The man who won the lottery 14 times (part 1)News Story

Are the middle lotteries worth it?
When the Hot Lotto went to 1-47 I am thinking that it is not worth it. Here's some calculations I did and maybe Powerball and Mega Millions have a good spot to aim for, the 5 numbers. Getting the power ball along with the play is good. Perhaps the extra $1 is worth it. Who knows. Powerball: For 175,223,510 odds and starting jackpots at $40 million. $40 million / 175,223,510 is rounded to 23 cents payout per odd. $1 million / 5,153,633 is rounded = 19 cents.

Cheated lottery winner files lawsuitReply
i agree with tabtastic, if these lazy beeps don't even want to check to see if they won, and waste the clerk time Checking losers, they should get off their lazy beep and sign the back the only time you don't sign the back when you hand your ticket to a owner human being and it leaves your view , is when winning a major jackpot, to form a trust to stay out of public eye only hand a ticket unsigned to a lawyer who claim it for you, and for god sakes get something like your iphone 4 out a

Lottery Post Exclusive By Todd Northrop Updated: Nov. 6, 2009, 11:28 a.m. Updated: Nov. 10, 2009, 11:21 p.m. In January 2010 the state lines that have been dividing the United States into Powerball states and Mega Millions states will be blurred by a cross-selling arrangement between the two multi-state lottery titans.
