Once homeless, now a lottery winner: Colorado man gets his $1 million comebackReply
It's nice to see the Colorado Lottery in the news. I've played the 200X game a few times. One time I won $50. He's been playing scratch-off games on and off for a few years, he told the Colorado Lottery, but only when he could afford to . Jonathan will usually stick to the $5 games, recalling that the largest amount he'd ever won was $20. ... I was having a tough sales day , and it actually paid off, Jonathan recalled. My reaction was total disbelief. Those are oppos

I'm done playing the lottery
I've spent $200 on PB tickets and plenty of money on scratch-off tickets at the vending machine at Safeway on Wadsworth 38th Ave in Wheatridge, CO. I didn't win very much, which I expected given the prize structure of that game. The last time I went there, I scanned $40 worth of winning scratch-off tickets, selected 8 $5 tickets, and when I hit check out , the machine did nothing. I asked the clerk and she told me to contact the Colorado Lottery. I did, and their response was that the retail

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Since the race began when Mega Millions ticket prices were raised to $5, the Powerball jackpot reached about $1.8 billion twice. Whereas, Mega Millions reached just shy of $1 billion only once. What exactly is the race ? If we're talking about bang for the buck(s) PB's cheaper price usually makes it the better bet, but at any given moment the jackpot divided by the ticket cost is as close as there is to a sensible metric for deciding which game to play. Right now MM's chance at $138 million

$1.8 billion Powerball jackpot won by a single lottery ticket sold in ArkansasReply
Would've preferred it to have set new record myself.... I suspect that nobody is more unhappy about having a winner on Wednesday that the people at PB. Not only would a rollover have let them boat about a (possibly legitimate) new record, their 50% take for Saturday's sales would probably have been on the order of $200 million more than what it will be for a $20 million jackpot. It appears that all 292.2 million combination of tickets were sold out. The jackpot keeps growing until all 2

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Let's see if PB can squeeze out another billion dollar jackpot before the holidays. As long as nobody wins, which is very likely, it will definitely reach a billion before the holidays unless you're counting minor and obscure holidays such as Christmas card day or National llama day, which are both next Tuesday (really). If the current estimates are right and tonight and Monday are at 820 and 975 the probability of rollovers are .892 and .919, so the chance of a big jackpot next Wednesd

Mississippi Lottery halts Cash 3 triple payout promotion one week inReply
Those funds intended to pay out the prizes tells us that they knew the promotion would cost them money Those funds were apparently only enough for six days and not for the entire month of November they advertised. There is no specific limit on the number of Mississippi Cash 3 tickets an individual can purchase for a single drawing; players can generally buy as many as they want. Can't find if there is an aggregate payout limit, but if there is no limit, in another week players that
