Happy New Year!Reply
Happity happity nude year to all! Did everyone have a happy new year? Hey the last person to post after tonites drawing is suspect for being the jackpot winner. Or should I say the lottery post member that doesn't post after tonites drawing is very likely the winner. So much for anonymity, huh? P.U. who cut the fondue? I know somebody on this board did, just admit it whoever you are.

Editorial: Study of lottery winners still receiving food stamps is flawed but raises good pointsReply
Yeah, I was trying to be funny but, truth is I never read the editorial in the first place and had I took the time to see who the editorial author was, I never would have posted what I posted. I suffer from foot in mouth disease occasionally. And in this case I want to sincerely apologize to Kate, Todd and the members of lottery post. I messed up this time . Sorry one and all.

$1.725 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now 2nd-largest of all timeReply
The amusing thing is people thinking there is some kind of coordination or special thought given to the number published. Most of the time it's just some developer who when the site is first being created asks, how many decimal places should I round it off to?

It's not like some lottery executive is plotting and planning to put 1.72 billion on their website because th

$925 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
It's sad that one would get depressed just because the person next to you has more money - that is why some people get stuck in the hamster wheel forever. I have not won a jackpot, but if I do and it's a big one, I think spending anything between 10K to 20K a month should suffice. I don't plan to keep up with the Kardashians, I don't need a Lamborghini or a Rolls Royce to make a statement. But I hear money corrupts, so I won't be so snip sure lol.

$70 million Michigan Powerball winner says lottery winners should be able to remain anonymousReply
I'm not sure I'm understanding why all the harsh arguing is happening, because all the anonymity rules by state are specified right here on Lottery Post: https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/326232 When a state's anonymity laws get updated, we update the list. (As an aside, it's not really a good idea to screenshot a Google results page, because the quotes they offer on their site often leave out other important contextual information from the website they are quoting.) It's hard to tell
