i guess sharing is caring ;D. Im really thinking Indiana is going to win the whole pot

Comment #15

noise-gate — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 16:51:47 GMT

CA does not like 2nd prize jackpots. That rumor you heard of,is false. So you don t play until it s in the stratosphere? All other players have to pitch in their hard earned $$ to built it up for you? Talk about a selfish P..

Comment #14

paymentplan-man — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 16:49:59 GMT

Yeah lottery pools would freak me out ....I've seen too many shady people to count in my life time. Not to mention the people who don't play that will be wanting in as soon as you win big smh but hopefully your pool is nothing of the sort ;D

paymentplan-man — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 16:40:54 GMT

California will have 3 second prize winners. The bigger question is when do you all think we will see a winner Im thinking the 21st or the 28th (power ball). I don't really play mega too much but if it reaches 450M I'll succumb.

Bleudog101 — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 16:25:31 GMT

Just need to get some Indiana tickets!

Finally got MUSL's correct phone #. Not happy with the new PB website not having secondary prizes listed anymore. They must be aware because Kathy said we were working on it but it won't be this week

I hear you noise-gate. S. Lake Tahoe tickets still good until 4 APR 18.

Lottery fever is spreading across the USA with two huge jackpots adding up to $800 million.

The ability to walk into a lottery retailer and purchase two separate opportunities to win nearly a half-billion dollars is unprecedented. This is only the second time in history that two US lottery games have combined to $800 million or more.

Powerball grew overnight to $455 million for Saturday's drawing. Meanwhile Friday's Mega Millions jackpot stands at $345 million its highe... [ More ]
