New lottery number experiment pays off for North Carolina woman with $212,371 Cash 5 jackpotReply
Congrats to Dorothy on that sweet $212k Cash 5 hit, proof that shaking up your method can click on the first go, even if it's pure luck at 1 in 962,598 odds. Whatever her new approach was, blending 2-3 odds with evens and spreading across groups like 1-10, 11-20, etc., pops up in over 90% of draws historically, so it's worth tweaking if you're in a rut. Sticking to sums averaging 10-34 keeps combos realistic too, unlike all-low or sky-high shots that rarely land.

$100,000 Mass Cash and $50,000 Powerball lottery prizes expiring in MassachusettsReply
After expiration date - I wish they would put those in a must win draw and award 10K each - that would be a good present to the winners. Both amounts are decent sums. I mean that is grocery shopping for years and years

Michigan man who played the lottery weekly for the last ten years wins $1 million Powerball prizeReply
It is never pointless to win large sums of many at an older age. Just because someone is in their 50's and beyond, they still don't know how much longer they are going to live so, they need money just like a younger person. I read an article a few weeks ago stating, most young people don't play the lottery because they feel that it is a waste of money. That same young person who feels that playing the lottery is a waste of money, will want some of the jackpot money that their family member just

$180 million Powerball winners embroiled in court battle after losing $20M to financial advisorReply
US state lotteries should do more to offer independent, professional financial and legal advice to winners. The UK National Lottery is a great role model for American state lotteries to follow. Another aspect of this is the issue of anonymity. When people win large sums and are then catapulted into the limelight, it is put enormous pressure on the winners. Some states do now allow winners to remain anonymous, all other states should follow.

Michigan man who played the lottery weekly for the last ten years wins $1 million Powerball prizeReply
This is so interesting, I have had such thoughts too, not about Michigan or any State for that matter, but just the thought of winning a jackpot or large sums when one is in their 70's. It feels so pointless and probably good for grand kids. I think 30 something to 55 is a good age, and not in any way frowning upon age.
