New Jersey woman to take legal action against Atlantic City casino after being refused $2.5M payoutReply
She hit the service button on the machine to call for help But on every machine where I got a hand pay win, lights started blinking, the screen showed the amount, and jackpot hand pay required . This story reminds me of the woman believing she won $42,949,672 on a penny slot machine. Not many of the linked multi machines have jackpots that large. How many individual slot machines have you seen that have $2.56 million jackpots?

New Jersey woman to take legal action against Atlantic City casino after being refused $2.5M payoutReply

One ticket sold in Florida is sole winner of $1.58 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
Including duplicate tickets, 57% percent of all the MM combos were sold so based on sales, only one winning ticket was expected. The July 29, 2022 $1.28 Billion jackpot had twice as many tickets sold. It's possible sales for the billion dollar jackpots are down because there is usually only one winning ticket. Both Michigan and Massachusetts discontinued games where when jackpots reached a prize level, the excess money was paid out to secondary prizes. It wasn't the same as having multiple j

I got lucky. I found a pool buying tickets for the Friday Mega Millions draw that let me join. Now I am really looking forward to the draw. We never have jackpots this large in Canada. On the other hand, even though our jackpots are smaller, we get to keep all the money - no taxes on lottery wins.
