EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeNews Story
Certain combinations had no chance of winning for three weeks By Kate Northrop Following independent observations by Lottery Post members of an unlikely statistical anomaly in Washington, D.C. draw outcomes, the DC Lottery identified a software problem that meant certain combinations had no shot at winning prizes in three games. The DC Lottery has implemented a fix for a coding error that prevented some tickets from winning in three of its local draw games for three weeks. After

Players have been playing those vertical rows since the first lottery slip was placed on a lottery stand in stores. The odds on it coming in are the same as any other 5 numbers.

Michigan $733,968 Fantasy 5 jackpot winner wins again, this time a $1M Millionaire Raffle prizeReply
That $733,968 Fantasy 5 jackpot was split, meaning this guy pocketed around $366k from a prize that started at $100k and rolled over. Pretty impressive timing just before nailing the 1-in-100,000 shot at the Millionaire Raffle's $1M top prize. Stories like this show that consistent play across games can pay off big, even if the odds are the same for everyone. Congrats to him on turning tickets into treasure twice over!

Arkansas lottery winner of $250.8 million Powerball jackpot claims prizeReply
Arkansas is on fire with these Powerball jackpots, first that massive $1.817 billion on Dec 24, 2025 (numbers 4-25-31-52-59 PB 19, cash $834.9M pre-tax), then this $250.8M from March 2 (2-17-18-38-62 PB 20, $118M cash option). Smart move claiming through a trust keeps the winner's name private under Arkansas rules, unlike states that force full disclosure. Todd's right to debunk the fake rumors; official releases confirm anonymity for both, no E****n or local lady ties, just pure luck hitting 1-

Michigan woman who played Lotto 47 since it launched decades ago wins $1.1 million jackpotReply
Stories like this one, the recent $32.91 million Lotto 47 record just months ago, and the Macomb County guy who stuck with his numbers for 20 years show that persistence can pay off big in this game. Lotto 47's been delivering life-changers since '91. Congrats to her on the $1.1M; it makes you wonder if those faithful twice-weekly plays edge out the odds just a bit through sheer volume. Never give up, indeed, but play smart!

EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
The coding error blocking repeat digits like 111 or 229 in DC 3, 4, and 5 draws from March 31 to April 21 wiped out roughly 27% of combos in DC 3 alone (since 10^3=1,000 total minus 720 unique-digit ones), which is why sharp LP folks caught the stats anomaly so fast. Kudos to DC Lottery for owning it and switching to backups quickly, but holding tickets means they're likely cooking up a fair remediation, maybe prorated payouts based on odds adjustment. Ball draws aren't foolproof either (machine

New lottery number experiment pays off for North Carolina woman with $212,371 Cash 5 jackpotReply
I tried eliminating all the single numbers in Cash Five. Picked 5 randomly from 10-35 figuring that improved my odds considerably as long as a single number wasn't drawn that night.

We need the ball machine to be examined in NC. We recently had 9 consecutive doubles drawn and 14/16 overall. What are the odds of that? Seems unlikely to me
