NY lottery winner plans to sue Gaming Commission to keep his $5M winnings a secretReply
Back on March 12th of this year DELotteryPlyr said, Pandora's box has been opened - watch who sues next to get the state to change the rules after the fact . His point was made under the article where the Judge ruled that the $560 Million Powerball winner could remain anonymous. Not even 90 days... Nice call DELotteryPlyr

U.S. Supreme Court overturns federal sports-wagering banReply
Article I, Section 9 US Constitution: No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over those of another: Not 100% sure, but that might be the reasoning behind the SC ruling.

The man who cracked the lotteryReply
MillionsWanted, Why do you ask? Are you planning to write one? This article from the New York Times is excellent. Maybe we should ask the Times. What we need now is the end of RNG games.

Hi Todd, Just noticed you made mention of that $50,000 Powerball ticket in your article which was set to expire this coming Monday. Just so you know the winners came forward (see the lottery website for details). Mobile Merchant.

Man didn't realize he won nearly $2 million lottery until 5 months laterReply
The article said He said he plans to pay some bills, save for retirement and have a little fun with the money. A lot of times, winners say that they will pay SOME bills. With that kind of windfall, why not pay off ALL your bills? If I win any appreciable sum of money, you can bet your bippy I will live debt free!

Hoosier Lottery often pulls plug on high-dollar scratch-off games before all prizes can be wonReply
IDK about others, but this article, even though it will never affect me, really ticks me off. To say it is unfair is an understatement. Seriously doubt the Indiana lottery will publicize this, perhaps the media will get a whiff. Right up there with you music*, it'll affect the poor and disenfranchised types of players who will never know about this.

Speculation begins about NJ winner of Mega Millions lotteryReply
I read in another article here that if you don't claim in a certain amount of time, like 90 or 160 days, I forget, 'they' choose the 30 installment plan for you. Maybe that rule or law might be different from state to state. but still... I'd take the cash option and I would cash in as soon as possible. That money isn't making me interest but the govt. And the IRS, are getting plenty already. The math is pretty simple and so is my the tax structure. they take 25% off the top and I'd take another

One lottery ticket sold in New Jersey wins $521 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
Yes i approached him, i was very respectful to him. I told him that while he was in the store i was curious and peeked at his numbers when the cashier handed him his ticket and it seemed they were similar to mine and when i approached him it was daytime and i was in my military uniform so, no threat. Showing a lottery ticket is not like seeing your credit card or pin number. If more people were open like he was to let me see his numbers than it would be a lot harder for the American citizenry to

Are there any statistics of percentage of PB and/or MM winners from each state?Reply
Appreciate the clarifications. Wikipedia should indeed include Lottery Post in the credits/footnotes, not only to give credit but also to refer people to this site. They do a disservice to their customers by omitting it. I often click on the source links at the bottom of a Wikipedia page in order to learn more about a topic. In the March 15, 2018 article you linked to in your last message, it looks like you updated the list at the end: Top 25 26 United States lottery jackpots of all time. Wil

Are there any statistics of percentage of PB and/or MM winners from each state?Reply
Todd: Thanks very much for the link! That's exactly what I was looking for. In the article where it lists multiple states for a jackpot, does that mean that there were multiple winners who split the jackpot? It's probably a dumb question, but for example, in the first on the list, was it split between three winners: Powerball: $1.5864 billion, Jan. 13, 2016 - California, Florida, Tennessee. I didn't realize Wiki and others have taken info from Lottery Post without giving credit. If anyone
