$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
Mine too! I could get a lot accomplished on a personal level with that. I think of the bigger jackpot wins as being me and my circle of loved ones . The bigger jackpots mean considerable time going into careful management. Smaller = fewer complications. (usually, of course)

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonNews Story
Lump-sum cash option worth $621 million Drawing was delayed by one state needing more time to process sales Updated with area that winning ticket was sold By Todd Northrop Around the United States, millions of people had to wait an extra three hours last night to find out if they won the unbelievably massive Powerball jackpot, due to one unnamed state's inability to deal with the huge amount of ticket sales data. When the drawing did finally occur Sunday morning, it turns o

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
I thought a lottery ticket is a bearer's instrument (it is written so on the back of many tickets). Some basic vetting is appropriate (i.e., where when did you buy this ticket?), but police interviews, checking the store's video feed, waiting months to award you the money, etc.) is way over-the-top. It seems like nowadays they (the state lotteries) can potentially come up with any reason for refusing to give you the money you won, and I think that's way too much power for them when in fact WE (l

Lottery Hanky PankyReply
Anytime computers and networking is involved, there's always room for hanky panky. As an IT admin, with enterprise rights, anything can be done and all these lotteries are networked. The speed at which things are calculated should have no room for error, unless it's 'human error' which means manipulation/tampering. Code it, program it, run it, check for errors, if all is proper, leave it alone. But when jackpots get this big, and supposedly the lottery proceeds are meant for education(either a l

Accidental lottery ticket purchase nets Maryland couple $2 million in PowerballReply
Our self serve machines do not have replay feature either if that's what you're talking about. Our clerks can replay your tickets for you. Naturally I wrote IGT (physical letter, no e-mail) suggestion that the machines be equipped with a replay feature...naturally this shareholder never got a reply. However years before that I wrote them in Las Vegas and said I had won several jackpots on their WOF slot machines. They sent me a very nice WOF with IGT on the back.

Oregon woman who doesn't check lottery tickets wins $1 million in raffleReply
Dude, people do buy containers to store their lottery tickets in hopes of getting around to checking them eventually. I guess you never heard of people who also store their lottery tickets in the glove box in their car. One guy who does this says, he only takes the tickets out of the glove box every 3 or 4 months or so when he decides to clear out his car. He did check the pile of tickets and discovered a winning ticket of 10K. Also storing tickets in containers, glove boxes and other places is

Nebraska Lottery will join Lotto America in MayReply
Lotto America is run by MSLU, the Powerball people. Supposedly, it replaced the Hot Lotto game which was destroyed by Eddie Tipton who programmed winning numbers in for relatives, friends, and eventually himself when he worked for the lottery, and was caught and sent to jail. The Lotto America game was supposed to be a ball drawn game when they started it and was drawn in private after the Powerball drawing. No actual video of such a drawing ever took place that I know of and the game seemed to
