Big game rules??Reply
Some info from the old PlayBigGame.com Web site:The Lottery Directors of the original member states of Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan and Virginia created The Big Game in 1996. Sales for the game began in the previously mentioned states on August 31, 1996. The first drawing took place on September 6, 1996.After successful growth of the game in 1997, a Tuesday drawing was added in February of 1998 and players were given a larger numbers matrix to choose from and a lump sum

Last date drawn web pages
I've added a new section to my web site that shows the dates for the last time balls were drawn. Each page has 3 views - a sequential list of balls and their dates, the balls listed from most recent dates to oldest, and the balls listed from oldest dates to most recent. Right now I just have the Mega Millions part up and I'm working on the Powerball part, but I would appreciate any feedback people may have (are the pages helpful, too much info on one page, not enough info, etc). Anyway, here

Probability of a rollover in PB and MMReply
Actually there are relatively few cases of double and triple winners in these long odds games, particularly in the earlier going when the numbers of tickets sold are relatively low. In any case, a probability is only a probability: Any nonzero probability is still a very real possibility. That is something we all believe since we all play the lottery and there are long odds against us actually winning. (I actually was not aware of the lottoreport site (Thank you!) and have up until now esti

ive never seen so many people worried about tax implications when they havent even won. who cares. when and if someone hits the big one, they should be smart enough to hire a nice big legal team of accountants, lawyers, and financial planner. maybe if you people click on the banners more, todd would hire a tax consultant for this web site to advise everyone. haha. lets be honest-who cares how much taxes you pay, if you are a human, i find it would be hard to blow $90M in cash. whoever wins thi

They Forgot To Post The Lotto Numbers!
Florida's big state game is Lotto, drawn on Wed and Sat. I hesitated posting this at 11:15 and 11:30 and even at 11:45. I kept thinking as soon as I post this comment, the Florida web site will be updated. But it's now after midnight and whoever posted the results for this evening on the Florida Lottery's site forgot to post the Lotto numbers. Note: Fantasy-5 is drawn after Lotto and the game results were posted by 11:35. Well, at least I have Lottery Post. Update: 12:1

Record Jackpots excluding current MegaReply
There is an easy way to correct any table. It's called use a table in the first place . You just posted a bunch of text separated by spaces. It's probably copied and pasted directly from some other web site. You can't possibly expect the style information from some other site to somehow be automatically re-forumlated by Lottery Post.
