$1.3 billion Powerball winner revealed by Oregon Lottery as three people splitting jackpotReply
The other article I read was wrong and they since corrected it, so you're right, it's a 50-50 split. My bad.

Before you geniuses downvoting my posts jump to conclusions, remember that my opinion was based on the limited information given in the opening post, not the entire article.

You're being downvoted mostly because you're factually wrong. The article says the winning ticket was a quick pick. Direct quote from article: His winning numbers were purchased with a Quick Pick, he emphasized. God picked for me, he said, pointing upwards. So, thank you. He laughed and elicited an amused applause from the spectators. You're also being downvoted for being insufferable.

Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winReply
I don't know, but I thought I had seen somewhere that RNG QPs do not repeat any combination until every combination has been picked once. That doesn't take into consideration the players who are picking their own numbers that will duplicate combinations that RNG may have given out. However, as I researched this win, I found one article that said the winning ticket was self picked numbers. So if cards had been filled out to cover all of the combinations the logistics of that are amazing if the ca

I am intrigued about these lottery courier services. Who uses them? The only other time I have heard of them was when an Iraqi citizen used one and won an Oregon lottery. Based on this article, could someone use one of this services if they wanted to purchase tickets in a state where one is allowed to be anonymous? Are these services for state lotteries only or for Powerball and MegaMillions too?

$1.3 billion Powerball winner revealed by Oregon Lottery as three people splitting jackpotReply
I read in another article that they are splitting it equally 3 ways. So the fact that Chao is getting only 1/3 of the jackpot strongly indicates that she paid 1/3 of the total cost of their shared tickets. Plausibly, what happened is the husband (and wife) bought $200 worth of tickets, then later called up Chao to ask if she wanted to pitch in $100 more to buy more tickets on top of what he already purchased. That would make $300.

I read the article while on my way to the store to buy my $3 Powerball ticket for Mondays draw. I almost made a U turn back home then I thought, I am the 8% and I still have a chance, so still got my ticket. Now if you are in an office pool and your total budget is $50, take heart we are in this together

The established, incontrovertible fact that Chao is getting only 1/3 of the jackpot strongly indicates that she paid 1/3 of the total cost of their shared tickets. ' where is this said in the text? At no point can I see the distribution stated. the article is perfectly clear . There was no suggestion that Chao supply the $100 to buy more tickets.. the text (as I quote once more) very explicitly says.. He purchased $200 worth of Quick Pick tickets for the April 6, 2024 drawing a
