Lotto South- Potential New Draw DaysReply
Ya'll seem to be missing the point, in regards to Lotto South. It was never meant to compete directly with PB/MM, which is why the Lotto South states also offer PB/MM. If they wanted Lotto South to compete with PB/MM, they would have just dropped those large jackpot games and only had Lotto South, forcing people to put all their money into Lotto South.They have both games because they're both different, exactly as they intended it to be. They know that many people don't care for the astronomi

Annuity/record jackpotReply
You want more, or should want more, so that those who carry your DNA into the 30th Century will have a comfortable life. Not wanting to increase your wealth is like saying, screw you future people with my DNA . I don't want to get into a battle here, Chewie, but you're barking up the wrong tree when you write something like that to me. But I suppose anyone can take someone's comments and interpret them any way he wants. Regarding my DNA, I have no children. However, I'm one of the few people

Annuity/record jackpotReply
Its all about the choice. Every one, who wins, can choose whatever they want. They can let some one else manage the money and hope nothing goes wrong, or tax laws don't change, and live happily ever after. Of, they choose the second option, do their own investing, and hope nothing goes wrong, or tax laws don't change, and live happily ever after. One obvious conclusion you missed is the longevity of money. You want more, or should want more, so that those who carry your DNA into the 30th Cen

Probability of a MegaMillions rollover.Reply
I think I want to refine my impression of the probabilities of reaching a new record jackpot, based on the following considerations.Usually long runs are distinguished by a breakout rollover wherein sales, after proceeding in a linear fashion at a slow regular rate of increase, suddenly begin to grow exponentially until a prize is won.Recently, on this run, sales have been performing somewhat erratically, for some reason, but still some semblance of linearity, albeit noisy linearity, has been

Powerball lottery 'winner' turns coyReply
Time for me to ramble here a bit. I agree with above quote. I know in my minds eye that I will say nothing........... getting those proverbial ducks in a row is a first and foremost priority.......... and I have plenty of idea's on that front.... I know it is impossible to keep your name from becoming public but I would want to fly as far below the radar as possible. To be honest the very thought of winning that huge of an amount would scare me just a little oh yes of course it would be nice w

Powerball lottery states report brisk sales for huge jackpotReply
Not necessarily. I went to the link on usamega.com that was referenced in the article and saw the state by state breakdown of what the winner would get after taxes. One thing I noticed was several of the states were marked No State Tax on Lottery Prizes which to me implies the state either has no state income tax at all or does not charge state income tax on lottery winnings. In the case of tickets purchased in these states, the state gets nothing in taxes if a lottery winner from any state

Lottery gadfly not betting on getting top postReply
Yes, I agree. As most of you know, Ms. Nettles runs LottoReport.com, and she's no more impressed with Indiana's methods and tactics than she is with the intricate gyrations of her own state lottery (Texas).I sent her a letter the other day outlining what LosingJeff and I have uncovered about the Hoosier Lottery. She hasn't replied yet, but she is a very active consumer advocate, so I'm willing to wait a while for her response.She brings up some very good points about the Texas lottery, and she's

Lottery PromotionsReply
I'm not convinced gas prices are hurting that bad. Most people buy locally, and gas has only been an issue for a short period. I'm inclined to believe that it is based on the amount of money available. Every one I know is worried about their future income at work. The numbers are being pushed that the economy is back, but the hiring is not. Layoffs are still happening in the thousands. Corporations are not upgrading equipment or software. Outsourcing is becoming more of an option. Fewer people w
