No $50K bonus for Washington retailer who sold winning lottery ticketNews Story
If you're Nirbhai Singh, 36, who started out delivering for Pizza Hut and now owns a couple of 7-Elevens, what else can you do but be philosophical about losing out on $50,000? It was his West Seattle store at 9200 35th Ave. S.W. that sold the winning $157 million ticket in Tuesday's Mega Millions jackpot. The winner has yet to come forward. As for Singh, whom everybody calls Sonny, until last year his store would have gotten a $50,000 bonus for selling a winning Powerball or Mega Milli

Powerball Odds and Buying Lots of Tickets Often Doesn't Pay.
The odds for PA Pick-2 is 1 in 100, and it's a struggle to win $50 on that. Powerball at 1 in ~292 million is ~2.9 million times more difficult. To put it another way, the entire population of California (~39 million) could each buy a ticket, and yet still only a 1 in 7 chance of hitting the jackpot. While such a large purchase would likely yield some 2nd and 3rd tier winners, a smaller sub-set may not. I regularly check PA Lottery detailed results for Powerball, and there are drawings in

Anyone have a system for picking numbers for the Jackpot.Reply
The best thing you can do is observe past results. Let me preface that by saying all it has yielded me is about 10% average per draw, so take all of this with a grain of salt. Let's start by analyzing today's Mega Millions numbers and how I break it down: 7-9-24-38-52 +1 124789 3-3 The second group of numbers is the listing of the single digit 'weight' sequence of each - I saw a term on here what that weight is called, it slips my mind. The third group being the odd/even split which has on

NJ store owner returns lost $2M lottery ticketNews Story
A cynical person might say that the odds of meeting a truly honest person are the same as winning the lottery. But at one Rutherford convenience store, you'll find the odds are good of finding both a winning ticket and an honest store owner, who returned a winning scratch-off with a $2 million jackpot to a regular customer after it ended up unclaimed in the garbage. Owner Yogi Patel and his wife Vilsa own Leprechaun News on Park Avenue by the traffic circle. Nestled between a bank and a parki

16 N.Y. biotech workers claim $58M Mega Millions jackpotNews Story
A group of 16 workers at a Manhattan biotech company who pooled their cash to buy Mega Millions tickets have claimed a $58 million jackpot from the March 24 drawing. The ceremonial prize check was presented to the group Thursday at the store where they bought the winning Quick Pick Millions ticket: Carlton Cards in Penn Plaza. The lucky winners said it took a few hours of checking, double-checking, and triple-checking their tickets before they believed their fantastic fortune. The 16 in

Continue Wheeling??
Hello all! First of all, I'm new here - so I apologize in advance if my question seems ridiculous or obvious to any members. I'm hoping you might offer me a little advice. In the not too distant past, (last few months) I was lucky enough to win a Florida Fantasy Five jackpot. The total was just short of $100,000. Needless to say, I was beyond shocked. I'm not really a regular lottery player. Maybe a few Powerball or MegaMillions tickets now and then when the jackpots reach stratospheric he

Texas Lottery suspends sales of Monopoly Millionaires' Club gameReply
I have been holding back and not wanting to misjudge it and the players to much, now that this has happened, screw it am giving the nitwit players that wanted this game a piece of my mind (not you guys on here ofc) and my honest truth of what's wrong with this game DNA! This game DNA was created for all short sighted people who only play once the jackpot is 200+ million or so, and these players often say something like why can't there be like 300 plus one million dollar winners vs just 1

MMC Game Show
Hello all. I've just joined and I have to say, before last week I couldn't tell you the last time I visited a lottery message board. It's possible I drove by years ago, but I couldn't even tell you when. But what got me to sign up and post is Monopoly Millionaires' Club. First, I want to say kudos to LottoMetro. It's clear that s/he (I'll assume it is a he unless told otherwise) has access to some great inside, really informative info and can post it to a degree without breaking confidentiality
