Maybe you should have read the article. It was the patterns on certain states slips that caused it.

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
After reading the article a few more times very carefully here is what I get from the article: Everything in the article above the following section is yadda, yadda, yadda from the PB Lottery until some solid information (maybe subject to change?) comes along. US state lotteries and the UK National Lottery will pool funds only for the Powerball jackpot, not lower-tier prizes. Tickets purchased in the UK will contribute the same fixed US dollar amount per play to the jackpot pool as ticke

Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
It belongs to the store. According to the article, the customer declined the printed ticket and Arizona lottery rules states, that when that happens the retailer gets to keep the ticket, provided he does not resell it. The Manager, fraudulently purchased the ticket because he knew it was a winner. Who in their right mind would purchase a day old lottery ticket?

*The report said the owner of the ticket declined it, more like ( forgot ) it at the store. It's why Bank of America is now involved. * According to the article, the ticket was purchased using a debit card. Seems the purchase was legitimate and Circle K wants the money going to the original purchaser, just not Gawlitza.

l read what the Article says Above it says British players do not have the option to take Lump sum. And that any British player that wins Power Ball must take the Annuity. So Annuity is their only available option. Some people ask about federal tax. There are two ways to work around it . One pay your federal tax After you win or Two your federal tax adds 20 cents or ten cents to the cost of the ticket. And l think Powerball should eliminate federal and state tax Completely. Treat it like lottery

It's interesting that states may have to put some thought in how they arrange numbers on their play slips to eliminate pattern selections if they don't have in place rules protecting themselves with parimutuel payouts for large payouts. I kind of remember Texas All or Nothing https://www.lotterypost.com/news/262005 having similar issues where they needed to add parimutuel to the rules for large payouts. Even though the article does not mention it I believe their play slips allowed you to sel

Mentioning a conspiracy while claiming no conspiracy is just pure irony. If you'd spent enough time on the website you'd have seen dozens of them every time jackpot gets big. Just recently with someone claiming all the jackpots coming from one county in Michigan. I agree with you on one thing. There has never been so many second tier winners on a small jackpot. And if you'd read the article you'd understand the reason behind it. It's the way the playslips are for a lot of the states.

$110,000 Michigan Lottery Fantasy 5 Double Play winner has one month left to claimReply
Why? Do you think they collect the winnings personally? It says in the article that unclaimed prizes goes to the public schools. I think that unclaimed prizes should be returned to the players (a bonus drawing or something). But it's the state, so of course they keep it.
