But that wouldn't make sense. It's still +EV chasing the $500. I won $630 today. Not the greatest but still decent. First pack of the day was full pack and hit on ticket #028. Best win in a while. Second pack was on #027 when I arrived. It's not a machine I had ever seen chased before so I took a chance on it. #023 was $1

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
Do they expect someone to remember where and when he/she bought every ticket? Did you notice the part that said If details about the purchase don't line up, this could be cause for further investigation ? They expect people who won very large sums of money to remember some of the details, but if you don't they'll normally just look at it a bit more closely.

Quick Picks vs Self Picks, neither has an advantage
A few people in the News Forum asked in the thread about the $1.337 billions MM jackpot asked if the winning ticket was a self pick or a quick pick.

Quick Pick vs Self Pick Entries When you enter Mega Millions you have two options- choose your own numbers or have a Quic

Pennsylvania: 10/1 - 10/31/2023Reply
I stumbled across a betting technique that's put a smile on my face but not in the way you'd expect. Might be a fluke, but I thought I'd pass it along here in case somebody else wants to try it. Find one of the full service lottery vending machines that prints out Fast Play and draw game tickets. You'll want something in a not-too-busy store because you'll be on the machine for a couple minutes. I fill out my betting slips in advance and put a couple dollars more in the machine than the bet
