Self-described 'lottery freak' buys $88M Powerball ticketReply
Wheeling doesn't improve your odds of winning, it just guarantees a minimum win if all the winning numbers are in the pool of numbers that you wheeled. For example, you can wheel all 49 numbers of a 6/49 game in 163 lines and be guaranteed a match 3 which in Ohio pays $2, but your odds of winning the jackpot would be the same if you bought 163 randomly picked combinations.

Michigan gets second multi-state lottery winner in a weekReply
I think the last MM winner here was in 2002, it was 163 miilion, but two people won. One in Illinois, and the other was in New Jeresy. The Shell gas station where the winning ticket was purchased is right up the street from where I live! But my family didn't even play MMs back then. No PB winners yet!

Ohio Lottery investigating frequent winnersReply
....the high number of claims Patel made 163 between April 2005 and November 2010 prompted an investigation by the lottery's security department. With all the Patels around the country involved in lottery scams, the fact that he was a Patel should have been enough to prompt an investigation.

$290 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot rolls againReply
My stepfather has joked for years that you have to live in a town no one has ever heard to win the lottery. 4 years ago could've been my lucky day, but I didn't play the big lottery back then. Half of 163 MM jackpot ticket was purchased at a Shell right down from where we live. I'm not saying I was going to have the winning ticket, but I never even gave myself a chance because I did not even play MM back then only scratch-off tickets. I have bought many from that same Shell. Well, forget about f

Hollywood stuntman in Harry Potter film celebrates magic $10.5M lottery winReply
Like many other ordinary people Miss Surtees, a divorced mother-of-five, was feeling the pinch and worrying how she was going to pay her 163 phone bill when the numbers she has faithfully been using for 14 years to play the National Lottery finally came up. She checked the results on Thursday morning on Teletext as she tried to get her youngest children ready for school. I found this very funny when I read it in the UK Daily Mail. It's nice to know she is like many other ordinary people

Minn. store clerk accused of "micro-scratching" lottery ticketsReply
I think people who don't know what they are doing should not even play the lottery. The scratch offs explain how to determine if your ticket is a winner. If you can't read, please don't play. You can go on line and check lotto and other number games or you can get the 1-800 number to call. I believe you should be able to trust the store clerk but let's face it, everyone cannot be trusted and people can also make mistakes. Also, please write your lotto numbers on play slips. There are some rea

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
I can show ten polls showing Clinton leading from 2 to 13 points but dueling poll numbers prove little or nothing. Real Clear Politics has several National and state polls including senate races. In 2012 Obama got less than 52% of the popular vote, but got almost 62% of the electoral vote. Anyone placing a very large wager to get 2:5 on Clinton or 2:1 on Trump might need more information than a 2 or 3 point swing in the current National polls. IMO, I'd look at the individual state past voting
