As a rookie lottery player, I thought, WOW! Winning is so easy! I will share my cash with family. I had to go back and revoke all my promises. I had to eat crow.

I now keep my big mouth shut like Jackie Gleason would say, My Big Mouth . Ralph and Alice Kramden in the Honeymooners. I can watch those on YouTube.

Read somewhere that winning the lottery is hard, keeping your mouth shut about it is harder, but all the best to you

All l can say Stack is Wow - you show up with just the barcode to your ticket you collect? I am going to go out on a limb, and say l doubt the Californian lottery will pay out for that.These guys out here are hardshelled. A couple of years ago, the lottery posted a picture of a guy purchasing a winning ticket, which was about to expire.

The winner was alerted when his face was posted on TV, so he shows up and they ask him where is the ticket? The guy says he tried looking for it, but to no av... [ More ]

I read on a news website that the guy who won this jackpot went back to work to the same job as a construction worker. I do not think I would do that with $245 million big ones.-weshar75

Some people are demanding anonymity while others can't hardly wait for the next how I discovered I won story. Because of the size of their matrix, there are statistical probabilities both MM and PB will create huge jackpots and probably have just one winning ticket. \

And it doesn't have to be just huge jackpot winning tickets. I had a $14 winning pick-4 ticket that somehow fell on the floor and my dog ate half of it. The good news was she... [ More ]

Most everyone who wins the jackpot, has a fantastic story to tell, as to how they discovered that they had won the jackpot.Some stories are better than others.. for instance!

So,you purchase your tickets because the jackpot is Big then leave them on the table for a week. The other doozy that comes to mind is: Having the winning ticket used in a Christmas tree decoration...until it was check. I wish LP compiled a list of Strange tales involving winning lottery tickets - what a read, that would... [ More ]

Congratulations Nandlall Mangal!! I believe that his lawyer standing behind him is Jason Kurland. The famous lottery lawyer. Money well spent on legal advice and general lottery info.

I checked my records and found that the Cash Lump Sum that a Californian would have won was $93,000,000.00 California does not charge State taxes on lottery winnings. New York has the highest taxes on lottery winnings. According to USAMEGA N.Y. State = 8.82% City = 3.876% Yonkers = 3.23%

He left the ticket on his kitchen table for a week while he was out of town! He was lucky he wasn't broken into during that time. Easy grab for a thief. I keep my tickets safe. Jeez, $100million, that's a real nice win. That should last him his whole life time. It would me.
