Powerball draw for 12/25/2023Reply
Many stores close on Christmas day, so less sales. I didn't bother to drive out to buy a ticket on Christmas day. Saved myself a $2 loss. No online purchases in AZ yet.

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.

$1.7 billion in combined jackpots, as USA multi-state lottery games peak togetherReply
With increased sales, it may reach $1billion by Friday night. It's time Louisiana won a jackpot on MegaMillions as we haven't won one yet. I got my tickets and good luck to everyone.

Massachusetts store clerk who tried to steal customer's $3M lottery prize sentenced to probationReply
You can't buy that type of ticket on-line. Massachusetts last I knew doesn't even have on line sales. Our instant tickets here in KY are totally different than scratch tickets in the store. In addition you get to wager, if you will, how much you want to spend. One was twenty cents all the way up to $20.00. Then the computer 'scratches' the ticket to see how much you won.
