One ticket sold in California wins $1.08 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Thanks for the list. I was surprised Louisiana was in the top 10. I guess there's hope for me winning after all!

Michigan woman didn't realize she had Powerball lottery ticket worth $1 million for six weeksReply
I do agree. I have never relied on clerks or anyone else to tell me I won, I always check my own tickets. Before we could check onilne, I watched the live drawings or called the lottery information number to get the numbers. Later, I checked them on the web. Today, I use the scan feature on the Louisiana Lottery app. I don't trust anyone to check to my tickets for me, too many things can go wrong.

Mississippi Lottery to add midday drawings and new Fireball feature to Cash 3 and Cash 4 gamesReply
I thought Mississippi would start day drawings pretty quickly. I didn't think they would do day drawings on Sundays since none of the states that border Mississippi have Sunday day drawings. Louisiana does only night drawings, Arkansas does two numbers games drawings Monday-Saturday and only one on Sunday, Tennessee does three numbers games drawings Monday-Saturday and only one on Sunday, and Alabama doesn't have a lottery.

Lottery ticket sold in Illinois wins $560 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
We don't have online purchasing in Louisiana since using credit cards to buy tickets is illegal here. It's convenient but I wonder how the retailera feel about it.

Two record prizes claimed by Mississippi lottery players in one dayReply
When Louisiana first started its lottery, I heard people complain about how many of the big winners were in the New Orleans area, which is the most densely populated part of our state. When more tickets are sold in an area, statistically there will be more winners there. It's just a numbers game. When I hear about a winner, I'm always happy for them and want to congratulate them and hope if I hit it big others will do the same. I wish we could all be that way.

Three Calgary friends claim $50M lottery prize after 17 years playing togetherReply
I ran a pool at a former workplace as well. I collected every 2 weeks on payday and bought a mix of Powerball, Louisiana Lotto, and MegaMillions tickets. Winnings were put back in for more tickets. We never had a big win, but we had some smaller wins that gave us enough incentive to keep playing. My manager and 2 of the supervisors were in the pool I was running. One retired and kept up with it for a while, but then dropped out. Considering the way our director treated us, we would have had

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.

$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseReply
Same thing happened to me. Even so, I will keep trying and hoping for the best. In addition to Powerball and MegaMillions, here in Louisiana, Lotto has gotten to $1million and Easy 5 to $240,000. They don't often get hat high either so I wonder if not as many of those are selling either. I got some tickets today and may get some more tomorrow. Can't win if if you're not in it. Best of luck to all.
