Canadians need to be creative about buying, redeeming Powerball lottery ticketsNews Story
Includes video report With Canadians in a frenzy to get a piece of the U.S. Powerball draw, consumer advocates say people should exercise caution before forking out cash for tickets.

$800 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot approaches billion-dollar rangeReply
The odds for PA Pick-2 is 1 in 100, and it's a struggle to win $50 on that. Powerball is ~2,922,201 times more difficult. To put it another way, the entire population of California (~39 million) could each buy a ticket, and yet still have only a 1 in 7 chance of hitting the jackpot. While such a large purchase would likely yield some 2nd and 3rd tier winners, a smaller sub-set may not. I regularly check PA Lottery detailed results for Powerball, and there are drawings in which the top base

John Sorry for the delay getting back to you. Looks like winsum has offered to provide you the updated databases. Your 5-35 sounds like the cat's meow and if I can offer one bit of advice it would be to settle on one game and stick to it. They all look the same when dealing with digits but each one has it's own little quirks and moving around between different games spells disaster. I started playing the P-4 for a few weeks and then returned to my 5-39 and last night missed 90% of

Largest-ever UK Lotto jackpot has players... angry?News Story
By Todd Northrop In the United States, a record jackpot is cause for celebration and waves of ticket-buying, but in the United Kingdom players are bemoaning tomorrow night's record 42.2 million (US$62.62 million) Lotto jackpot and threatening to boycott the game, according to local media reports. Apparently having a jackpot won frequently is more important to Brits than the size of the pot. Tomorrow's record 42.2 million jackpot is the result of a record 10th rollover. The reason for th

$63 million California Lottery ticket expires soonNews Story
State no longer publishes surveillance video of ticket purchases to find winners A $63 million Super Lotto prize may become the largest unclaimed prize in California, but many prizes big and small go unclaimed every year, a spokesperson for the California Lottery Commission said Saturday. Roughly $25 million per year in winnings are not claimed, said Alex Traverso. So, it's quite a bit of money when you add it up, he said. The lottery winner in Southern California still has not clai

I've won about $50,000 and spent about $100,000 after stupid scratch offs. ODDS are AGAInST You !!! Your chance of Winning Million dollars are about the same if you buy 1 Ticket or Whole Roll. lets say winning odds are 1 in 5 million. By the math of statistical probability, count 1 is very close to count 100 or even 1000 when compared to the millions. A lady in SpringHill , Florida bought only 1 ticket ( and that was her first time playing Florida Cash $25 ticket) and she won 1 mill

NJ Lottery officials still investigating cause of massive outageNews Story
The exact cause and circumstances of a five-day outage that blocked nearly half of New Jersey's lottery retailers from selling printed tickets like Pick 3 and Mega Millions earlier this month are still a mystery, but a few determinations are unanimous. The blackout, although anomalous, was unacceptable, may have been detected sooner and should have been handled better, state officials and executives from Northstar New Jersey, the group responsible for the lottery's sales and marketing, said a
