A JACKPOT is less likely to be split IFReply
I read an article by Gail Howard sometime back that stated if you played higher numbers (30 and above) and won, you would less likely have to share the jackpot because of the number of players who played birthdays and anniversary dates. Personally I don't worry about sharing the jackpot with another player, I just would like to get a share of the jackpot. When the jackpots are over a $100M and over a million combinations are sold, there are still many single ticket winners.RJOh

Todd: Remember that the article was written in TEXAS, where players still must choose WHEN they buy the ticket. The cash/annuity choice should be made AFTER you win.

Take the Lump sum...not Annuity!Reply
How can ANYBODY disagree with that? BTW, the article was written in response to Lotto Texas, which still requires the choice when you PLAY, not after you win. Texas, California, NY need to change the rules so the choice can be made AFTER you win (remember I live in NY).

I read the article and it is basically correct..Bank of America is having lots of troubles, too. Where I live, you can always tell when the internet is under attack. ...people shop constantly and word spreads like wildfire. I always download those patches from Microsoft whther I need them or not. I wonder whose financial information is at risk...(foreign hackers...that seems always seems to be their target...credit card numbers and names...under the guise of a worm..THIS WORM IS A BI

In that article, it was stated of the 57.3 Million tickets sold 1,579,793 were winners. 57.3M divided by 1,579,793 equals 36.27. That's about what one would expect.RJOh

When do you get the money?
I just read a newspaper article that said it takes 2 weeks for lottery officials to verify the authenticity of the ticket. This was for powerball. Added: Well, you can't get it all at one time. The other states have to get it to the states that have the winners.
