77-year-old crossing guard with winning $1M lottery ticket will keep workingReply
Congrats on his win. I doubt he will have any issues continuing to work. He didn't win $1 million, but rather $536,227. Advertising jackpots that aren't immediately payable in the full amount (ie. annuity) is very deceptive marketing. Though it used to be worse decades ago. After much negative press, most lotteries, usually in fine print and/or in the official rules, indicate the cash value along with offering a lump-sum payout option. Even better, many lotteries have moved to all cash jackpo

Winning match5 strategy for West Virginia (WV) Cash 25Reply
Are you playing this Raven62 ? Look the odds are so much smaller and the jackpots go quite frequent -I just went on their site. Although a small amount thats a very easy lottery with lower odds (low skips)......Ok I hear what you say not easy.....but winnable VERY POSSIBLE if you know your stuff. Pity the jackpots are so low I would use thelotter and have a go at it but it wont be worth it -just imagine thelotter taking their cut too - I will fly down to the USA for a $10 000 prize lol P

Wed. Powerball lottery jackpot jumps to $700 millionReply
Roll-over is looking very likely, and expect LP is ready for the onslaught of traffic, because it's going to get crazy like last time. Saw an article, I think it was on Consumerist, that mentioned USAMega. It's going to be wall-to-wall lottery news, if it rolls to a $billion. Get those tickets early. Increasingly, many casual players won't bother with PB nor MM until jackpots are upwards of $500 million. $Billion dollar jackpots is what many players expect these days, especially being hitting

Illinois Lottery to again delay large payouts due to budget woesReply
Lucky Day Lotto - 5/45 game - jackpots start at $100,000 and Lotto jackpots start at $2,000,000 so there won't be much reason to play them either. Hey Illinois- whenever the house offers a bet and a player makes one and wins your part of the deal is to pay it. When the state pulled this bonehead move in 2015 the freeze on payouts started higher but got down to a ridiculous amount.

Mega Millions lottery tickets double to $2 starting in OctoberReply
I am certainly getting sick of jackpots becoming more and more a longshot to win. No doubt state lotto's will follow suit and further water down there games after this I am not a regular MM or PB player at this point because of how difficult it is to even get $1 back and how the odds are so long that its hard to imagine any scenario in which I actually win At $2 a line and 300M to 1 chance to win ,, No thank you Will only buy MM or PB when jackpots get absurd and even then it w

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
IMO if what the District Mgr said to EMTAdam is true then the Lottery has committed an offense against the citizens of Fl and the Attorney General should be made aware and take action. For example, when a retailer commits price gouging action is taken quickly. I understand price gouging is relatively easy to prove but now we have a Lottery official admitting they indeed do know the jackpots are destroyed. The lottery is clearly violating the Florida Unfair Deceptive Trade Practices law. The lott

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Yeah, what this tells me is really the only games worth playing are new games. I noticed they took their sweet time in updating FL Cash. I notice those tickets are almost impossible to sell, I'm shocked they didn't end that game with the new $25 ticket. Perhaps one or two of those $1m prizes are actually out there. Still, with 1000 books left at least, it would be expensive to try and find out... I do have faith that both of those last two jackpots on $20 Flamingo are out there because t

Significant changes regarding Scratch off tickets needed within the Florida Lottery.Reply
I completely agree with your logic regarding SM and 2MJ Dracos and that is why i decided to join the forum and offer my 2 cents. I believe the only wildcard in the equation is the vending machines.....can you buy a book from your local retailers out of a vending machine? If so, that would be really helpful in checking book #'s and restore some faith back into the system. If books happen to sit for long periods of time in the vending machines in low volume sales areas and then are returned and de

Close, but no cigar...Reply
Groppo, You do realize that if one prefers small jackpots, there are small games to play, such as Cash 5, or the P3 and P4 games. Huge jackpots are what instant retirements are made of, with money to pass on to children and grandchildren.

1.5 billion Powerball or more for Thanksgiving 2016?Reply
This one has grown a bit faster than the last jackpot to make it past $300 million, but we'll probably be lucky to see $400 million by the drawing after Thanksgiving. If it does keep on rolling it could certainly make it to 1.5 billion or better for the Christmas even drawing, but the chances of rolling until then are very small. What happened to the days when any jackpot over $100 million was exciting? They've been relegated to the history books by the new jackpots. The smallest PB
