One ticket sold in Florida is sole winner of $1.58 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
Why do people who keep getting divorced keep getting married? Because of addiction to love. I am addicted to gambling; No one is perfect, I know my issues. I am not the one to be conspiratorial but I have studied and played the lottery for a long time. I have seen so many things that have put the lottery both PB and MM in a negative light that if 10 years from now they say that the lottery has been rigged all along i wouldn't be surprised 1 iota. I also would like to believe that the lottery is

$1.05 BILLION: Mega Millions keeps rolling after no winner FridayReply
Am pretty sure they will be - good thing is they will never know. It's like the preacher whose sermon is all about gambling ain't right. But when a congregant wins, they can give 10% tithe and the good Lord will take it

Maryland player wins $50,000 in Pick 5 for the fifth time this yearReply
Good Point taken Artist My 25 years of gaming experience has taught me, no game provider will permit a consistent player advantage because in thier mind that wouldn't be gambling; usually they will blantly change the game rules as they did when the MIT Black Jack team broke the code in LV

New $50 Massachusetts Lottery ticket offers "unprecedented" top prize of $1 million a year for lifeReply
I don't know if i'll ever spend even $20 dollars for a scratchoff. I feel sorry for those with gambling addictions. I once paid $10 dollars for a scratchoff and when it showed $20 dollars, I was mad because i'd only won $10. I've probably bought $10 dollar scratchoffs only once or twice since then.

Michigan woman scoops $25,000 a year for life after playing Lucky for Life for the first timeReply
That is the worst feeling when your #'s come in and you didn't play. many years ago driving home from a 12 hour there it was in front of me--018, first three of my SSAN. Had warm fuzzies, did not play and it came in. Loved your comment on lottery getting rich having multiple drawings daily. Imagine living in TX where pick 3 4 and drawn four times/day with the exception of Sundays. Gotta keep those Bible thumpers happy and no gambling that day. OTOH CA had one five # match on PB. I guess

Connecticut Lottery launches new system, players unable to check ticketsReply
Reading this article, it seems that some scratcher players have no idea what the game rules are, to the point where they don't know how to check whether they won anything or not. They drive around looking for machines that can check for a winner when a new system fails in that regard. I went to the Arizona website to try to determine the rules of the different scratcher games, and I couldn't find any! I won't play a game until I know the rules and odds, so I don't play scratchers in Arizona.

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
The good ole bingo hall days .. oh the memories. The powers that be would purposefully serve baked beans every other Thursday evening. Come to find out years later .... The serving of the beans was to weed out the bingo folks from the hardcore gamblers. The police detail left with all the bingo folks due to the poor ventilation. Out comes the industrial fan and then the gambling began.

Massachusetts store clerk indicted after stealing lottery ticket worth $3 million from customerReply
All states are different. Based on what I know about the California Lottery and what I have read, I think even under this scenario the CA Lottery would not pay the claimant. There's a precedent of going out of their way to find the original owner. I agree these are interesting hypothetical scenarios to discuss. For all this talk of bearer instruments, here is the exact legal verbiage on the back of a CA Lottery draw ticket (as of a week ago when I purchased this loser): Your ticket, not

Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winReply
the jackpot would actually be worth $57.8 million. ... there is a top federal income tax rate of 37%. That cuts the cash value amount to around $36.4 million. After spending almost $26 million on every possible number combination, that leaves the purchasing group with a $10 million profit If you spend $26 million in tickets the taxable income from winning $57.8 million is $31.8 million. If you pay 37% tax on every dollar of that you're profit is a hair over $20 million. If it was all taxed
