Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
Can you buy the tickets after the drawing has occurred? I don't think he wins the jackpot if he did this.

No winner again: Powerball jackpot hits $1.6 billion in longest-ever rollover runReply
Pretty cool. Was that manual pick or auto pick to allow the lucky number 20 be picked. For years I played $180 a drawing with group of 80 players and the most we ever won was $24 back on a drawing from that night. I run the group and we just do auto pick but hey we all are still at it 20 years later and some retired but they'll never give up because we feel $3-5 Million is life changing for each of us. We only play when it gets high and don't play every draw.
