Question about the Texas pick 3 lottery
I've noticed that Texas doesn't print out the ticket separately. What I mean is. let's say I pick a number like 123 Straight 5 times on the play slip and it comes out Straight. Is the payout paid out as 5 separate tickets or is it taxed because it's over $600? Not knowing the answer what I've been doing is asking the clerk to put the play slip of the number five times to avoid getting taxed. In New York, each number is printed out separately. Thanks in advance.

Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winReply
This same plan was followed by an Australian group back in the 90s. They showed up in VA with Lotto cards filled out with the 7 million+ Lotto combinations and attempted to buy all combos by distributing buyers throughout the state. The state lottery put a halt to the plan after they only bought about 2/3 of the combinations, but they still had the winning ticket, although another ticket also won. VA put a stop to that kind of action I think by limiting the amount of tickets that could be purcha

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
Years ago there was an incident in another state in which the jackpot was over $80M (a record at that time) and a woman claimed she had dropped the ticket outside of the store that was identified as being the seller of the winning ticket. She did this because the real winner had not yet come forward and the media was creating a frenzy over what was taking so long (it really wasn't long at all but people were excited about the wining jackpot). People flocked to the store and news crews vi

Ohio: 3/1 - 3/31/2024Reply
I know that it's close to draw time but, I just wanted to share this. While I was getting my tickets for tonight, there was a guy in front of me playing the lottery. I noticed that he was playing the pick 3. He mentioned that he has a strategy that involves +1 -1. So, I asked him if he had any good numbers for tonight. He said to play 33 pair with 0-9. I don't know if he was being truthful or just pulling my leg. But, I played them anyway.

When is the right time to hang your lottery boots?Reply
Here is an alternative to quit playing the lottery. Spend a lot less money by joining a pool. For the current series of Mega Millions draws, I have been spending only 35 cents per draw. The pool is buying 20 tickets per draw. Not a lot of tickets but still enough to win. My share of the jackpot for the Friday draw is $3 million. This is the cash value and before taxes.

$1.3 billion Mega Millions lottery winner's family sues him for not sharing jackpotReply
Artist makes some really good points above. Brock Lee also made an interesting point he split the prize with a gf who isn't his baby mama . Db101 added further clarification the most plausible explanation is that they went halvsies (with gf) on purchasing some tickets for that drawing. Lotteries split prizes among members of lottery pools all the time, whether it's a pool of 2 or 20 .. That gf's existence is irrelevant to the story here My take is unless plaintiffs can prove John Doe did not hav
