DC Lottery offers compensation for players affected by computerized draw errorReply
I've always defended the lottery when people post this draw history is bad by pointing out that randomly drawn numbers can generate patterns that may look funny in retrospect, but if they are random and unpredictable, then there's nothing wrong with it. Not any more! I will never defend the lottery as long as they use an RNG to choose winning numbers. Probability theory applies to random number drawings that do not contain errors. I had no idea that these RNG systems had bugs in it so many t

$2 million and $500,000 Powerball lottery prizes set to expire in South DakotaReply
It all depends on the state that sold the ticket. In California in 2021 a winning 26 million dollar Superlotto Plus ticket was sold at a store. A woman came forward and said she has the winning ticket but it had been destroyed. she accidentally left it in her pants pocket when she did the wash. The woman is known to frequent the store and video cameras show her buying the ticket but since she no longer had the physical ticket she could not claim the money but the store DID receive the 130K bonus

Kentucky man goes into "full panic mode" after winning $250,000 in the lotteryReply
He needed another set of eyes to make sure his own weren't playing tricks on him, so he immediately went home to show his wife . Saw a YouTube video about a Florida man that trusted his eyes and instead of scanning his ticket or looking at what was printed beneath the matching number, drove 4 hours to the state capital to find out it was a misprint . Or more likely over zealous scratching off what should have been a 3 behind the 1 . On this ticket ththr is beneath the 33 and twfythd is

Lotto Max to undergo significant game changes, price increaseReply
As a tracker of the Lotto Max here in Canada I find this game to be one of (if not) the hardest to win (save and apart from the odds) due to the mere fact that their so called random number generator is just an animated fancy looking video. What's really needed is the use of a mechanical ball drawing machine which of course is no longer their preferred mode of selecting numbers. With that being said $90 million is nothing to sneeze at considering its allllll TAX FREE! Good luck to

Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
A n unprecedented move by the AZ Lottery, extending the expiration date, which would have been yesterday(May 23). What future problems will arise by extending the expiration date of the winning ticket? I can think of hundreds. And this extension of the expire date was all at the request of Circle K. They probably do have an interest in being awarded this money. Now the manager cannot be located to be served his summons. HMMM....did he quit? Doubt it. Did Circle K fire him. Probably. Will his abs

Over $9.5 million in unclaimed lottery winnings expiring soon in WashingtonReply
No, there is nothing fishy about the retail system in Washington. Just like every other state, there are millions of dollars worth of unclaimed tickets that expire every year. People buy tickets put them in the glove box in their car, an old shoe box or drawer in their home and forget all about the tickets. I have read countless stories where someone was cleaning out their car one day and found a bunch of lottery tickets in the glove box. They had the tickets checked and found a major winner, da

Mega Millions jackpot closes in on $1 billionReply
You're thinking in terms of number of tickets, not dollars spent. Number of tickets does not set the jackpot level, the amount spent does. Of course they will sell fewer tickets because of the higher price. That is a given. The real analysis is how fast the jackpot grows due to dollars spent. And in that regard, I'd say it's growing slower than before. The last time the jackpot reached $1 billion it took 30 draws to do it. This time it'll take 40 draws. So it's definitely slower. Of cour

$1.8 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now second-largest ever as ticket sales surge across the USAReply
Yesterday, I stumbled upon a you tube video called Scratch Life and this guy in Florida gets money from a pool and bought $1,160 worth of PB tickets - they do both the power play and double play. The money they make back made me feel justified with my $10 purchase. People are going all out. Hoping that the food budget is not being affected Good luck to all.

South Carolina Lottery begins accepting debit card payments for ticket purchasesReply
Only one Big Question if you loss your lottery ticket like the Guy in California that lost half of $390,000,000 you should be able to claim your prize with your Debit card purchase.

The Canada lottery department used her Debit card to pay her $50,000,000 Yes, there is
