Record $1.9 billion Powerball drawing delayed until TuesdayReply
$2.04B and $997M cash option are final numbers! If those 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%. It also means they sold roughly half as many tickets a they did for the (now legitimately) previous rec

$1.2 BILLION: Powerball jackpot grows to 4th-largest in historyReply
I believe this will be a record-breaking Jackpot! I think it's got a very good chance of setting a record if it hasn't already. We've had 38 rollovers so far, which is at least close to a record for PB (and maybe MM). That we didn't see an increase in the advertised jackpot today makes me think it's not going to get much past 1.2 billion, and that makes me think that even with another rollover it might not set a new annuity record by Saturday. Of course that would only be a pretend reco

South Carolina Lottery says no prize for 71,000 'winning' ticketsReply
I have been waiting on this for 6 months now. I do not play this game or any other computer printed games other than Powerball and Mega Millions simply because S.C has a clause written that they can change the prize amount you win { pick3,pick4 and cash5 } similar to the california's para mutal clause, Those that won several thousands of dollars are not happy but they knew that that machine was broken due to printing a 500.00 winner everytime so at least they might get some of their money back b

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
You're sounding more childish with every new post so maybe you are a child. Where is that email you were sending to the election board? You can't show where I said I was sending an email so it's just more childish drama. But I can show everyone where on page 159 you lied said something you can't prove about the Arlington County Election Board. The county was forced to announce it was a mixup and we would be getting new cards. Why not simply tell everyone where to find that announ

Thai monk says winning lottery number came from examining a tree's texturesNews Story
A Buddhist monk living in a monastery in Thailand won a nearly $175,000 lottery jackpot thanks to a lucky number revealed to him by a tree.

Mega Millions lottery game's redesign aims at bigger jackpots, better overall oddsReply
Increasing the jackpot odds by an astonishing 83 million from 175,711,536 to 258,890,850? LOL Everyone we know plays for the jackpot not the lower tier prizes, so it doesn t matter what the overall odds will be. Before these changes the jackpot odds were already ridiculously long. We seldom played the game and we've never won anything. Now with the odds being 83 million longer, it doesn t matter how big the jackpots get. They can keep it because we absolutely will not play. Greed has g

$325 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot increased before draw dateReply
Let's keep it real people. One ticket is all you need. I overheard a guy making a remark along the lines that people will play PB this week and not have food the next. True. I remember a craze awhile back when the jackpot got real big....the machines were smoking trying to print all of the tickets people were buying. It rolled that day and I believe went out the next draw. Sales were more than brisk, they were steaming. Don't go overboard. Remember the odds but also remember it takes

Conn. man's last lotto ticket wins $10M for widowReply
I don't need to take oyur word. We all know that death and taxes are the only things that are certain (though I'm willing to consider that technology could change the death part). The value of the ticket is $1. That's only true before the drawing. After the drawing it's worth nothing or it's worth the value of any prize it won. If you give a ticket to somebody it's a gift. That's what a gift is, after all. The question is how much the gift is worth, and in the case of a winning lottery t

NC lottery to begin Pick 3 midday game in springNews Story

Lottery executive director Tom Shaheen says the Pick 3 drawing would be performed identically to the numbers drawing held every night. The midday drawing would be held Monday through Saturday.
