One Michigan lottery ticket wins $842.4 million Powerball jackpotReply
It's so hard to hit this darn thing! I've been playing 20 years and I never won greater than $50. I'm happy if I just win my money back what I put into it. I let everyone build it up and I won't jump back into play until it crosses $300 million especially now that both national lotteries refuse to start the pot back at $40 million when they raise the price to $2 which I think it was Mega millions only with that idea. They're greedy and it's all set for the secret society to Pocket their fat pock

Powerball welcomes 2024 with an $810 million New Year's Day jackpotReply
That would be the ultimate. Todd I see NJ has Double play, seems to be catching on slowly nationwide. I now play that vs Powerplay because though the top prize is 'only' $1`0 million, I'd be happy with the secondary prize. Though you only get two plays for $3 vs Mega Millions just the jackpot with three chances you get nothing if something were to pop up, say five #'s.

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
There is nothing suspicious about winning a prize in one part of a state and claiming it in another part of the state. Waiting is also not suspicious because they wanted to make sure they had everything in order. In most states one's name has to match identically on both the ID and social security card when claiming a prize at lottery headquarters. A lot of people don't realize this until they get to headquarters and have to file paperwork for new ID's and social security cards with matching nam

$50 million Lotto Max winner refuses to leave job, says company would suffer without himReply
I don't know how the jackpots are paid up there in canada, but if you win the powerball or mega millions here there are 8 to 10 weeks of processing before you see a cent. I would stay working until the money hit the bank and could be accessed.

$1.725 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now 2nd-largest of all timeReply
Exactly, most of us would not touch the number 1-2-3-4-5-6 with a 10 foot pole. 10 thousand people play this number daily. I often wonder how many people are still playing Hurley's lottery number from the TV show LOST. Hurley's number was 4-8-15-16-23-42, four of the six numbers came out in the Mega Millions drawing of $355M. The numbers were: 4-8-15-25-42-47 in 2011. 41,763 people played that number and won $150 each

Everybody has their back on Mega Millions, so am going to sneak in, grab a ticket and thrown in the Megaplier and see if I can scuttle away with the 98M before anybody notices I am totally ok with 98M, I don't mind 405M, but 98M is just as good

$835 MILLION: Powerball jackpot set to deliver ultra-wealthReply
The problem is people have been desensitized to winning $1 million vs. $10 million vs. $100 million vs. $1 billion. If you look at the history of Powerball and Mega Millions, jackpots used to skyrocket much quicker even when the payout was less than $50 million. For one quick example I'll point out the drawing on July 3, 1993 the jackpot was $78.1 million. The very next drawing it went up $33 million up to $111.2 million. This was even when tickets only cost $1 and there was no add on bet. There

$1 million Mega Millions prize won in Iowa will expire in two weeksReply
All to often people, who have never played the lottery buy tickets for the MM and PB. These people don't know the rules of the game. They will check their tickets to see if they are winners. If ALL of their numbers do not match the winning numbers they will throw the tickets away. They do not know that there are smaller prizes to be won by matching less numbers. I find discarded lottery tickets in the parking lot, grocery store, etc. which have been winners of smaller prizes, nothing big yet. A
