$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
Based on sales and recalling the fact that every drawing resets the probabilities, the most likely outcome of this particular drawing was that there would be NO winner (nearly 70%). However, most likely doesn't mean guaranteed because of....probability. You don't need a QP machine conspiracy because every jackpot game has duplicates (losing + winning) due to the random nature of the lottery. You can figure this with the below formula: When you plug in # tickets sold for this drawing

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
Hi Todd! Do you know if the lottery officials will ever return to the jackpot starting at $40M ? They raised the price of the tickets and $40M was an incentive. The pandemic dropped it all back to $20M but we are now passed the pandemic but they have yet to go back to a $40M starting jackpot....

Canadian man claims record $64 million Lotto 6/49 jackpot right before it expiresReply
Well, well, well, and here I am checking my tickets every morning after the previous nights draw. You know why? Because I don't want to miss out on earning on my winnings. The $47.26 M would have earned the winner $2.5 M in interest if the money was invested in US 12 month treasury bills at 5.3% That is why if I win the jackpot I won't wait for 6 months or one year. I will be at the lottery headquarters the next week to collect my winning

How do you deal with lottery losses?Reply
I was just in my garage decluttering and tinkering what to my surprise I came across an envelope full of Ohio Lotto tickets from 1985. Not kidding. That was the year I won $800 some bucks. It was 2 lines for a dollar. I counted them up and had about $180 some dollars in losing tix. No idea why I brought them to TX except they probably got tossed in with other stuff not knowing or caring what they were. They were printed with the old dot matrix printers. That's how many years I've been playi

Uh-oh! I lied! ONE MORE POST and then I'm positively definitely without question DONE posting! Although I've no idea where you maybe located in New York State, if you live anywhere near the border with Pennsylvania, then each year during October, November and December, Pennsylvania Millionaire Raffle tickets go on sale. I was located about 75 miles from The NY/PA border, and when those raffle tickets went on sale I beat it over to PA as fast as I could to buy some. They carry 125,000 to

Alabama Lottery bill falls short by one voteReply
We are deeply disappointed that the people of Alabama will, once again, be denied the right to vote on this important issue, the statement reads. ...Inevitably, people will continue to spend money on the lottery and other types of gaming in adjoining states and, sadly, Alabama will miss out on that sorely needed revenue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feel sorry for all of those Alabamans that

Lottery ticket sold in Illinois wins $560 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
Great points taken. Didn't quite understand about different noises that machines make then say that thermal printers are silent. My home state was the last (MA) to get rid of noisy, dot matrix printers. Not sure where the machine that printed that $787 or so million dollar ticket from near W. MA went, but she was making tghe rounds years ago. I agree with you on CA lottery and Todd reminded me of their law for pari-mutuel payouts. Had sent an email vs regular mail months ago asking them to g
