New Jersey resident says no thanks to road rage, wins $600,000 lottery prize insteadReply
Great story from New Jersey! Now onto me. This morning taking my $21 Mega Millions to cash in machine. I looked down and it said that machine had a $15 credit....so I played it. Never cashed the MM ticket for more. One of the employees was out emptying many trash cans in the gas area. She came up to me and said a lady was playing and 'would be right back'. Well she asked me to leave the $15 @ register. I waited 1/2 hour for her. Asked Tabitha if she was working tomorrow and if lady neve

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
The statement made above about USA not able to play in other countries lottery is not exactly true. Let's break it down . USA has the Biggest and best Lottery in the World so USA is selling lottery plans to the World. If other countries had the best lottery's then they can sell it to USA . So Remember it's not that other countries do not want to sell lottery to USA its just that USA doesn't exactly like to follow. The only other Lottery that can compete with USA lottery is Spanish ElGordo but un

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
I would like to make special mention of the #24 jackpot on the annuity list, since it is close to falling off the list. Long-timers here may remember what an incredible watershed time that was, when Mega Millions hit $656 million. By the afternoon of the drawing, the jackpot was bumped up to $640 million. Check out the level of excitement in the story and comments: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/244310 By draw time, when the final sales were calculated, the jackpot settled at $65

Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply
Hmmmm first mega millions now cash+lucky=millionaire 4 life. $5 a ticket .... wow! Seeing as I only play lucky 4 life when pb and or mm are less than 250 million .... and then no more than twice per week .... like it used to be Mon and Thur. I think if I decide to play ..... it will be no more than once a week if even that.... when pb and mm are less than $250 mil. I think I'll have to eat more liverwurst and or oliveloaf sandwiches in the future when the lotto storm comes this January.

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
I don't know all the details hence the I'm looking forward to the details because I might just do Power Ball and this new game with rare plays on others. We will see line in my original post on this thread. The 500k is ok because, using past inflation figures, that would be 100k in 30 years if I am around then. That is another reason I don't like Mega Millions because who wants the annuity payments adjusted for inflation if you are over 45 years old? I would rather have a flat a

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
Yeah, if this happens again next year ... I surmise there will be discussions about changing things up. Let's hope they don't go the mega millions route with $5 tickets. Maybe they could axe the Monday drawing .... Maybe they could offer 3 dollar tickets with pp included on every ticket Maybe they keep the 10 x pp and make it available @ 300 and under or available all at any jackpot amount Maybe maybe maybe Have a shaggy day ShagE3
