The few occasions when I actually play is only for entertainment purposes. I may have a wild dream about what I would do with all that wealth but that is where it ends.

You have to believe in the intangible in order to win a lottery jackpot Someday.

Didn't really mean it that way. I just find it amusing that many people get bent out of shape when they hear that it was a first timer that won a major lottery prize. I don't expect to win a jackpot in my lifetime so there will be no boasting from me but I will still occasionally play.

I don't understand why you do such a thing. Lying to people to get your jollies off doesn't make sense to me. Isn't it enough joy to know you beat the odds and won millions of dollars? On top of that, you have to taunt people who play on a regular basis too?

When the jackpots are reset, MM at 15 mil and PB at 40 mil, it's the people who play on a consistent basis that makes the lotteries viable.

She doesn't look like a BS'er to me. Nothing in her body language would indicate she is shifty. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt but if she started talking about selling me something, that's another story.

I've been playing the lottery for years and I haven't won much but I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility someone could win the first time playing a game.

It also doesn't matter if you been playing for years or i... [ More ]

I would have said the same thing had it been me. We all know it's BS but it would be fun to hear the reaction of all the people who play everyday.

The winner claims this was the first time she's ever played Powerball. I smell BS

Thanks but if I was really that smart I would have matched 6 of 6 in Ohio's Classic Lotto by now, after all the odds of doing that are only 1 in 14 millions.

No one in the nation came up with all five winning core numbers so even the best LP predictors had a task beyond their skills. Better luck next time LP members.

Good for you. I only have a problem with the 3 usual states that win too often. Some here just can't and won't get it, that when the same places win consistently, it turns off a lot of people to play the MM or PB. I am sure the usual ones will be along to tell me differently.

I should have spend $176M to win that $90M Powerball lottery jackpot.

You are the smartest lottery post member for matching 5 out of 6 in Ohio classic lotto by picking your own numbers

Comment #32

You should be thankful to have California and Florida in multi state games.They support the big jackpots by buying the most tickets.

Comment #31

THRIFTY — Wed, 03 Dec 2014 15:42:48 GMT

I do not a problem with anybody winning in any state, because they spent the money to play.

Who is going to contribute to the next Powerball Jackpot

I will make sure to buy 1 MM ticket. Thanks

Spend more money and PA will be next.

Lottery players are not spending big Money on MM. Poweball $2 ticket prize makes it a premium lottery game.

How is it a personal attack when no one mentioned you? It was a joke that took a jab at every conspiracy person who's ever ranted and raved on Lottery Post. No one was targeting you specifically because guess what, you weren't even on our minds until you posted in the thread. You need to get over yourself. Not every thing is about you. You're the one trying to make yourself the center of attention not us.

The same few trashing a whole topic, and personally attacking like usual. Attack what is being brought up, not the person saying it.

Congrats to the lucky winner.

Hey remember, he's at the center of the universe. So of course everything is about him and only him. You know you wake up in the morning and your first thought is how can I screw this guy over? He's just that important. Reminds me of an old Carly Simon tune.

As a reply to one of your 'it's always California' posts I gave you a link to the winners galleries pages at MM.

You said that gallery was a 'lie'.

With this post you also proved that pathological liars never have as good a memory as they need to.

And do try to use some original thought instead of lifting what people say and trying to make it appear that you said it.

Get the drift???

Must be feeling guilty.

LOL.

What are you talking about? What about winners galleries? Speaking of inconsistent, try to be more specific on what you're whining about. If you have such a problem with a differing point of view about things, just ask me to nicely leave, or would that be too difficult

Comment #18

pickone4me — Wed, 03 Dec 2014 02:41:16 GMT

No, but I get the drift who they're mocking though...Which I thought was a no no...I guess rules are applied differently to some here.

Good luck to the winners of that 90M JP. It would almost be enough to retire on after taxes... almost.

Goon, after my MM or PB jackpot win, I'll probably assess my situation a few months afterwards and give feedback.

That could easily happen if some of the members are as smart as they think they are when it comes to picking winning combinations. Good Luck LP members.

Congratulation to the winner/s.........

Interesting statement coming from you...in the past you insisted it was 'always' California and when directed to the winners galleries on the PB and MM website you claimed they were lies.

Consistency is not your forte.

shadowlady — Tue, 02 Dec 2014 14:53:19 GMT

Hey, I'm happy it wasn't from California or Florida.

But congratulations to the winner, and I hope they invest it wisely, and be careful with their spending (i.e. not go hog-wild and buy a lear jet or something ridiculous like that).

That was uncalled for.

Nobody mentioned you.

I see the usual ones are being asses. I have no problem with a state that gets its first jackpot win.

Thank You Todd for the update. A Mega Millions win by a LP member on Tuesday night will be welcome here.

That Power Play makes a huge difference when you match 5 + 0 especially knowing that they'll tax that win to the bone. PB is becoming a winners game and I'm hoping they don't change it. MM isn't churning out millionaires every week

Washington player wins $90 million Powerball jackpot

Lottery Post — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 22:29:11 GMT

By Todd Northrop

One lottery ticket holder matched the winning Powerball numbers on Nov. 29, 2014, winning the $90 million multi-state jackpot.

The winning ticket was purchased in Washington state, according to Lottery officials.

The Powerball winning numbers drawn for Saturday, Nov. 29 were 13, 24, 30, 42, and 48, with Powerball number 27. The Power Play number was 2.

In addition to the jackpot winner, two ticket holders in the multi-state lottery game matched 5 numbers, which paid
