New Jersey lottery ticket wins $315.3 million Powerball jackpotReply
No disrespect intended weshar75, but what difference does it truly make, IF the winning ticket was self picked or machine picked? l have heard it said that Every lottery ticket out there, has the SAME chance as any other. If that be true, why the interest in whether it was this or that? This is a genuine question, l am not looking to get into a debate. All l want is a clear, precise answer.That's all.

Iowa Lottery promises to work harder to stop cheatersReply
It just goes to show how important it is to maybe have someone take a picture of you holding your ticket in your hand to prove that you have won and it's your ticket! As far as the E.T. thing of planting a bug on the gaming machine, just bring back the BALL's!..... '

Woman who let Powerball winner go ahead of her has no regretsReply
Everything that happened that day played a part in her getting that ticket. That ticket was no different than any other ticket before 59 numbered balls dropped into a container and forced air was applied creating thousands, maybe millions of chaotic situations. If the slot the balls enter had opened one second early or one second late, would Gloria still won the jackpot? What if the person hitting the start button on the bonus number machine sneezed, coughed, or scratched their nose dela

Three NY store clerks held in theft of $75,000 lottery ticketReply
The moral of this story is ALWAYS SIGN YOUR TICKET BEFORE HANDING IT TO A CLERK TO CHECK IT FOR YOU!If your state has a self checking machine at stores,USE IT,after signing your ticket!ALWAYS SIGN YOUR TICKET!!!Trust no one when it comes to winning money.

Liquor store in Passaic, NJ, sold winning Powerball ticketReply
Pat Battle reporting for NBC was outside the Liquor Store and the winner is a Passaic bodega worker who was working all day and didn't realize the winning ticket was purchased at his regular lotto / liquor shop. He actually took out his ticket and gave it to the clerk to run through the machine and a jackpot message was indicated! I'm surprised no one followed him home....

New Yorkers left $37M in lottery prizes unclaimedReply
Maybe they have been using those automatic ticket checkers the states are so proud of.Maybe they checked their tickets and the machine said sorry,not a winner and they tossed the ticket.

$305 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot in rare territoryReply
In reference to Cash 5, it clearly states on the ticket you can win ten dollars on just two numbers until the end of August. I have two tickets rejected that this is not a winning ticket. It states every one in ten tickets are winners. Tried to cash them in, the machine rejected them as winning tickets Tried to email the lottery no response!

Arkansas woman loses bid for $1M lottery ticket picked from trashReply
I think that the facts got twisted a bit in this story. I would be willing to bet she scanned the ticket herself on the scanner for keno/megamillions etc..I've seen people do it before. These scanners dont work for scratchies. I've never seen a scanner anywhere that a customer can use to check scratchies. She would have to have given the ticket to the clerk to really find out if it was a winner by scanning it on the lotto machine thats behind the counter.
