Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
I don't agree with this. It's the lottery's job to shut down so-called bulk ticket retailers, not collect all this money and then deny payment. That's what Texas tried to do to a winner and she had to sue them to collect. Withholding payment to the woman in TX with no indication that her ticket was bought as part of a (still legal) effort to have the winning numbers as a result of an organized effort to methodically buy all of the combination was ill conceived, but it wasn't the lottery tha

Circle K asks judge to delay expiration date for $12.8 million Arizona Lottery jackpot amid disputeReply
I cannot help but wonder, considering all of the attention that this is getting from Lottery Post, and *probably* many other state, regional, and national news outlets, that the original customer who came up $20 short (for whatever reason) has figured out that they were the one that originally missed out on all of that money? It probably happens occasionally, but I do not think that there would be a great number of times that a person places an order for $80-$85 tickets and ends up leaving w

U.K. National Lottery going on 36-hour break for huge technology upgradeReply
To me it would like a lot of marketing spin .... they were supposed to convert to their system when they took over (Feb 2024) and are about 18 months late. Were also supposed to bring back the price of Lotto to GBP1 (today it is GBP 2) and to increase contribution to good causes. Until now have done none of that .... we shall see. Also, to say that they have invested already GBP350M in the contract sounds a little stretched. Hopefully someone will want to check them on that. PS

One Georgia ticket wins $983 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
That is just what I am doing. MM was won before it got to my target amount to begin purchasing. But, due to the price increase I would have bought 1 to 5 tickets only to have a chance in the draw. In the past at the 1 to 2 billion mark I have went for 50 tickets for $100 for a better chance, although not *much* better than 1 to 5 tickets, I know. I currently save the cost of 1 ticket per each bracket of 100 million cash value for both MM and PB games. When PB hits my target amount (not set
