Tickets for updated Mega Millions game on sale SaturdayReply
Oct 22, 2013: 2-3-19-52-71, and the Mega Ball is 14. The Megaplier number is 5. Drawing host John Crow SAID the Megaplier was 5 prior to the numbers being drawn; there was no graphic on the screen for this. Usually, there is. Drawing host John Crow said 17 when the ball came out of the globe, but said 71 when recapping the numbers at the conclusion of the drawing. He never said 'sorry' or 'correction.' I think his brain couldn't wrap itself around the idea that there could be a 71 in th

$500 MILLION: Powerball jackpot increased to a half-billion dollarsReply
Wowzers! I purchased my tickets this morning before the increase. While in the car, I was listening to a local radio morning show and of course they were talking about the PB jackpot. The hosts were listing items that you can buy for $1(burger from McDonalds, a pack of gum, etc.) and then he said you can buy a PB ticket for $1. A listener emailed the show with the correction that stated the PB was $2 without the megaplier....but $3 with it. One of ladies on the show then asked, What's the me

Florida Lottery Raffle drawing crowns 7 new millionairesReply
No, I believe the misunderstanding is yours truecritic. The statement made by justexploring was: It took me a while to figure out what you meant by this post. I was looking at the local newspaper and the Florida website. You are referring to the results on Lottery Post I guess. Any human being with a basic understanding in language would take this to mean that both the local newspaper and the Florida web site have the results displayed in a different manner than Lottery Post. That is

Some lottery winners missing their jackpotsReply
The story called it a happy ending but someone died in there. The guy reading the paper didn't have such a happy ending. I caught that too. Poor choice of words I guess. You won 5/5 ?? Then you won a pick-4 straight? Good job! Although people on this board always say don't tell anyone when you win this article is why I think it's important to trust at least one person. I mean, what if I put the ticket in a safe deposit box and while I was making plans to move, got into a

Connecticut lawmaker may request hearings over costly drawing errorReply
Start your ticket numbering at 1 . That would probably be a really simple fix on the lottery's end, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that some players feel that a ticket with the number 1, or 101 is somehow different than a ticket with the number 100001 or 100101. Maybe that could be solved by making the first ticket 000001, but I've got a suspicion that a lot of players will sill feel that a ticket with a bunch of leading zeros is somehow less worthy than one that starts with a real
