We've been officially scammed! I hope an independent indepth investigation is launched! California held back and delayed the drawing and California single ticket wins?

Cmon man

KY Floyd — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 15:12:00 GMT

only one birthday number in the white balls again... are we rolling?

If theposted numbers are accurate the cash increased by $215 million and that means they sold roughly 330 million tickets. That would be the most for the entire run despite being for a Monday drawing. It also means they sold about 2/3 of the combinations, with the chance of single winner at 36.5%, two winners at 20.6%, and 3 winners at 7.8%.

Drawing's up on the YouTube channel: 10 33 41 47 56 PB 10

Final JP: $2.04b

Video uploaded at 9:07est / 6:07pst (roughly, it just does that YouTube thing of 32 minutes ago)

ETA: only one birthday number in the white balls again... are we rolling

I'm so sorry I have deeply offended you, Don Lemon. Instead of rehashing old news, maybe you should stick to covering mostly peaceful protests. Good luck in all of your future endeavors.

Comment #162

Bleudog101 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 11:19:25 GMT

Speak for yourself. I had no knowledge that CA stopped the drawing because of a security issue of an unnamed state.

What does your Faux news say about this

Nikkicute — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 11:13:05 GMT

In that case ALL of Mondays tickets are valid for Wednesday's draw!

Good morning, Don Lemon. Thank you for visiting all of us on this site. I hate to break the real news to you, but the CNN article you're trying to get everybody to go read just rehashes everything we already know so far.

CDanaT — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 10:28:46 GMT

Perhaps they can just cancel the drawing and do it on Wednesday. You know..to boost confidence and reassure us naive participants...After all, has the $40 Million Dollar restart happened since the houseplant declared COVID was over?

Don't worry, it's all good.

Nah, I think someone hightailed it with the moola and is living la vita loca somewhere LOL!! Seriously I am sure they are being stringent in following the rules for the draw and being careful. Hang tight. Its not like you can immediately cash in that ticket at 3 AM

This sounds like a whole lot... to me

Comment #147

judah — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 08:13:47 GMT

Sounds like a state hasn't verified their ticket sales numbers apparently if the count is off by one ticket someone is able to take the numbers to a machine select them and if they know how to hack the machine to make the time stamp correct you can claim the ticket as a legitimate win quite the loophole indeed .

Comment #146

Stack47 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 08:13:17 GMT

required security protocols

It now four hours and still counting. We'll probably never hear what really cause the problem. Bet their excuse will be a doozie and people will still continue to play.

I feel bad for the players that purchased some of the 175.7 million tickets with combos that won't match a number that stayed up waiting for the results.

Seems fishy at this point of the night. It's 2 am and no drawing yet. I'm willing to bet someone is going to win and it will be from a state that you can claim anonymously

Comment #139

tvboris — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 06:51:54 GMT

Wait. I got it. Somebody is still printing those 292mm combos and asked to wait for a bit till he is finished.

They keep receiving new tickets and can't close the count according to the their protocols.

Agree. I bought 3 to 5 lines on the last 3 games as the jackpot was building but tonight I said, Nah, not going to drop any more money on this. I'm not a fan of $3 per line @ 3 times a week. I can appreciate that MegaMillions is only twice a week.

Comment #128

JAMORA — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 05:33:37 GMT

Absurd at this point. For anyone pouring money into this, I hope you can afford too.

I had to remind my partner, that the odds didn't increase with the jackpot....lol.

I don't really want to deal with this kind of insane money, or the stress it would bring.

A few million and I'm happy.

Any PB state that had a problem with their terminals not closing before the drawing could create 100s of winning tickets. Or something like that.

Tonight s drawing has been delayed due to a technical difficulty. It is unknown when the drawing will take place.

judah — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 04:30:38 GMT

MUSL I assume all of them have the same protocols to insure continuity across all 45 states sales data etc .The actual hardware is located in Tallahassee in a secure vault that only be accessed by (quad control) 4 people have to sign and put their part of the vault combination into the lock in order to open the vault .They are even stricter than the Federal Reserve which only requires everything to be under dual control.Its a harder game to rig because the balls are weighed before each drawing a...

Funny, several locations in New York were telling me that their lottery machine is not working. I don't know exactly which machine, a terminal or a printer. They didn't tell.

So I had to ride to others to get my tickets.

Wow, who would have thought, TWO BILLION DOLLARS!!!

I just want everyone to know not to get disappointed this evening, if you watch the drawing live, or be it tomorrow when your checking online, or perhaps if your still a bit old fashion you check your numbers in the printed newspaper. It is not going to matter to all those who purchased tickets the past few months.

The reason why, is there is going to be only 1 winner. THAT WILL BE ME

kao1632 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 00:34:29 GMT

No. It is $584 m to win $929.1 million (less federal tax) giving

$585,370,045 after fed tax (but before state tax)

Leaving you with $1,379,045 in the hand (if your state doesn't tax any of it...)

You will, of course, also be winning something like $69 m in second div (less tax) plus other prizes

So you wouldn't be completely out of pocket..

Unless there are 2 or more winning tickets.. Then you have lost big time..

TheMeatman2005 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 00:31:53 GMT

There are some states that don't tax lottery winnings, but you still have to pay Uncle Sam (I.R.S.) their share.

tvboris — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 23:31:52 GMT

If you have funds to cover 25% of tickets, than it still doesn't make sense.

I'll skip the part whether can physically do it.

But the thing is, that if you have enough funds to cover 25% or even 10% , why the hell would you even play lottery. You have plenty of money to live the happiest life.

If that was on the borrowed money, well, I suggest to run away with them. Still the chance is higher not being caught.

Comment #94

Definitely not worth the hassle and risk. But what if you covered just 25% of combinations? Decent chance you would come out ahead.

TwoMillion — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 22:51:05 GMT

just an observation,

someone is rich like Goldman Sach could spend $292 million to buy all the possible combinations.

let's assume Goldman Sach paid someone to create a printer that can fill in the ovals on the powerball slip.

then assume the gas station attendant(s) could process the slips at the rate of 1 / minutes, then it'd take that gas station 9 years to complete the purchase of 292,200,000 tickets

Goldman Sach could distribute the slips to 50 people, and go to 50 different... [ More ]

.. .. So far, the best winning combination for me was one that I played last week. One of my nephews had come up with it before he became a victim of some senseless teenage violence last summer.

Although he wasn't even old enough to legally play, he really thought that he could win. We'll see....

The Texas Lottery Projected Jackpot info just came out.....

Today's Jackpot currently is at $1.977B. 54.5% of all combinations are covered at that amount. If it rolls to Wed, 11/9, the new Jackpot will be $2.3B.

I think it definitely goes to $2B or a little higher today. Need it to be $2.05B for a $1B cash option.

This is the 41st drawing since 8/6/22.

I played 6 LP quick picks on Powerball over the weekend and 1 matched the Powerball, 1 matched 2 numbers, and another matched 1.

I'm doing a little study on LP vs Terminal quick picks for Powerball and hope to have the results soon.
