$610 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot largest in ten monthsReply
now just a 'modest' increase of $30 million to $610. That $72 million change from 508 to 580 was actually an increase to 550 followed by a change in interest rates that added an imaginary $30 million while increasing the cash value by all of 800k. Also, despite the jackpots always being higher if there's a rollover sales for a Monday jackpot are almost always substantially less than sales for the previous Saturday. That said, a rollover tonight will increase it from 625 to 680, which is pre

Mega Millions and Powerball lottery jackpots both top $300 millionReply
LoL! I'll make you an offer. For every Powerball or Mega Million ticket that you buy that doesn't win the jackpot you send me $100 per losing ticket. For every Powerball or Mega Million ticket that you buy that does win the Jackpot I will send you $2 to cover the cost of the ticket. When you win either jackpot you can gloat and say not only did I win the jackpot but I got some idiot to buy the ticket for me Imagine all the jackpots you'll be winning and all the g

Six tickets each win $100,000 Mass Cash prize at the same store on the same dayReply
Although I cant remember when it happened, a guy in Massachusetts played Mass Cash with ten identical lines and won a million dollars. Was less than five years ago that it happened. It was reported in The LP news.. too lazy to search for it. The Mass Lottery is correct in that it happens frequently. When I lived in New York near the Massachusetts border, I used to drive over to Great Barrington Mass and buy Mass Cash tickets where I bought multiple identical lines. I did that because I read

Kentucky Lottery Instant Play jackpot winner celebrates by handing out moneyReply
I'm confused by this article. Will look up this instant game in a bit, but Fast Play is not available to play on line. The KY Lottery Bank Buster acts the same with growing jackpots like our Fast play. Jackpot for our $20 Fast play is over $1.2 million, highest in the country. I'm taking a couple of weeks off from playing that one. Well in any case, a moot point, she was very generous of her! On their website it said sixteen winners won $1K or more last week....hmmm am tempted to t

Michigan Lottery celebrates 50th Anniversary with release of $50 scratch-off ticketReply
Fast Play kind of games aren't Tx Lottery type of games. One of my biggest complaints about TX is the jackpots aren't that great for the odds of the games. The Legislature nonsense got started with a State Rep from Southlake (just a few miles from where I live, and used to sell furniture) which is a very affluent city. In fact, a Lotto Texas jackpot was won there maybe 10 years ago or so. Can't recall the Reps' name but it was several years ago that he decided the lottery was bad for the cit

Merry ChristmasReply
Shepherds in the region where Jesus was born, which is believed to be in Bethlehem, would typically have their sheep in the fields during the spring and summer months, not in December . The biblical account of the nativity in the Gospel of Luke mentions that shepherds were in the fields at night when they received the angelic announcement of Jesus' birth. This suggests a warmer time of year, rather than the winter month of December. The tradition of celebrating Christmas on December 25th lik

Washington Lottery Hit 5 ticket worth $755,000 expires soonReply
Makes no sense! Happens all the time... Here's an 2016 article title just for my state: Since 1997, more than $60 million in Wisconsin Lottery winnings have gone unclaimed, according to figures supplied to USA TODAY NETWORK. From the year before: More than $2 million was left on the table by Wisconsin residents who had winning lottery tickets but failed to collect their cash in fiscal year 2015, (doesn t include scratch-off tickets). Each year!! , the amount typically fell between $

Massachusetts store clerk indicted after stealing lottery ticket worth $3 million from customerReply
All states are different. Based on what I know about the California Lottery and what I have read, I think even under this scenario the CA Lottery would not pay the claimant. There's a precedent of going out of their way to find the original owner. I agree these are interesting hypothetical scenarios to discuss. For all this talk of bearer instruments, here is the exact legal verbiage on the back of a CA Lottery draw ticket (as of a week ago when I purchased this loser): Your ticket, not

$1.5 BILLION: Powerball jackpot nears all-time recordReply
What % of ticket combinations were sold? Based on 183 million tickets a random distribution would use 46.54% of the possible combinations. The number of 5+0 and 4+1 winners is fairly unlikely (though even the most likely result of 200 4+1 winners is only 2.82%) and almost certainly a result of 3 of the 5 numbers being birthday numbers. We all know that a lot of people play calendar numbers , patterns, and other non-random selections, so the actual number of combinations would have been lowe
