Apr 12, 2006, 9:54 am (25 comments)
Its starnge how if you got the 5 numbers in texas with the megaplier you walk away with a cool million, but the same 5 numbers in California are only worth $68,647.....
7-21-43-44-49 PB 29.
Hey does anyone know what the story is on something about a lotto ticket that a player cashed in and the clerk told him it wasnt a winner then turned out to be worth like over 500,000??? He saw himself on the news purchasing it and the Lottery Office felt that something was not right when the clerk tried to claim it and they pulled the tapes to look. My friend was telling me about this and I was lost had no clue and cannot find a article on it ...

The law in California that was written to establish the lottery states that all prizes are pari-mutuel, so that is the way ALL California prizes are awarded, not just Mega Millions.
It has worked both ways: sometimes (like this drawing) the prize is lower than the other states, but sometimes it is much higher. For example, there have been people who matched 5+0 and were awarded more than a million dollars.
I don't think those people are complaining about the pari-mutuel prizes in California.
hehe!
Thank you Mega for the rolling this time ..tomorrow, I have a job interview and I'm so nervous ! the jumping just releases me a litte bit ...oh yah!
I will go to Albertson's and bring home 5 bucks tickets to reward myself after the interview...ec..ec!!!
I don't know how much CA winner will receive after all procedures with the jackpot, but the good news is no state taxon Lottery ? That sounds good!???

853,492 Powerball Tickets to Expire!
Two Powerball tickets worth an incredible $853,492 each will expire soon if the winners do not step forward. One ticket was purchased on October 19, 2005 at Hebron BP, 2144 Kilgore Place, Hebron, Kentucky. The other missing ticket was purchased in Littleton, Colorado. Both tickets were purchased for the October 19, 2005 Powerball drawing worth $340 million. The winners of the missing tickets matched the first five white ball numbers to win Powerball's second tier prize of $200,000. The tickets also shared in the Match 5 Bonus prize pool, winning an additional $653,492 each for the total prize of $853,492! The winning numbers for the October 19, 2005 Powerball drawing were: 7-21-43-44-49 PB 29. The last date to claim the tickets is April 17. Holders of the winning tickets should contact either the Kentucky Lottery headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, or the Colorado Lottery headquarters in Pueblo, Colorado

I thought that was the kind of deal I was getting when clerk checked my ticket and said "This is not a winner sweet heart" crumbled it and throw it in the trash quickly. I was shocked because I already checked the ticket and was trying to cash in. I asked her to retrieve it from the trash and I took it home and saw I picked up the wrong ticket by mistake

I don't know specifically about this one, but I do know that before having a clerk throw away a ticket or cash it for less than what it's worth, all players should have the clerk run the ticket through the machine. They're supposed to anyway before they can give anything back. I should know. I used to be a clerk at a gas station that sold tickets. I, as a clerk, always checked the trash in case a player made a mistake, and I did find a $10 winner from a scratch-off one time. The player threw it out on his own with no help from me and was already gone by the time I got to it. Make the clerk check the machine!
There's a MegaMillions billboard showing the jackpot right on the way for us to get our PowerBall tickets. Since we usually go on Saturday, I always squeal when I see that no one hit it (that is since it's not us that night) I like BIG numbers... especially when they have *Millions* after it!
And as far as people throwing away their tickets, if we're not sure we'll have the clerk run it through, but Muffin and I almost always pass the tickets back and forth to make sure that they were double checked. Haven't missed a good winner yet!
I think the next Mega Millions hitter is going to be SASSARI!!!!

Where's the news story for the updated $265 million jackpot? There's no reason why there isn't one (never mind this was Easter weekend).
