$1.25 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot set to deliver unimaginable wealthReply
Looking at the top 25 list, I don't see Texas on there in the top 25 Annuity or Cash Value at all, as a Jackpot winner. New York has nothing in the top 10. PA has nothing.The current list shows winners from TN, SC and Maine in 3 of the Top 4 all time Jackpots that have been won. None of those states even have 3% of the nations population in them according to https://www.infoplease.com/us/states/state-population-by-rank Might have to respectively disagree with you on your analysis of small s

$1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot hits milestone for 3rd timeReply
Nice article as usual Todd Kate. On Paragraph #7 had addressed this before. Kentucky has on-line purchases for MM PB and a slew of other losing propositions. Please fix this! Anyway best of luck LP members on these massive jackpots.

$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseReply
Another record Jackpot and only Three second prize winners! It's hard to get excited when nobody wins. I have one ticket for Monday when I may have had ten on previous versions of the game that had Jackpots up to $400 million. For me it is losing fatigue and watching the number of second prizes plummet over the cliff. Nobody wins and everyone is starting to notice finally.

$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseReply
Over 10 years ago I wrote what I would clear by winning the lottery way before the jackpots were big. I haven't consistently played the lottery like I use to since the Hot Lotto fraud scandal. I chalked up me buying lottery tickets as a way to fund those sharp criminals that find a way to collect money from the poor. Since I was reminded a few times of my goal recently it gave me the urge to play again. Here I am, I will try my luck 1 more time. If it works good if not it will certainly remi

VIDEO: July's Weekly Roundup in lottery newsReply
It's actually the ninth-largest Powerball jackpot ever This seems to disagree: 21. Mega Millions: $347.6 million cash, Dec. 17, 2013 ($648 million annuity) - California, Georgia 22. Powerball: $341.7 million cash, Jul. 30, 2016 ($487 million annuity) - New Hampshire 23. Powerball: $340.9 million cash, Jul. 10, 2023 ($675 million annuity) - Preliminary estimate, not won yet Despite the bump, it's still smaller than 14 other PB jackpots, although I suspect the final tally will move i

Colorado lottery winner's first order of business after winning $5M: buy watermelon and flowersNews Story
Lucky winner has priorities in check By Kate Northrop A Colorado man's priorities after winning a $5 million Colorado Lottery's Colorado Lotto+ jackpot were clear buy a watermelon for himself and some flowers for his wife. Some lottery players might scratch their heads wondering why one Colorado man made a point to say that a watermelon was the first thing he sought to buy after winning $5 million in the lottery, but the reason is a rather sweet one.

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
I am so confused by this. It takes the California lottery from October 16 2023 to March 29 2024 (165 days) to verify the winner and collect the money to give the winner their payment ? I have never heard of this before even with previous major jackpot winners in other states and California. I can understand keeping the privacy for lottery winners. But I don t like the lack of transparency from the lottery and generic answers or talking around the question. It s just like how Powerba

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
I think we got so blinded by the billion dollar jackpots people think that 1M is loose change. For the second prize winners that live in a state that doesn't tax the lottery that's 630K after taxes. 630K won't necessarily buy you a mansion or a yatch, but 630K can leave someone debt free and a little towards retirement. 630K is not an amount to be frowned upon. That's my attitude towards the game.

$975 MILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againReply
Like they say, you have to be in it to win it On that note, I got my one PB with PP and my one MM with the multiplier. Who said that 36M is not a significant amount. The around 10M after taxes is a lot of money - let's not pretend that our lives can only be changed by 100M I would still buy a ticket if the jackpots reset at 10M. Good luck to all.
