$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
This past week, I matched Zero on the Tuesday and Friday MM and matched Zero on the Monday, Wednesday and Saturday PB. But you know what, I am still in it. Will head out and buy my QP for PB - one line three draws and one line two draws for MM. As always adding the extra $1 - total ticket cost is $15 for the week. A 5.9M win after taxes is a life changing amount for me. Hitting 2nd prize would be life changing. Onward we go, one draw at a time.

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
With the addition of the midday drawing in March of last year (and I still say that was a whopper of a mistake on the part of The Florida Lottery. They certainly did NOT do players any favors) there are now 60 to 62 drawings per month. (As opposed to 30 to 31 in the good old days.) That's why all 36 FF5 numbers are usually drawn every month. It's next to impossible for any given number in a set of 36 numbers not to be drawn in 60, 61 or 62 drawings. In the good old days it occasionally happ

$1.3 billion Powerball winner revealed by Oregon Lottery as three people splitting jackpotReply
Sadly, 99.99 percent of lottery winners only prioritize their personal lives and families, and this becomes their primary challenge. When I play the lottery, I have me in mind. I don't play for the benefit of my neighbors or society at large. Once someone duly pays their due taxes, that's all they need to do for society - that's more than enough. They give 37% to society and more depending on the state. Honestly if that's not enought giving to society, I don't know what is. It's the

Lightning strikes twice, better the second time around By Kate Northrop Lightning struck twice for one Virginia woman, who won $1 million on a lottery scratch-off within three years of winning a $100,000 prize in another game. Gayla Guishard did it again, except this year's $1 million win is even more impressive than the $100,000 lottery prize she scooped up in 2021. It was quite the scene at the Race Way gas station on Carrollton Boulevard in Carrollton, where Guishard had found

Alabama Lottery bill falls short by one voteNews Story
Alabama lawmakers sick of indecision following years of debate By Kate Northrop A bill to authorize a state lottery and casinos in Alabama failed by just one vote, the closest the state has ever come to enacting a state lottery since 1999. One vote made the difference in the Alabama legislative session, resulting in voters just barely missing out on seeing a lottery question on the ballot this year. The last time Alabama residents saw a lottery proposal in the voting booth was in
