I was just watching Yolanda award the big Power Ball winner.It was sad the guy after all taxes and crap .The guy banked only $125,396,690.00 from $343,000,000.00 with 2 winners starting at $688,000,000.00,...sad the taxman sucks.

No, it's evidence of the fact that millions of people live in New York, many of whom play the lottery.

If you could convince every single person in Nebraska to spend every dollar they have on the lottery, Nebraska would be beating NY in lottery winner count.

3 people winning is proof the NY lottery is too easy? I think the NY lottery is one of the better ones in the US since they use physical balls for all their drawings.

The store that sold the $11.6 mil NY Lotto ticket is a store where I buy my tickets.

Too bad it wasn't me, but like they say... there's always next time!

I wonder why the $10 mil ticket netted more than the $11.6 mil ticket.
