There was a lady in GA that hit 0000 for a $100 wager =$500,000. Only reason I heard about it was because she gave away 5 winning tickets at the claims office.

My state (Wisconsin) is not anonymous, virus or no virus that's how I m showing up if I ever have a Big Win.

It would be nice if Todd had LP face mask made for members to purchase

I'd love it if he were the million dollar winner on PB last night from Virginia. Then he could wear sunglasses.

For what it is worth VA lottery was emailed this morning about their spelling error. Where they are located they just wouldn't know.

Today being my Birthday folks mailed me lottery tickets and bought some today with money from one friend as well as on-line too.

How much is a pick 4 ticket

Comment #18

grwurston — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 03:56:16 GMT

Exactly one week later, Sat. Dec. 12, the Virginia Pick 4 evening drawing was 1743.

I wonder if he kept it in

Comment #17

ohiopick3 — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 01:19:48 GMT

Probably, true. But probably only if he claimed one ticket every 2 days estimated if winning tickets expire after 180 days?

He's better off what he did. End of year, taxes are taken care of and the rest is pure enjoyment !

Congrats, to a very brave player!

The only thing I was thinking is if he played at least a $1 boxed on that number to get his money back?

Just in case . But from his results, it would not have mattered.

WOW, what a play

l just had a feeling, Cross said.

He just went for it, kinda like the old saying snip the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

Absolutely right on the street name! The Virginia Lottery published the wrong spelling for the street. I actually should have caught it, because I worked in Rosslyn many years ago, and have traveled that street too many times to count.

Super win...so happy for him. Wish I and others on LP would get a 'whim'.

Now for my little gripe about the article on a misspelled word. I was stationed @ Ft. MYER (not Meyer) in Arlington, Virginia 1980-1982 (The Old Guard). Yeah baby, a Medic in the Presidential Unit way back when.

Now, i am hoping my old CALIFORNIA office locker # 7134 or 7314 let it come down here to NC tonight or this week please!!! I been waiting, and i am hopeful before year is out or 3 more long months of winter 4 it to hit! Interesting, i play that usually daily.

Love he won, PLEASE INVEST it, become rich off of it, or at least make some more cash $$$ if investment is a prudent one. CONGRATS... Better playing yep PICK 4's than other games ... I love winning multiple x on one drawing.

See Virginia for rules.

I know in TX we can remain anomalous so maybe in VA they have to take photos and so forth. I've had some nice Pick 4 wins and I know others in TX that have as well.

Just like https://www.lotterypost.com/news/325898 and https://www.lotterypost.com/news/334542 . Do these sorts of Pick 4 wins happen in other states besides Virginia, or is it just that Virginia Lottery publicizes their winners more than other states do? Or is it that other states put a cap on the number of each combo that can be sold and VA doesn't? CA, NY, TX, and FL all have more than double the population of VA, but I've never come across a Pick 4 story like this out of one of those states.... [ More ]

I saw an address in a TV show, in the background, and for some reason it stayed with me, Cross said in a press release. I just had a feeling.

Phenomenal outcome is a result of just a feeling

By Kate Northrop

It's not unheard of for players to try and increase their potential winnings by buying identical tickets for one drawing. One player took that strategy to the extreme, turning heads when he won a whopping $800,000 with 160 lottery tickets in the same Pick 4 drawing.

It is absolutely stunning most Pick 4 players would jump for joy at the prospect of winning just one $5,000 jackpot alone. Kwame Cross of Dumfries is now exp... [ More ]
