USA Mega debuts Powerball lottery annuity calculatorReply
todd:It would be TERRIBLE if the largest lottery prize in US history were to be paid through an annuity, which hasn't been the case in years. Then Jack Whittaker would have to break the new record.

Lottery fever erupts across CanadaReply
It's all over.Seventeen people who work at Viking Holdings in Sedgewick are the winners of the biggest jackpot in Canadian history splitting a record-breaking pot of $54,294,712.That works out to $3,193,806.58 per winner.Reportedly in the four days leading up to the draw Canadians spent an amazing $90 million on 6/49 tickets. Since there are only 14 millions possible combinations in a 6/49 game, I surprised there weren't more winning tickets.

Rosa Parks deadReply
Most people don't realize that what ROSA did was carefully planed. It was not a spur of the moment thing. It was well orchrasted. Another female wanted to be arrested on the bus; but because her arrest record wasn't spotless, Rosa was chosen. FREEDOM ISN'T FREE

Mega Millions lottery jackpot increased to $147 millionReply
I hope that MM goes on a record jackpot run. Congratulations to the people who won $250K on matching 5 numbers, but missed the Mega Ball.

Editgap, I'm in the challenge. However, if no one matches at least the PB or 3+0 or more, the player who does get the best match record wins. For example: 1+0 beats 0+0 and so on.My number of choice: 181-18-20-26-30 PB 301-16-18-20-26 PB 30

If there was no cap.....Reply
I don't mind the cap that much, the bonus pool was good. But I would have liked a graduated cap. 25 million the first time it hits the record, if not won, then the next roll goes up 50 million, then $75 million, ect. Very unlikely it would not be hit after the second roll. Stars

Recent MM and PB jackpots a fluke?Reply
Ok lets imagine this why don't PB or MM just start drawings at say $150 million and go up from there ? Surely there would be enough money, then we would have record jackpot,s all the time? win win deal huh?

$40 Million Lotto 6/49 CanadaReply
The best way to play big jackpots like the record $40 million is to get as many people in a lottery pool to maximize the chances while not spending too much money yourself. Is any Canadian here interested in merging our lottery pools, or helping organize a big online pool?For example, while it would be silly to spend $168 on tickets yourself, a pool can buy one or more of the $168 9-number combinations/wheels.

West, a self-employed landscape contractor who says he won the record $340 million jackpot, repeated that the family would talk to reporters Tuesday after meeting with a financial adviser.One meeting, with one adviser? This guy is not coming accross as a mental giant.
