Congrats to George.

He seems like a guy who doesn't like change too much. Those were his numbers and he was gonna stick with them to the end. And luckily it paid off.

He reminds me of a guy I knew who was a lot like that. He did the same things every day, ate the same thing every day and never deviated from his routine. Wouldn't leave the small town he lived in, wouldn't try anything new.

I tried to get him to go for sushi or this or that or the other and he never would. He ate st... [ More ]

Wow...your idea makes perfect sense...why didn't I think of it.

Two PB drawings ago Indiana won $2 million. The store seemed familiar so looked it up...and of course that is where we play if we cross the river

I can think of a third reason. Maybe he wanted to disguise himself.

If it was me, I'd have worn a Coronavirus mask, sunglasses and a baseball hat.

There's no way any state lottery could ask you to remove the mask for the photo. G5

I can think of two reasons he is wearing a mask (big deal!) One, he could be immune issues, i.e. cancer pt, or other issues. Certainly hope not.

Two: Some places still require folks to wear a mask, and being private property that is their right. I'm leaning to MA lotto not up to date on CDC guidelines? Who knows?

This week the local health dept dropped their mask requirements, yet my former employer--healthcare, still requires them despite new rules from CDC today.

The big quest... [ More ]

Fantasy5 players in Florida do the same thing and it's pretty commonly done.

Two FF5 jackpot winners sold at the same store in Jupiter on 9/25/2022 and two jackpot winners sold in the same store in Davie on 9/23/2022.

Before that, two winners were sold in the same store in Clewiston on 8/11/2022.

It's happen four times in 2022 according to The Top Prize Winners and Retailers Information report available on The Florida Lottery's Fantasy5 web page.

I used to live in New York and pl... [ More ]

Reading more and more stories about players winning after purchasing multiple tickets using the same number combinations. Betting $10 on a pick 3 or pick 4 doesn't change the chance of winning and though much larger odds, it works on fixed payoff games too.

Hats off to George Morano for his patience and perseverance.

Why are people wearing a mask? If he is smart enough, he should invest in some of the money on either stocks or something else.

I'm very happy for him and I hope he enjoys his winnings. I've tried playing fixed sets of numbers for a long period of time and it never seemed to work.

In May, I often play the date of my wedding anniversary. One year, it won me $400. I still play it every year, hoping for the best.

The drive is about 1090 miles and driving should take about 18 hours.

I wonder how long it would take to drive from Nashville to Massachusetts

You have a valid point there since MA did not convert to RNG.

Grumpy Grouper (me) stopped getting subscriptions a few years ago. For one, the call center is in Georgia for what that is worth. They used to just charge for the UPS delivery which was OK with, then with the new call center it is 2% more probably for the credit card charge. For a few years now you cannot do subscriptions @ retailers anymore. Used to have my Brother but mainly friends get me what I wanted and mail it to me. So to

I've done the same for years but haven't had any luck. This is a very common strategy for people in Massachusetts. Mass lottery is the best out of all state lotteries. Highest percentage of pay out and chances. Hopefully my strategy pays off too lol

By Todd Northrop

Days after Lottery Post first reported on six top-prize-winning lottery tickets being sold at the same Massachusetts store, the lottery reported that all six plus one more that was purchased earlier as a season ticket have been claimed by one person, who has playing those same numbers for 30 years.

(See Six tickets each win $100,000 Mass Cash prize at the same store on the same day , Lottery Post , Sept. 21, 2022.)
