Nebraska Lottery will join Lotto America in MayReply
Lotto America is run by MSLU, the Powerball people. Supposedly, it replaced the Hot Lotto game which was destroyed by Eddie Tipton who programmed winning numbers in for relatives, friends, and eventually himself when he worked for the lottery, and was caught and sent to jail. The Lotto America game was supposed to be a ball drawn game when they started it and was drawn in private after the Powerball drawing. No actual video of such a drawing ever took place that I know of and the game seemed to

Michigan man wakes up and discovers $25,000 a year for life Lucky for Life prizeNews Story
Wife says go back to sleep, you're just dreaming By Kate Northrop A Michigan man had to rub his eyes just to be sure he was seeing correctly when he woke up and found out that he had won $25,000 a year for life in the multi-state game Lucky for Life. It was an early and hazy morning for Matt Swindall, 45, of Dearborn Heights, who checked his phone bleary-eyed upon waking up. What he saw on his screen wasn't just a dream it was reality. I got up early to get ready to head up nor

New England's 'Lucky for Life' game to gain second lifetime prizeReply
sure, the 2nd prize will now have some appeal. however they greedily expanded the field from 40-43 and the lucky number from 21-43 which pretty much eliminates any chance of winning it. that along with hefty 2.00 price tag further makes this a bad play for anyone over the age of 40. you would be better off trying to snag the 2nd place prize in powerball than this. without substantiated proof it seems most players who play these types of games are over 40. this game has not caught on at all in th

N.C. man wins two $25,000 a year for life prizes after accidentally playing same numbers twiceNews Story
The accidental purchase of two identical Lucky for Life tickets in Saturday's drawing produced not one but two $25,000 a year for life prizes for a very lucky North Carolina man. I was just laying in bed watching a basketball game on TV and I couldn't remember if I filled it out or not, said Scotty Thomas, a 49-year-old dump truck operator from Fayetteville. I went ahead and filled it out again and the next morning my son asked why there were two different amounts listed. I realized, 'I thin

Retailer mistake helps Illinois man win $25,000 a year for life in Michigan LotteryReply
I do but it depends on your age to play that really difficult Lucky For LIfe game. Not for older people at all. I don't believe the prize is good enough for 1-48 + 1-18 lucky ball for a 2.00 bet. 1000.00 a day for life sounds good on paper for someone under 40 maybe. The lump sum option is too low. I see you are opting out of Megabucks because of the 2.00 price unless it gets to 5 million which it rarely will now. I am all in on that one now since they reduced the matrix by 5. I foresee a 1.4m j
