Panama woman wins $30 million Florida Lotto jackpot with online purchaseReply

He supposedly played online at their website, flew to Oregon and, was allowed to claim anonymously, due to safety concerns. The Oregon state lottery does not allow winners to collect anonymously. Oregon bending the rules for one person? I find this story hard to believe. It would be good to know if the website is indeed

New Powerball feature coming to some statesReply
If it costs $2 for one ticket and then $1 for Powerplay then what a $1 for Double play too. That is alot of money for no winnings because I play one or two lines usually and that is $8 to win nothing because I can go months without winning a single prize here in Oregon. I know that Oregon does not offer this option and I hope that it never comes here because I would be just making powerball rich and no winnings to show for it.-weshar75
