One Arizona lottery ticket wins $410 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
Reality Check Someone nabbed the $410 million Mega Millions jackpot. Now, here s that tax bill While the windfall will be a life-changing bonanza, the advertised amount isn t what the winner will actually end up with. Whether the jackpot is claimed as an annuity or lump sum, federal and state taxes will be withheld, and more will likely be due at tax time. For this jackpot, the cash option the choice most winners go with is $316.8 million. The required 24% federal tax withholding wo

Wisconsin SuperCash $$Reply
I had a very interesting follow up to this from WI Lotto themselves - My open request was replied to by someone other than Izzy, a super nice guy named Zach emailed me and said I could call him. What I found out: For all the lotto games for WI - they do not track what top prizes are won QP vs Selected numbers as a stats alone but they track all winning tickets ($1 to jackpots) on what is quick picks vs selected numbers - but he could look up a specific date/game to tell me wha

Mega Millions to adjust starting jackpot amount, eliminate minimum increasesReply
But, what I believe they should do doesn't mean squat to them. Quite the contrary... What you and I and others players think, does matter to them , if enough of us stop playing .. insufficient revenue coming in gets the same serious attention, whether it's from player discrepancies, or a Pandemic..or anything else..playing the Lottery isn't an essential business... What is essential to them, is our steady flow of money into the State's coffers..!! They insure themselves not to take a

Today's changes are in addition to the modifications announced just last week. The new Powerball rules for determining the advertised jackpot will be based strictly on game sales and interest rates, completely eliminating guaranteed starting jackpot amounts and minimum

The world may never know who won a $202 million lottery jackpotReply
The whole concept is to make money for the state, not turn people into click bait fodder. You think the two have no connection? What you call click bait fodder is what the lottery calls marketing. Maybe there really are people who won't take a chance on winning millions of dollars because they can't be anonymous, but I'm guessing that's more than offset by people who buy tickets based on stories about other people who won. We all know that sales for PB and MM are a lot slower than they used

SOLAR STAR lottery by SOLARISReply
SOLARIS WINNERS Keep watching PRACTICING observing and PLAYING People ask the same question every single person either thinks or wants and some have asked...They want the exact six numbers choices spelled out. Very few are really willing to work, despite the process of winning 50K to A BILLION as the goal. Obviously its not just handed over, especially by the lottery which shows huge signs of being deeply compromised. If I had the 5 or 6 exact numbers in one list, I would play it exactly,

How high will PB go?Reply
Won't go above $300 million, it's been way too easy for some to win lately. Exactly what some are you referring to? It's not as easy as it may seem to win it... Now, what's probably happening is serious analysist, maybe such as yourself and others, chase some jackpots into the hands of some unsuspecting smuck, because, as far fetched as it may sound,..Lottery Officials would rather someone without Math or analytical skills win it, than the other way around... I know there are opini

What's the Purpose of the Printed Time of Purchase on Tickets, If Drawing is 15 min to 1 hr Later?Reply
Ok, so now it's not about how the lottery has marked you as a serious math playing threat. You are saying they could mark you as a threat. Well sure, I'll agree that while it is highly unlikely, it is possible, but to what end? They do not care who wins the money. Why would they? You say you are a threat by just playing $10 or $20, and with millions you could bring them to their knees (my words)? You certainly think highly of your math skills, and if you are as good as you say you are, why in
