Kentucky $167.3 million Powerball jackpot winner will serve out his sentenceReply
My roommate served for sixteen years on the KY Parole Board. If this happened while on his term, he wouldn't tell me anything about it stating it's against State law. We were @ odds with child abuse cases. I couldn't discuss the kids I sometimes had to extubate (terminally) and he couldn't tell me with Defendant was up for parole. So I fixed everything a long time ago since I knew all seven board members. Simply said 'Child abuse=serve out'. This guy will probably be back behind bars in

Two Illinois friends prove coworkers wrong after splitting $350,000 Lucky Day Lotto jackpotNews Story
You're never going to win. Naysayers eat their words By Kate Northrop A pair of friends didn't let the doubt from their coworkers stop them from giving up hope for a big lottery win, and their perseverance paid off to the tune of a $350,000 Lucky Day Lotto jackpot. Two coworkers didn't let the other employees at work phase them with their low expectations for winning the lottery, and their choice to ignore the naysayers eventually landed them a $350,000 Lucky Day Lotto win.

I accidentally hit it a third time. graduation year becomes lucky numbers By Kate Northrop A $2 mistake while purchasing some Pick 5 lottery tickets ended up becoming the happiest accident yet for one Maryland woman, who won a $150,000 prize in a single drawing because of it. An occasional Maryland lottery player had a mishap while purchasing her Pick 5 tickets that cost her $2, but in reality, the transaction could not have gone any better, save for buying more tickets of course.

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
I always played the Cash 4 Life for $2.00 and liked it, but never won much with it. I won way more through Match 6, and smaller games like Pick 3 and Pick 4. That is the only way I will be playing a $5.00 game mostly, if I have a bunch of other winning tickets. $5.00 is too much to lose, and for $10.00 you only get two tickets which are almost guaranteed to lose, when you could get 10 other $1.00 tickets instead, or 5 $2.00 tickets. But the payout is much better at about $750,000 a year, or

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
Since FL is not jumping on the $5/ticket bandwagon, I guess I'll just have to miss Cash For Life. Just barely missed two 2 second prizes in Dec 2024. Only game that has reasonable odds to win enough money to be comfortable for a long time. I wouldn't be able to afford the $25 a draw to pick a set of numbers everyday and cover all the Cash Balls like I can do for $8 now, so I might have only played one ticket 3 or 4 times a week. HOWEVER...they could raise the jackpot as they have and le

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
Hmmm...a lot of players are only seeing the $5 ticket cost. What I'm seeing is that I can go for $1,000,000 per year for life or $18,000,000 lump sum at any time without having to wait for it to build up to that level. On top of that the odds are ten times better than Mega Millions or Powerball. No other game in Michigan will let you do that with no waiting(other than for the daily draw time). To get a full week of Powerball and mega millions tickets is $16 to $22 depending on option

Pennsylvania Lottery releases its own Cash Pop draw gameReply
I had another interaction with Cash Pop in Pennsylvania yesterday. I played a mix of Match6, Powerball, P3 and P4 on a vending machine. I fed my slips in and while it was cranking my tickets out, the screen pops up and says my free ticket had been generated. I didn't know I had a free ticket coming. When I sorted through the tickets after I got home, there was a Cash Pop ticket among them. I had played $4 in P3 and apparently playing a P3 generates a chance you'll get a free Cash Pop QP. Wha

Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply
1-MM should bring the price back down to $1. You want wide public participation in this type of game to pump the jackpot up. 2-most of lottery players are low-income people. 3-play the game three times / week like PB has done (T-R-Sun). 4-$1 price wouldn't make people to think twice about spending money to play the 1:292M odds (I'll try my luck with chump changes). 5-take 45% cut of the jackpot instead of 60% (return some of the money back to those initial jackpots).
