way more than I need

I believe that the winner or winners are taking their sweet old time before claiming. They must be getting their ducks lined up in a row.

Since most winners choose the Cash we can safely assume that will be the case here.

Hundreds of millions of dollars!!

Didn't New Hampshire and the rest of New England go through a Winter storm? This could delay the winners even more. They might be snowed in and cannot meet with advisers.

So it's off a few million. Who cares when it's that high. Even the starting jackpot is way more than I need.

As far as the jackpot and cash option...it's been explained ad nauseum.

The cash option is the REAL jackpot. But if a winner decides they want an annuity, they can choose to collect over 30 years. Steal what is left over? There IS no left over.

There are even a few scratchoff tickets that offer an annuity, or a cash option.

LOL.

Merrimack, New Hampshire. Does anyone remember the American Civil War's Naval Battle between the Monitor v. Merrimack?

The entire Civil War was a prelude to World War 1. They both consumed men at an alarming rate.

Today America is suffering under a flu epidemic. Thankfully it will not be as bad as the Spanish flu of 1919. Which killed more people worldwide than World War 1 did.

Although I am in California I can still politely request minimal publicity. I will say NO to the celebrity photo shoot and NO to the Media Availability. This is recognizing the World we have today. Criminals continue to wreak it for the rest of us. The Con-artists watch tv, go online, read the paper and prepare to take your money.

Why don't they just wait to see how much money they really took in before they say what the actual Jackpot is?

I don't like the advertised Jackpot and then you have the Cash option!

Isn't it suppose to be just one Jackpot,THE JACKPOT instead of CASH Option.

Sound like to me they want to steal what is left over! LOL

If they can wait until 2:00 AM to post the results.

Surely they can get the money right and post what they took in as well, instead of having an estimated Jackpot and t... [ More ]

Exactly! I found a thread here at LP on it, and I looked into some details. Player must be making money hand over fist from the uninformed public.

..l wonder if that is he's true birth last name, or did he take it on because of he's profession? If he did, he sure knows how to hook them. It's similar to bearing the name Joseph Casket, the mortician.

Of course his method works. He makes money every time some schmuck buys one of his systems .

The winner from New Hampshire will form a trust to remain anonymous. These days, anyone who can remain anonymous will do everything he or she can to remain anonymous.

I lost ($3, may as well win $150k instead of $50k).

I figured it would be a waste, but I wanted to raise the probability of me winning from zero to non-zero.

Hey BuyLow, You're right!

There was a Powerball winner on 7/30/16 from Raymond, NH who won $487M!

They claimed it as the Robin Egg 2016 Nominee Trust . Pictured are their attorneys.

I wondered the same thing, and I went immediately to his web site as I know he would have posted it right away, but there was nothing there. I'm sure he was playing strong, but the ticket sale was out of his travel path.

Congrats to the winning ticket holder(s).

It amazes me that nobody won either MM or PB for 23 draws and then both are won back-to-back in the same week.

Also, the NYS Lotto ($9.2 mil) was won (non-qp) on Saturday as well as the CT Lotto ($1.7 mil) being won on Tuesday 1/2/18.

Reeds Market, just a typical Mom n Pop store in northern New England. Hopefully it is one of their regulars who stops for coffee or some other beverage everyday. For those of us that have or still do frequented these lil places, on a daily basis in our communities, we appreciate the clerks and know how much that extra $75K will mean to the owners.

Congratulations to the winners of Power Ball and Mega Millions! When will they come forward and accept their prizes? Were the tickets quick pick or not? Could the winners be members of Lottery Post

One lottery ticket from New Hampshire wins $559.7 million Powerball jackpot

Lottery Post — Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:59:47 GMT

By Todd Northrop

One Powerball ticket holder in New Hampshire is the winner of the $559.7 million jackpot prize, the 8th-largest in US lottery history.

The winning numbers, drawn Saturday night, were 12, 29, 30, 33, and 61, with Powerball number 26. The Power Play number was 3.

The owner of the winning ticket can choose the annuity option in which 30 payments are made over 29 years, with each annual payment increasing over time. Most, however, choose the cash option. In this case, take
