Couple rescues lottery ticket from trash, wins $1MNews Story
A Massachusetts couple has won $1 million on a scratch-off lottery ticket they dug out of the trash after inadvertently throwing it away. The state lottery commission says Joseph and Joanne Zagami of North Attleborough bought the $5 ticket from a vending machine while grocery shopping. They stuck the ticket in a bag and forgot about it. The next day, Joseph Zagami asked his wife if she had scratched the ticket. She hadn't. They dug through the trash and found it. The couple claimed t

Win lottery with Gods power togetherReply
Hello everybody , This is Dan again. Thanks for the replies. the more people we get in this post the quicker we win the lotteries. God told me to tell you a story that involved on time wining the pick 4 in New York City , where I live. This story will activate the energy in this post for us to win. A while back I asked God how to get the exact winning numbers to hit without prediction but the numbers that I want , he told me it will take longer than his method but it will work , so he proceeded

If I'm interpreting his post, I think he picked up 2 20x crossword and lost. When combined with the other six that he has purchased, he is 0 - 8 on the game. Not sure if the other six were in sequence. On a somewhat related 20x crossword note, I have purchased ticket #49 (last/first one on the roll), #45, and #35, all on the same roll. My local machine evidently is not moving that many tickets of this game. Anyway, I won on #49 ($10) but lost on #45 and #35 :\ I'm going to go back tomorrow an

Record Powerball jackpot won by 1 ticketReply
I know they were in the news last year, but I've never seen a self service lottery machine (I live in Florida) There are vending machines for scratch-off tickets in most Publix supermarkets in the state, but usually people are lined up at the customer service counter to buy tickets for online games like Powerball, Lotto, Fantasy5, etc. I was hoping the winning ticket was purchased from a small grocery store or other family owned business. Publix has an annual revenue of around $27 billion, bu

So how much did you drop for this latest huge jackpot??Reply
$9. I got 3 QP w/ multiplier; had two, was all I had planned to get but was at the grocery store and as I was leavng the lottery machine called my name. Now I'm wondering if it might've been one of the sack boys who know me. Speaking of which, a bit OT, but I usually don't purchase lottery tickets out of self-serve machines, only scratch tickets. I buy my lottery tickets at one of two liquor stores here in town b/c I know the owners. My reasoning is that I'd rather them get the bonus f

What are you buying your friends?Reply
I would probably give good friends like 13K each per year as to not trigger any taxes for them. And if they were married with kids maybe 13K each person per year.... Also, I am contemplating starting several new businesses (In the field I am already in and know very well) and I could also employ them at a higher than normal salary. Truthfully I am not 100% sure, I will need to iron out the details with my advisors. I also feel like, you (friends/family) could have bought a ticket just like m

Can the MM/PB bouncing balls be rigged?Reply
So, what would happen if a draw is rigged but they don't find out until a year later? Would they have another draw? What if the winner from the 2nd draw already discarded the ticket? What would happen to winners who didn't rig the machine but won something (big and small)? Would they have to return the money they already spent?

Should I buy 5 QP in one ticket or 5 QP in 5 separate tickets?Reply
The terminal doesn't really play any role in whether you win for draw games, location doesn't really matter like it does for scratch games. But if we go way off tangent and you wanna talk philosophically, then you could think that only a certain subset of numbers would come out of any given machine on any given day, regardless of random seed like system noise and clock, etc. But back to the original subject: does it help to buy 5 QP in separate tickets 1 line each, as opposed to all 5 lines o

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Thanks all, it's weird but it always seems I get these type of wins after either I need a pick me up.. or I do something nice for someone. Yesterday I found out a girl I like and had been working on has a boyfriend lol ...the last time I won on that machine a girl in front of me had a crumpled up $10 bill that wasn't being accepted, so I traded a new 10 I had so she could get a ticket first. That's why I never buy rolls or go overboard chasing wins, (except maybe a couple of times where I was

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Bought 2 of the new $20 ticket. Actually only wanted 1 but I thought the machine didn't register. Hit a second time and got 2. Nothign on either one. These tickets I think are worse than any I have seen. I hate how the numbers are staggered. I like scratching the numbers first to see if I have a winner or symbol. On these it's tough to do or see what goes with what. HATE THEM. Probably will not buy another.
