All Tennessee Players and Lottery Post Experts(Todd)Reply
my bad I'm sorry, I read it too fast, If you were buying powerball #s and they give you a standard lotto ticket then the odds are much better. For every 20 million powerball tickets that TN's area sells, there really is a decent expectation that 2 of the free regular lotto tickets will have the identical numbers. In other words, suppose Tennesee's area sells 20 million powerball tickets, that means 4 million free regular lotto tickets are given out to customers (or should be lega

A Federal Gaming CommissionReply
The only thing I want to see is a 'Commission' to verify games are played according to the rules, and games are paid out according to how they said they would pay out. What this means is, I'd like to see all Lottery games have the numbers pulled from a machine (not computer-generated) in front of a live, public audience. Powerball does that. Somewhat. The dumb things that bug me are: have you ever bought a raffle ticket where the main prize is something like a big-screen TV, or a weekend v

Matched four MM numbers tonight and won...Reply
Dang Nabbit!! Nothing for me tonight. Not even close. I got 1 right lol. It was purchased with money I won ($3) form Wa Lotto. I was going to get it at my towns only grocery store, but their whole computer/phone systems went down so they couldn't except debit cards......or validate wins and make tickets I guess. So...I ran across town to the gas station. Thought it was a sign...ya know? winning numbers will be at the gas station .........but i guess it was just trying to tell me not to play toda

North Carolina 5/1 - 5/31Reply
hello gang....I'm as upset as I could possibly be. I had to look at the video to make sure it wasn't the same announcer. I figured... oh-oh somebody didn't come to work and nobody knows how to run the machine. I figured they were pulling an okie-dokie.....the fifty-two switcheroo... I only put in what I had listed. Bought me a scratcher won $10.00. Going to get a Powerball ticket and play it 5 draws with the PowerPlay added. Just waitin....the wait will be ova soon!!! Yes blksaint1 I go

Question about blind trusts...Reply
How much faith would you have in the person/attorney appointed will always serve with your best interest? I think there was a topic here where there was a bit of discussion on why you'd need to make copies of the ticket (via copy machine or just taking pictures or video in posession of it) and I think this is a good one, you wouldn't want something to happen such as the trustee going and try claiming it as their own. After it's claimed do you want to keep them on as the trustee? Especial

Thinking About a Change in Strategy (PowerBall)
As some of you may have noticed, I've always been an avid proponent of buying the PowerPlay on every ticket. The reason being, it's more likely I'll match 5+0 than 5+1, and the 5+0 payoff of $200K after taxes wouldn't be life-changing. However, with the PowerPlay, even the 2 multiplier payoff of $400K would be life-changing. Therefore, I've thought it was worth it to spring for the extra buck on each line. Now I've been thinking. Dangerous, I know. Since I am limited to the $$$ I can pla

pick 3 lottery cardReply
I think we should be able to play numbers through a machine similar to an ATM. That would take care of the interstate gambling rule or using a credit card to purchase tickets and it could be completely anonymous. Race tracks with off-track betting have that type of machines that take cash or you can get a ticket voucher from the betting window. You can bet the horses in California or the dogs in Florida from a track in West Virginia, Ohio, or Pennsylvania. Each track gets a percentage of t

All new lottery shows on TLCReply
There were three separate one-hour reports, our cable guide said New, 2006, so I think they were filmed in 2006 but just now aired for the first time. (Some were obviously file films from pre- 2006, one was about a Big Game winner, which is what Mega Millions used to be known as). If I was tracking them right, every winner interviewed won on a quick pick. One woman talked about playing her numbers and having an extra dollar and asked for another ticket and that's the one that won it for

Experiment #29 (5/39 – NY – 9/5/2007) POWER NUMBER!Reply
Wow,that's great! Congrats on your winnings. I so totally agree with you that a dollar and a dream is a joke except for those VERY RARE occasions when someone will hit on a quick pick or two. Good answer here, if you are planning on winning any kind of jackpot you do have to step it up and be willing to invest some dough, that's all there is to it. And it can't be scared money, I think that's what they call it in the gambling world, money that you aren't afraid to lose. It has to be money that

Someone Won the MegamillionsReply
Thanks for the info, Our quikpick ticket only had 11 and 40, but 11 wasn't in the MB slot. So unlike the powerball there were 4 winners this time. That means each person recieves 84,500,000 before taxes. Not sure what the final amount would be after taxes. I'm guessing the other three state winners are California, Ohio, and Georgia. Didn't win this time maybe next time. I only play when the MM gets huge like this. That's what makes it fun. Did anyone who went to play around 10:30 p
