Nice! I only had one line and won $20.00

7777 came in a couple of mid-days ago...of course I don't play pick 3 or 4...$1.76 + million in payout..not bad with an RNG game I guess

Did my thing again yesterday and played the same line five times with The PowrrPlay added. PowrrPlay number was 5. Because I had the PowrBall number on all five lines I won $100. Gotta live it! G5

Yeah, due to reduced ticket sales during these coronavirus days, the thought has definitely crossed my mind that they might not have enough money in the prize pool to pay out the full prize amount of 10 million dollars should I ever be so lucky. If that proved to be the case, I'm sure they'd actually do what the fine print says they can do.

Even though I'm in New York, I've been watching the FL Lottery's website every day for Florida Fantasy 5 results. (I was all set to spend April in Saraso... [ More ]

MsBee18, ! Probable special math would be used.

Interesting strategy G5. I will use that strategy on my next binge of Powerball tickets. 5 lines all the same, but with different PB numbers at the end. I'll add PowerPlay too. Thanks for sharing.

Regarding you or I winning $10,000,000 is debatable. With all the COVID-19 changes, low ticket sales, the lottery or state might not have the funds to cover all prizes

Here is a blurb from the FL lottery website: All non-jackpot prizes are set payouts. If funds are insufficient to pay set prizes,... [ More ]

Joe B is a man after my own heart.

I've done what he did many times. The only difference between what Joe B did and what I do is that I buy the same line five times on a single ticket and I add the Power Play. You read that right and you're correct, I'm completely crazy. It costs me a whopping 3 dollars per line to play the same set of five numbers five times on a single ticket. In effect, it costs me 15 dollars for one line.

But if I was as lucky as Joe B and matched five numbers, I'd win... [ More ]

Congrats to the Multiple Wins .

I noticed on one ticket he purchased one ticket at 8:45 a.m. at one location.

And the second at 5:46 p.m. at a different location.

No problem with that, I've bought my same tickets twice for one drawing as well on a mistake.

I wonder if he made a mistake? Or if it was planned to include the QP's? And taking the chance.

Hope it happens to ALL of us here on Lottery Post at least once in our lives

If I drove the 4+ hrs there and bought all the tickets before they ran out of rolled paper - I would end up shifting the whatever winner there was back to my town with my luck

Too bad the story doesn't say if it was intentional or a memory lapse. Either way, that is some phenomenal luck. Congrats to Joe B

Hey Unlucky-Kenny....why don't you buy some tickets in Fon-de-lac Wisconsin....isn't there an area called the Lucky or Golden Mile??? Then you can drop the Un

I've never heard of a guy buying 2 sets of the same PB ticket in a day - great for him - worked out and doubled that money

NICE!!!

There have been a few times I 'replayed' my same numbers by mistake and often WISHED this would happen to me

Awesome for him. The only thing different I would have done was use 2 different PB numbers. That's what I do if my purchase overlaps. Otherwise he is set.

Come on Joe B...is that the secret to winning the lottery? Here I thought QP was the way to go!

Big congratulations to him on this huge win X 2.

Nice! He turned $12 into $2 million. I bet he plans to replace that van for a newer one. Couldn't come at a better time.

Colorado man wins two $1 million lottery prizes on the same day

He's played the same numbers for 30 years

They say persistence is key, and after 30 years of playing the same numbers in the Colorado Lottery, a man in Pueblo, Colorado, found that to be true and finally got his big reward.

Two big rewards, that is.

The winner, identified as Joe B., won two major Powerball prizes on Wednesday, March 25 worth $1 million each. Joe B. claimed the winnings Friday.

The winning tickets were both sold to Joe B. on Lake Avenue in Pueblo: one at a 7-Eleven... [ More ]
