sorry but I dont want anyone kissing a ticket that I just bought! (unless its Johnny Depp!). Got an issue with germs as it is.

Didnt get riled up by this article so much as the arrogance of the woman saying she JUST KNEW she won it since she bought it there. Like no one else bought tickets there before her.

I am neither congradulatory or envy her. She has alot of things to consider with her wealth....

I don't play QP usually I use algorithms. I don't play 10 tickets on a jackpot under 100M. Sometimes my prg. gives out weird numbers like that and I play them because the prg. is not prejudiced about numeric distributions on ball-drawings as opposed to computerized drawings like Hot Lotto. The thing is, weird sets DO come out, and they come out less often because they are of a smaller group of combinations such as 22 and higher for the sheer reason that excluding the first 21 balls greatly reduc...

Congrats to the women who won! I wished all states would allow winners to have the choice to claim their prizes anonymously.

Me, too. I can't speak in front of more than 3 or 4 people much less put the shock of winning the jackpot into the mix! My mouth would open and just hang there and my legs would start shaking....I'd be tempted to turn tail and run - with my giant cardboard check

Oh and congrats to this lady, at least she had enough sense to take advantage of Maryland's anonymity laws and decided to leave her name out of the news and stay away from the media. Guess she doesn't have a need to call up the media to alert them she won and advertise her religion, if she's religious that is.

Yes, that was a diss on ol'whatshisname.

It's about 10 million dollars with taking the cash option and taking off the initial taxes and yes, that is a lot of money.

Most jackpot winners are from quick/quik/easy picks

I believe the winning numbers to this JP was 22-23-28-49-52------ 2.

All numbers are potential winners until the draw shows them to be worthless. But I'm just wondering..putting that idea away, what would your first thought be if you were handed this combo on say a single qp ticket.

Good numbers! I'm so going to win!

UG these numbers are horrible!

I'm going to think positive and who knows!..They just might win me a few bucks.

I always seem to think very negative, esp. i... [ More ]

I'd probably be just like her! Holding the oversized lottery check so tight my hands would be bleeding! LOL Big eyed and fumbling over my words.

I'm almost scared to win the lottery because I'd be in such shock, I'd look and talk like an idiot! What would you all do? Do you think you can remain calm and explain in detail the moment you realized your ticket was the winner? All with a beautiful smile on your face...

OR...

Stand there staring like a deer in headlights to all the lights an... [ More ]

Maryland must allow their winners to remain anonymous.A lot of other states could learn from this.There is no reason to announce the winners name.

A 49-year-old woman and her daughter came to Maryland Lottery headquarters Monday carrying a locked safe. Inside was the $24 million Mega Millions winning ticket from last Tuesday's drawing.

As she sat hugging her oversized check, the winner told Lottery officials her story.

The winner almost didn't purchase the ticket that ultimately made her a multi-millionaire.

I went to the store to play a $5 Quick Pick ticket, she told Lottery officials. After running the $5 playslip through the t... [ More ]
