Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
Add that to my long list of why I have no interest in casinos. I do not want to see sad people gambling their life away vs playing for fun and entertainment. Casinos are not close and convenient for most people. People with gambling issues are being enticed daily with a poor economy and inflation. I think it was meant to be protective of the general public. I am not a big brother fan but people seem to get easily addicted to those machines. The store owner can still sell lottery tickets. I

Florida man arrested after buying $31,000 worth of lottery tickets using company credit cardReply
Same here . In my state(Louisiana), it is not legal to buy lottery tickets with a credit card. Is it legal in Florida? Did he win any big prizes or was he sending in large numbers of tickets for second chance drawings? I don't feel bad for him since he stole from his employer and used a credit card which could be easily traced. He'll be locked away for a while.

Mississippi Lottery passes $2 billion in gross salesReply
Many Alabamians are participating and contributing to the budgets of neighboring states. On any given day, if you drive up to Tennessee, down to Florida, or over to Georgia, you can find Alabamians waiting in line to purchase lottery tickets. DON'T LET THE PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD!

$925 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
I think we're going to be looking at a new record. Annuity rates are high and sales are low. I think it could go the distance. Normies look at the annuity only anyways... People really do not understand how lottery tickets work. 2.5 bil advertised, 1.2 bil cash. Single winner. GA or TN. Scratch that FL or CA I'd love to see Ole California Edwin win it again and buy more Hollywood mansions. Maybe with his newfound wealth he could travel east and purchase the Biltmore.

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
Of course, the above is all conjecture/speculation on my part. I have absolutely no idea of what actually happened. One thing is for sure though, and that's that the Jacksonville doctor somehow became known to The Florida Lottery. The only way they could have gotten his name and address is if he gave it to them. Another thing that I've thought about is this - I would think that most doctors aren't inclined to buy lottery tickets. Of course the Jacksonville doctor could be an exception to

New York woman says she was winner of unclaimed $12 million Lotto jackpot from 1992News Story
It was a comedy of errors. By Kate Northrop A New York woman has revealed that she was the winner of a $12 million Lotto jackpot that was never claimed in 1992. A lottery jackpot on the verge of expiring prompts many players to rifle through their drawers or shuffle the contents of their car glovebox around, searching for that fateful ticket that could change their life forever. For one New York woman, however, she knew she had won even before checking her own ticket, but at that po

$925 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
They took the cash option according to The Jackpot Winners with Retailers Information report available for download on The Florida Lottery's MegaMillions page. If it was claimed by a Trust, I doubt the general public will ever know the name(s) of the winner(s). The Jackpot winners Report might be updated after 90 days, but if it was claimed via trust that wont tell the public all that much. Although The Florida Lottery certainly could, after 90 days I doubt they'll all of a sudden decide to

$1.3 billion Powerball winner revealed by Oregon Lottery as three people splitting jackpotReply
The established, incontrovertible fact that Chao is getting only 1/3 of the jackpot strongly indicates that she paid 1/3 of the total cost of their shared tickets. ' where is this said in the text? At no point can I see the distribution stated. the article is perfectly clear . There was no suggestion that Chao supply the $100 to buy more tickets.. the text (as I quote once more) very explicitly says.. He purchased $200 worth of Quick Pick tickets for the April 6, 2024 drawing a
