Clerk's random pick wins Michigan man $1.05 million on game he swore offReply
Michigan lottery needs to be investigated. Most if not all of the big winners comes from Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb counties. Playing any type of big game or scratch off seems like a waste of money since all of the jackpots are only found there.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
MM increased $15M, up to $346M. PB is $172M. CDanaT before you tell us the MM is 'Measly' compare the MM and PB jackpots and consider taking a remedial math course. Good Luck in whatever you do play.

Illinois Lottery shells out $7.1 million after players win big with 7-7-7-7Reply
It depends on the state. Michigan had a big payout with the number 1028. If I'm not mistaken, the total prize won was over $9 million. I still think one of the biggest jackpots was on 1010. In February of 2010 the payout was $21.6 million.

Annuity or Cash Value
Cash values of the MM PB jackpots are around 45% of the advertised Annuity. What would be your choice ?

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Hmmm Two jackpots in a row won by two ticketholders each draw ..... I smell a $ 2.5 bil jackpot on the horizon. I play for the larger jackpots .... that's just my game ...... call me greedy but, that's how I roll. So what is y'all's take on which multistate game will reach one billion dollars first? Have a shaggy day! ShagE3

UK lottery winner misses claims deadline for £10.6 million jackpotReply
That's the harsh reality of the UK's 180-day claim window, strict from the October 4 draw date right up to April 2, and now that 10.6m heads straight to good causes instead. Makes Dave's Waking Ned Devine reference hit even harder, since real-life tragedies like sudden death do explain a chunk of these unclaimed jackpots. Subscribing online like dannyct mentioned is smart insurance here, as it auto-claims everything without the ticket risk.

Arkansas lottery winner of $250.8 million Powerball jackpot claims prizeReply
Arkansas is on fire with these Powerball jackpots, first that massive $1.817 billion on Dec 24, 2025 (numbers 4-25-31-52-59 PB 19, cash $834.9M pre-tax), then this $250.8M from March 2 (2-17-18-38-62 PB 20, $118M cash option). Smart move claiming through a trust keeps the winner's name private under Arkansas rules, unlike states that force full disclosure. Todd's right to debunk the fake rumors; official releases confirm anonymity for both, no E****n or local lady ties, just pure luck hitting 1-

winter bird, Calling Mega Millions measly by people who do not have near the jackpots says a lot about those people. Tucker Black, One more time no one is pointing a gun at you and demanding you play.

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
What would have sales been, had the ticket prices remained at $2 over the last 11 1/2 months ? Would there have been more/less than 6 jackpot winners since the restart at $50 million ? Would the jackpots have reached $1 Billion + just one time at the $2 price, instead of taking 40 draws to reach $980 Million(7/01 - 11/14/25) ?

Australian man deletes email from lottery about $50 million Powerball jackpot winReply
I can't blame him for deleting it, I would have done the same thing. I still remember the very first spam email I ever received, informing me that I'd won the lottery. It might have been more convincing if I hadn't won two different multi-million dollar jackpots that morning.
