I don't care about non residents winning. In fact, I've got some good wins from Va CT. Just saying it hurts a little when that happens. FYI, i know a few hard working illegals from Ecuador and if they won i would give them any advice they need.

Good for him! Get it where you can. I'm in PA and wondered if it would be snyone I knew.

I guess not.

It doesn't bother me that someone from another state won. It's just nice to see anyone

win that much money.

Well, the lottery in any state is open to anyone willing to part with the dollars to purchase said ticket. If you feel that way about a non-resident winning in your state, I wonder how you feel when an illegal undocumented alien wins?!!! Yeah, that one sucks because they usually collect the money and then scamper back across the border to their home country...taking your and my dollars with them.

Yes, I did save the five losing tickets. You do save quite a bit with season tickets; however you're stuck (as you know) with the same #'s, plus you can't get Megaplier or Powerplay. I had the computer pick the #'s for this former Hollistonian. When are the new lottery machines going to be installed?? Was disappointed those old blue dinosaurs still in existence! I came this close to winning $7500 on the Platinum quick hit machines

Good luck in your season tickets. I've not decided if I will be getting any. I live here so it's convenient either way I choose to play.

I haven't played any of those $20 or $30 scratch offs. I consider them a money grab by MA lottery. Once a year I'll buy one $10 scratch off. Be sure to enter the second chance drawing for supreme millions. Good luck!

I haven't been to the casino either. I hope to go soon.

Good for him but the poor Pa players got screwed again. Everyone probably thought their neighbor might be the winner, not some out of State trucker. He should change his cb handle to Road Thief.

Hey Maringoman,

Just returned from home...bought my Season Tickets for Lucky for Life, Mega Millions and MegaBucks Doubler. Got them in Hyannis. A friend told me to stop by Plymouth which regrettably didn't and see several winners there on the website. Bought five Supreme Millions tickets...all supreme losers! Really enjoyed the new casino in Plainridge too. I too buy tickets in all the states I visit. Someone's gotta win... might as well be me! Good luck to you

Congrats to Steve and if he still likes to drive something big to fit his budget this looks like a starter vehicle and he won't have to drive under the pressure of making a living. He could even afford a luxury travel bus that would offer more living space.

Hope he spends and invests wisely.
