Is it possible Religion has something to do with it? Michigan has lots of Muslims, I don't believe they are allowed to gamble. If it is against the Religion, maybe afraid to claim.

Muslim scholars agree that it is acceptable or even commendable for Muslims to participate in healthy challenges, competitions, and sports. It is forbidden, however, to be involved with any betting, lottery, or other games of chance. There is some disagreement about whether raffles should be included in the de... [ More ]

Nettie is a good friend from Cincinnati. Her and boyfriend have been down here for Christmas dinner, things like that. May see them next weekend. She gets kind of obsessed with the numbers so another reason I hadn't played.

Who is she and why does she call you with lotto numbers? A crazy aunt, a service where you pay a subscription fee to get a few calls every month, something else...

It was close to 10 years ago that she called and said play 911 and didn't===came in.

One time driving home 018 was in front of me on the KY tag...first part of my SSAN...didn't play, came in.

I rarely, almost never, play pick 3 or pick 4.

What she does is keeps track of OH #'s where she lives and GA where her Sister lives and KY where one of her Brothers lives and somehow watches them and deduces when they will hit. She really isn't all that accurate, however that being said next time... [ More ]

Why play if you're so neglectful? Also, I believe you have to be worthy of winning a claimer amount, sometimes karma fate have a big part in it.

How Many Of These Phone Calls With Numbers To Play Do You Get?

And How Many Of These Numbers Do You Actually Play?

Say In A Week Or Month.

With stories like these am always hoping the player never finds out about throwing away a million dollars.

Yesterday received a phone call to play 444 in KY. Did I play...NO, did it come in...yes. They paid out just over $1.1 million last night.

It's a common Internet thing (tagged news stories/searching by tag), so not really something I've focused on a help article about. Here's a Wikipedia article that describes tags: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_(metadata

You have to be in it to win it as the saying goes. But evidently being in it here and winning means nothing. Oh well

Thanks Todd: I haven't seen Tag used before, so I thought I'd ask, but not before searching the Help Forum, and not finding any Reference to Tag or its uses.

Nope, it's been there as long as news stories have been published here for more than 16 years. (Which is a gold mine, since you can easily research topics with one mouse click.)

Look on the right side of any news story. You'll see the tags for that story. Click a tag to see more stories that use the same tag.

Or, go to the Tag Cloud (near the top of the Resources menu) to see and select from all the available tags.

Indeed, a review of Lottery Post's past news stories on the subject reveals many unclaimed prize stories:

It s because no one even won $1 Million outside of state officials so how can any one claim

l for one am not surprised. Michiganders have lots of disposal income, missing a million dollars here there is no biggie.

Thanks to www.usamega.com for listing Michigan State tax at 4.25% in the Jackpot Analysis.

Add 4.25% + 37% Federal rate = 41.25% total taxes on an annuity. On a Lump Sum the prize will be reduced some more.

Before deductions and taxes. $1,000,000.00 = 20 years X $50,000.00 per year.

That little piece of paper has claimed $1.6 Billion dollars American. Players! Wake up.

Third $1 million lottery prize goes unclaimed in Michigan this year

Lottery Post — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 13:07:41 GMT

Michigan residents apparently aren't checking their lottery tickets, as a $1 million prize went unclaimed on Thursday for the third time this year, the state lottery said.

The lottery reported the ticket expired at 4:45 p.m. and was purchased at the Speedway gas station located at 10070 Highland Road in Hartland. The money now goes to the state School Aid Fund, the lottery said.

In Michigan, Powerball tickets are valid for one year after the drawing date. (A list of lottery ticket expirati... [ More ]
