$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
I thought a lottery ticket is a bearer's instrument (it is written so on the back of many tickets). Some basic vetting is appropriate (i.e., where when did you buy this ticket?), but police interviews, checking the store's video feed, waiting months to award you the money, etc.) is way over-the-top. It seems like nowadays they (the state lotteries) can potentially come up with any reason for refusing to give you the money you won, and I think that's way too much power for them when in fact WE (l

Accidental lottery ticket purchase nets Maryland couple $2 million in PowerballReply
Our self serve machines do not have replay feature either if that's what you're talking about. Our clerks can replay your tickets for you. Naturally I wrote IGT (physical letter, no e-mail) suggestion that the machines be equipped with a replay feature...naturally this shareholder never got a reply. However years before that I wrote them in Las Vegas and said I had won several jackpots on their WOF slot machines. They sent me a very nice WOF with IGT on the back.

$935 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
I feel this pot going to climb into the top 3 Maybe, but it needs to almost double, to about 1.815 billion to be in the real top 3, based on the current cash:annuity ratio. It will reach a billion by Saturday for sure. That would require actual sales to be almost twice as much as the original forecast. Call me crazy, but I think that seems just a tiny bit unlikely. Considering the odds are even higher for mega millions than they are for Powerball ... The very high odds for

$865 MILLION: Powerball jackpot reaching historic levelsReply
I've been playing for 20 years! I'm happy if I just matched the 5 Mega ball with Mega Plier and go off into the sunset. For the life of me I don't understand why people will still play after winning $10 million or $100 million jackpots from the lottery. I know several people who won millions of dollars but they continue to play. Don't they know they beat tremendous odds. Hey but their stories of people who got struck by lightning twice in the same spot. I seen some crazy odds of like 1 in a tril

California Lottery announces group as winners of historic $1.765 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Cash value has been less than 50% for a while .. since interest rates started shooting up (big change from the COVID days of 83% :) But the hight interest rates is why the jackpots are so high (the return on annuity investments is earning a lot more.. 30 yr government bonds are over 4% now vs not much more than 2% during COVID

Accusations of "disturbing" new claims procedures after Allwyn sends investigator to winner's homeReply
If Amelia Barnham won large jackpots, I could understand the National Lottery carrying out checks to ensure everything was above board. But as Amelia won 23,600 (US$30,206) in small prizes over time. It seems like an overreaction.

Mega Millions and Powerball offer $1.11 billion in combined lottery jackpotsReply
I enjoy the large jackpots. Would thoroughly enjoy winning one and giving to charities, a few family members and very few close friends or people who I know could use a helping hand. It's very socialistic of you billybucks to speak for everyone but you are living in nah nah land thinking on what all people want , should have or can't be responsible for .... Maybe in your Utopian world this happens. Thank goodness, I don't have to live my life by your beliefs and have the opportunity to exceed...

No one wants these huge jackpots. You may think you do but it is too much money to be responsible for. You say give me a chance and I will prove you wrong. I will invest it and make much more with it. Why, I say would you need more. Reduce the matrix of numbers back to where it was originally. You can still have your power play which is a rip off by the way but that seems popular. We need more people winning less amounts. Hundred of millions of dollars sitting in some investment firms coffers af
