New Jersey based group turned the odds to win in their favor By Kate Northrop Around this time one year ago, the Texas Lottery's Lotto Texas jackpot was bursting at the seams, boasting the game's third-largest prize ever at a mouthwatering $95 million.

One New Jersey ticket is sole winner of $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
isn't a bonus check only handed out if the prize is claimed? I'm pretty sure that's how it works in some states, but not all of them. I've never understood why a retailer should get paid thousands of times as much for selling one ticket than any other ticket, but if they're going to do it at all I don't see why collecting the prize matters.

Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
I don't get the church part but I was in a non chain convenience store last year and it had a large slot machine type machine. A guy playing was in a manic state playing over and over. It was sad. Maybe people are bargaining with God in Church for a big win and then go nearby to a retailer?

Accusations of "disturbing" new claims procedures after Allwyn sends investigator to winner's homeReply
That is comforting to hear. I am also a very random type of player, I don't pledge allegiance to one store. I buy my tickets in random places as I go about my errands. Sometimes I see this wine and spirits retailer and I walk in and buy a ticket. It maybe hard to remember all the places. Another example is when am on road trips, when I stop for gas I get a ticket or two. If I won and they asked me the name of the store, I would have a hard time lol
