At the risk of being tarred and feathered for asking, does anyone know what state the lotto America jackpot was won in

l am willing to buy partly into your theory prince, but only if it makes some sense. However you saying that the players out here are idiots, refusing to pull the trigger as you put it win, we would rather waste our money in playing losing because we just like it. Our disposable income is similar to throwing coins in a fountain. On 2nd thought, perhaps we are hoping an outsider can pave the way to playing our State lottery win the Whole enchilada. I once again nominate you prince, to show us how... [ More ]

Well my theory is players in CA are losing on purpose to help grow a huge pot. It's a fairly smart strategy. Whoever decides to pull the trigger first and win at Will is going to take it all.

Knowing I beat this to the ground, but it doesn't affect you playing knowing it is a RNG game? Tipton not around to rig your Michigan Lottery...LOL. Would love for you to win sully16---though we may never know.

I am not writing about an annuity.

Then why are you using the annuity amount and not accounting for taxes?

Michigan doesn't seem to be interested in telling us what the cash value is, but if the payment schedule is similar to PB or MM it should be about $7.7 million. After taxes that would be a bit better than $4.5 million, or a bit better than $225k per year tax-free if you plan to keep it under your mattress and spend 5% per year for 20 years.

Lotto America went around a year without a win and was just one last night.

I am not writing about an annuity. I am describing how the winner/s can live on a budget for the next twenty years.

The annuity is actually over 30 years.

$11,350,000 / 30: $378,333.33 per year before taxes.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but they made that change when they went back to Classic Lotto 47. Only the instant games are 20-year annuities.

Thanks Lottery Post Staff for this story.

Please remember that $1,000,000.00 = $50,000.00 per year for 20 years.

This makes the Lotto 47 jackpot, $11.35 million = $567,500.00 per year for the next 20 years.

Winners must learn how to live on a budget.

Good Luck!

Michigan Lottery Commissioner Scott Bowen is waiting to welcome the winner/s and hand over a big check.

Too bad they don't care enough for their players to 'update' this from RNG to mechanical balls for the drawings.

Regular Lotto in most states are slow growers. Lottery games like Mega and Powerball grow like wild fire. It seems to me that playing regular lotto is better to play and win

By Todd Northrop

The Michigan Lottery's Lotto 47 jackpot hasn't been won in more than five months and has reached an extraordinary $11.7 million for the drawing on Saturday.

The last time a player in Michigan won the jackpot was in February when a $2.5 million jackpot winner was bought at the Uptown Bar, located at 8 West Front Street in Monroe.

The Lotto 47 jackpot hasn't been this large since Feb. 18, 2017, when a $22.55 million was won after more than 7 months of rollovers. The curre... [ More ]
