Michigan man wins $4 million after being unable to buy lottery ticket he originally wanted
Hahaha there are stories of people buying Rescue Tickets those that the cashier either prints by mistake but the buyer wanted something different - they buy those then they win a big prize . I tried three times, went into a store and rescued some tickets - lol - the rest is history - I won nada on all three occasions. I now rescue kittens - you know someone rescued a kitten and won, lol.

$1.05 BILLION: Mega Millions keeps rolling after no winner Friday
One more point... Everybody knows the lottery is a suckers bet. The long odds against players is proof of that, but it's those very same long odds that might put a huge cash windfall in your bank account. I'm OK with those that have rolled their eyes in my face because they're entitled to their opinion just as I am mine. Should I win big, they'll also probably hold the opinion that I was incredibly lucky. And I'd agree with them. As for asking me for money... I think it's much more likel

$1.05 BILLION: Mega Millions keeps rolling after no winner Friday
I think it's all in the way you look at it. To me, it's simply a matter of perspective. I buy lottery tickets for their entertainment value, and oh yeah, I might win some money too. I bet with my head, never over it. I dont kid myself into thinking I'll win big some day. My attitude is if I lose (which happens all the time) then I had a little fun. If I happen to be very lucky and win a significant pile of cash, then I know I'll be very very happy. I've had people roll their eyes in my face

Texas Legislature proposes bill to block online lottery courier services
The bill moved on to the House after passing in the Senate unanimously on April 12. On April 18, it was referred to the Licensing Administrative Procedures Committee, which regulates gaming industries in the state and matters pertaining to the Texas Lottery Commission. Looks like the Legislature was working on this before the big jackpot win. Personally I don't have an opinion one way or the other on this. I've always had my favorite stores to buy my tix so it doesn't really affect

Pennsylvania skill games company to face off against casinos in PA Supreme Court
I've played these a couple times and can confirm you do not win every time. There's still a big element of luck to them because it's a matter of playing a large enough bet when the pattern shows up that allows you to win. Having said that, these are in many/most of the smaller convenience stores near me and there's almost always one or two people playing on them when I go in. I asked the store clerks about them and the response has been that some people much prefer them over PA lottery because i
