MUSL to launch "X's and O's," a new multi-state Powerball NFL gameReply
The Powerball Group underwent a massive, nationwide research study in preparation for X's and O's, which revealed that adults aged 18-34 would be more interested in playing Powerball if the brand aligned with the NFL, according to Finks For $12 I'm not interested and I am not into sports or the NFL personally. Why do they need an app, just check numbers? I was hoping ALL state lotteries in America would allow ticket buying through an app or online as they do in the UK, Australia, Europe, an

Three $1 million winning Powerball lottery tickets sold at the same New York storeReply
Although it's theoretically possible for each ticket to have been a QP, that's so highly unlikely that it's just plain crazy to think that's what actually happened. The retailer probably sold only a few thousand PB tickets for that drawing. To make it simple let's call it 11,688 tickets, or 1 for every 1000 5+0 combinations. That makes the odds of one ticket winning a 5+0 prize 1 in 1000. The odds of 3 winning tickets is then 1 in 1 billion. Based on NY's total sales and the number of retai

Thief steals $27,000 worth of Pennsylvania Lottery tickets from gas stationReply
I can't with 100% confidence say the state lottery doesn't know where the winning tickets are but retailers controlling their inventories is not that. Each ticket has three sections. XXXX-YYYYYYYYY-ZZZ. X : Game number Y : Batch number Z : Ticket number which runs from 000 to 300 depending on the value of the ticket. This is what they meant by controlling their inventories. They know exactly where a specific ticket is located cuz it's in the system when sent out
