$2 million and $500,000 Powerball lottery prizes set to expire in South DakotaReply
Remembering what the California lottery did years ago with a multi-million lottery prize. They put the video/stills up of the lady purchasing the winning ticket. Essentially outing her instead of giving her the chance to come forward. That was wrong! It was nowhere near expiration date either.

$1.5 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot fuels rush for ticketsReply
The interest rate is locked in when the lottery sets the estimate. It is not floating as you suggest. You're completely backwards in your analysis. I'd recommend viewing our video for how jackpots are calculated.

DC Lottery offers compensation for players affected by computerized draw errorReply
I've always defended the lottery when people post this draw history is bad by pointing out that randomly drawn numbers can generate patterns that may look funny in retrospect, but if they are random and unpredictable, then there's nothing wrong with it. Not any more! I will never defend the lottery as long as they use an RNG to choose winning numbers. Probability theory applies to random number drawings that do not contain errors. I had no idea that these RNG systems had bugs in it so many t

$2 million and $500,000 Powerball lottery prizes set to expire in South DakotaReply
It all depends on the state that sold the ticket. In California in 2021 a winning 26 million dollar Superlotto Plus ticket was sold at a store. A woman came forward and said she has the winning ticket but it had been destroyed. she accidentally left it in her pants pocket when she did the wash. The woman is known to frequent the store and video cameras show her buying the ticket but since she no longer had the physical ticket she could not claim the money but the store DID receive the 130K bonus

Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
A n unprecedented move by the AZ Lottery, extending the expiration date, which would have been yesterday(May 23). What future problems will arise by extending the expiration date of the winning ticket? I can think of hundreds. And this extension of the expire date was all at the request of Circle K. They probably do have an interest in being awarded this money. Now the manager cannot be located to be served his summons. HMMM....did he quit? Doubt it. Did Circle K fire him. Probably. Will his abs

Over $9.5 million in unclaimed lottery winnings expiring soon in WashingtonReply
No, there is nothing fishy about the retail system in Washington. Just like every other state, there are millions of dollars worth of unclaimed tickets that expire every year. People buy tickets put them in the glove box in their car, an old shoe box or drawer in their home and forget all about the tickets. I have read countless stories where someone was cleaning out their car one day and found a bunch of lottery tickets in the glove box. They had the tickets checked and found a major winner, da
