California winner of $1.765 billion Powerball jackpot is lauded as kind family man by neighborsReply
I didn't realize it had been raised again. Must be an increase in sales. I'd like to win but if it rolls a few more times, I'll hit $1billion!

Numbers submitting Cutoff TimeReply
The thing about cut off time to me is that it's automated. It's software that's cutting off sales at all retailers terminals at whatever time the lottery arbitrarily decided they wanted terminals shut down prior to the draw. So who made that decision? Some programmer that works for the lottery while he/she was writing the code to do it? In the programmers defense it could have been in the documented program specifications he/she received to write the code. But now that it's in the code, the

$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

The Idiot TaxReply
Ignore the little jack asses that live in your head, they get everything wrong, they say. Doesn't matter where the taxes come from, property, sales, income, lottery, when have you last seen your tax dollars at work? The pot hole is still there, but they added a speed bump. That's about all government is, a bump in the road. BobP Excel at PE if you want to earn a living throwing things.

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
I am so confused by this. It takes the California lottery from October 16 2023 to March 29 2024 (165 days) to verify the winner and collect the money to give the winner their payment ? I have never heard of this before even with previous major jackpot winners in other states and California. I can understand keeping the privacy for lottery winners. But I don t like the lack of transparency from the lottery and generic answers or talking around the question. It s just like how Powerba
