$1.3 million Jersey Cash 5 lottery jackpot unclaimed for almost a yearReply
So true.. I still think about the New Jersey 1.3 Billion dollar Mega Millions ticket for the March 26, 2024 drawing, that went unclaimed and expired on March 27, 2025. All to often people purchase lottery tickets then throw them in the glove box of their car or a shoe box in their home and forget all about the ticket until it is too late.

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
what Ai is saying is they can't stop it from Climbing but they can Slow it down so second chance win more makes sense. My intelligence isn't artificial, so I've got a somewhat different take, partly because I don't have as many hallucinations. Back when the annuity record was about $300 million PB introduced a cap that would limit jackpot increases to $25 million, with any excess augmenting the second place prize, until a new record was set. I don't remember how long it lasted, but it wasn'

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
Of course the system would not know if you picked the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6. You definitely would not get much money if by some miracle the numbers hit because about 10K people a day play 1-2-3-4-5-6. This reminds me of the TV show Lost. When the fans of that show played Hurley's lottery numbers of 4-8-15-16-23-42 in the ($355M) Mega Millions drawing in 2011 and hit 4 out of the 6 numbers and 26K people won $150.

Circle K asks judge to delay expiration date for $12.8 million Arizona Lottery jackpot amid disputeReply
Is it even possible that the judge has the authority to ... What does authority mean? Even a town justice has extremely broad authority until a higher court (or the state board of judicial conduct) steps in. The judge can certainly order the lottery to extend the claim period but the lottery can appeal and potentially have a higher court allow them to follow their usual rules almost as soon as the ink is dry on the lower court's order. I doubt the lottery has the ability to extend the claim

$1 million Nebraska lottery winner in Powerball "Night of Millionaires" selected her own numbersNews Story
While dozens of winners win with play slip pattern, one winner strayed from the rest By Kate Northrop Powerball lottery results that aligned with patterns on several state play slips produced two jackpot winners and 89 second-tier prize winners of at least $1 million, but one Nebraska woman's win was a bit different. In what the Multi-State Lottery Association is dubbing a Night of Millionaires, nearly a hundred players across the US won a million dollars or more after the draw produ

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
It is a fluke but it came in on row 5 this time. Just to be clear, there are plenty of patterns and lots of people playing them so the fluke is that the 5 winning numbers happened to match one of the relatively few combinations that can be played by using a pattern. I'm not going to try to count how many possibilities there are, but if we include all of the sequential possibilities, simple/obvious multiples or skips, and straight and diagonal lines I'll guess at about 150 to 200, but call i
