Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
The reason for this unusual # of winners is not the layout of the slip but the winning numbers being straight down on some of those arrangements. And since each drawing is independent of the others with each combination having the exact same probability, any pattern, if it's been shared by multiple states has the potential for a similar scenario.

$110,000 Michigan Lottery Fantasy 5 Double Play winner has one month left to claimReply
This Double Play winner from the May 15, 2025, drawing has until 4:45 p.m. EST on May 15, 2026, to claim at Lottery HQ in Lansing with an appointment via 844-887-6836. Plenty of time if they've got the ticket stashed somewhere safe. Lotterologist's spot on about folks tossing them; I've seen it happen with those small-print add-ons confusing players who forget they played the second draw. Unclaimed, it all funnels straight to the School Aid Fund, so either way Michigan wins, but I'd love to hear

EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
With regard to the last paragraph, I remember watching the DC Lottery drawings when they used balls. It was much more entertaining the first time I saw the computerized drawing on TV, I stopped watching the drawings on TV. Even though I live in a RNG lottery state, I go onto the Texas Lottery website every once in a while to watch their live drawings.

EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
An all-singles Pick 5 drawing has a huge player advantage. Why didn't you guys play it and say nothing and profit as long as possible? Let them figure it out when their cheaper RNG system actually costs them money instead of saving money.

EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
Glad they fixed it because you can't really win much money playing box unless it's a double, triples, quads or Quints. Feel bad for everybody who threw away majority of the losing tickets. Hopefully DC now starts playing some favorable more popular combinations since they took everybody money for three weeks and won't be liable for all the losing tickets thrown away. Hopefully every state lottery can go to a live drawing. Similar to NC, VA, NY etc

Retired North Carolina farmer played "in every drawing" for 10 years, wins $2M Powerball prizeReply
No, it may seem like the guy broken even when he played every draw for 10 years. He actually came out ahead. He won 2 million dollars and most likely took the lump sum which is $944,713.00. If he just purchased one Poweball ticket for each drawing for 10 years that would add up to only $2,880.00. He is smiling ALL the way to the bank

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
it was the first time a big winner was amongst the rejected pile. I think I remember a similar story in the past, but it's not a good enough memory to be very confident. Memory aside, probability suggest that it would he been for a smaller amount prize. I'm obviously not a lawyer but it's pretty obvious that the ticket belongs to the store. It was unsold at the time of the draw therefore the store had to buy it. I agree, but primarily for a different reason.According to the firs

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
* l am on a different flight here. At the TIME of the drawing who owned the unclaimed tickets? Was it the store or was it up for grabs? Is it legal for one to enrich themselves through deception?
