Maryland lottery fan takes home $100,000 in Pick 5 after winning top prize twiceReply
Congratulations. Wonder why she didn't stay anonymous? Great thing about the win not even beating the odds, but studying the #'s long enough to beat the good old RNG computer---if that's possible.

He wrote 'Lottery Lottery' not PA Lottery. Sounds more like the name of a shady establishment. Hey Wander, it just occurred to me that you probably buy your Powerball and MM tickets in NJ instead of PA, because you could remain anonymous.

Mega Millions confirms ticket price increase to $5, other changes coming April 2025Reply
That's inflation for ya! At any rate they should take away the 70 ball also for more second prizes. I won't be playing unless I'm in an anonymous state and the jackpot is super high. I'm plugging away on different games right now as I have already all but quit Mega because nobody wins. Speaking of changing games Michigan has 3 dead draw games including our 6/xx game which hasn't been changed in coming on 20 years.... I'll post a thread on that on another forum...
