$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
Kentucky lottery employees are forbidden from playing in KY. Asked IGT after my issue was resolved (in RI) if they can go to Massachusetts to play. She informed me that IGT employees may not play anywhere. Recollection for TV game shows is that family members may not go on the TV shows. Certainly that bodes true today.

The July 29, 2022 $1.28 Billion jackpot had twice as many tickets sold. It's possible sales for the billion dollar jackpots are down because there is usually only one winning ticket. Both Michigan and Massachusetts discontinued games where when jackpots reached a prize level, the excess money was paid out to secondary prizes. It wasn't the same as having multiple j

California woman who overcame homelessness wins $5 million lottery prizeReply
My favorite kind of story...rags to riches feel good story. Memory says some guy I think in Illinois was still homeless when he won buckets of money on a lottery ticket. OTOH Massachusetts getting closer to having on-line lottery sales. They just passed on-line sports betting. Funny the article had the same argument used here in KY that it would hurt brick and mortar stores. This has been disproven. My goodness, my Puritan minded homestate coming out of 1620 mentality.
