Idaho Lottery alerts retailers to possible bulk buying attempt over $877,800 Idaho Cash jackpotReply
You are correct that no one did anything wrong in buying the tickets because they broke no existing law. However the point is that everyone should get an equal chance and the game should be such that the number of tickets sold per draw has a reasonable chance of winning. That can be deduced by looking at the historical number of tickets per draw. The Texas Lotto, Lotto America, Montana Cash and Idaho Cash fail in that respect. As an example, recently it took Lotto America (2) entire year

If You Won BIG, Would You Perform Risk Management?Reply
A few factors would play into my path forward: 1. After tax amount won. Is it $200M take home? Taking the Annuity or Cash Value(roughly 46% of $200M) minus fed taxes ? 2. Estimation of years life left(plus 5). 3. Purchase of Gold and Silver to cover life expenses for at least 25 years - through private sales and places such as APMEX/Hero Bullion etc. 4. Cash on hand(depends on #1) 5. CDs at multiple local banking facilities 6. Hire the professional....There are numerous

Virginia woman wins $150,000 Powerball lottery prize using ChatGPT, donates entire prizeReply
Congratulations on the win and the philanthropic heart. I believe that she did her homework on the tax part. She accepted the winnings in her name and as such that counts as income to her. She will need to pay both State and Federal taxes on that income. For cash donations to public non profits, one can only deduct up to 60% of Adjusted Gross Income. For private foundations that's 30% of AGI. Most lottery winnings $600 are paid less 24% withheld federal tax. I read anothe

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
The annual increases in the annuity payment makes the proportion of lump sum to annuity smaller. Right, but you're reversing the cause and the effect. The graduated payments inflate the annuity, making it bigger than it would be with fixed payments. The flip side to that is that with fixed payments the proportion of annuity to lump sum is smaller. Every dollar in the prize pool (the cause) buys less annuity value (the effect). Of course, the lump sum is the real number since it's based

$78 million Lotto Texas jackpot expiring in less than two weeksNews Story
No one has come forward to claim the lifechanging prize By Kate Northrop There are just less than two weeks to claim a $78 million Lotto Texas jackpot before the winning ticket expires and the money vanishes from the winner's hands. These next couple weeks will make all the difference in determining whether an unidentified lottery player lives in ignorant bliss of a huge win or they change their life forever. It's because a winning ticket worth $78 million is on the verge of expi

I Found 8 Profitable To Play Scratchers
Can't post links yet because I'm a new account but I thought I'd share the results of my research here. I've been messing around with some AI coding and I built a site that automatically imports scratcher data from 25 states and then does an expected value calculation on each ticket. As some of you serious scratchers know, as tickets get sold and jackpots aren't claimed your odds of winning go up and they can actually get to the point where they're mathematically profitable to play on av

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
I love this - was looking forward to it. Change is good - keeps things interesting. I think it should spread to Australia, Canada and Europe as well. I like that they will keep the ticket cost at $2 in the US. Hope for an increase in the jackpot reset amount. I would have liked if they scrapped the taxes on the US side of things if the game won't be taxed on the UK side. I hope that on the UK side the annuity does not get affected by the death of a jackpot winner since th
