MADDOG'S Powerball Challenges (Discussion)Reply
It turns out, the answer is at the Link I've been tacking onto my Powerbal (Summaries) postings every week! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerball Scroll down to the section entitled Winning Expectation. It's all spelled out there. The table even details examples of various cash and annuity amounts. I was correct that about 1/3 of ticket sales is what the cash option should be, and wrong in assuming it is not, because IT IS! If I had payed more attention to this article, I would have notic

Florida shopkeeper accused of taking tourist's lottery winningsReply
The article reads: Farah told him the ticket was worth $600. ''When he looked, nothing came up on the machine,'' said the victim. ''But he printed out this piece of paper that said I had won $600.'' I wonder what date AND time was listed on this 'receipt' for $600 [does anyone have a photo of it that they can upload for us?] I wonder why the vacationing winner didn't also take a photo of this piece of paper before leaving the store for the final time that day. I wonder if the Farahs

Man files 27 lawsuits over alleged lost lottery ticketReply
As the judge said in this article: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/75672/143056 it is not 'finder's keepers, losers weepers,' as we learn in the schoolyard. If Mr. Mendez bought the ticket, he has a claim to it. The fact was Mr. Mendez testified he only remembered buying the ticket a week later, when the winning numbers and the store at which the lucky ticket was bought were published in the local newspaper and even though the ticket was an auto pick the first two digits 7 and 11 had stu

Ex-wife gets millions from lottery winner 10 years after leaving himReply
with you time*treat! One would think that if you pay all fees to obtain the super expensive divorce paperwork that it would mean that the relationship between the two married folks would indeed be FINALLY severed. Yet, reading this article, we are taught that divorced doesn't really mean anything ... even if you have the official, certified paperwork to prove that you thought that severance took place either months, years, or decades earlier. Therefore, what are we left to understand that d

Raven62, Their's more to tracking then just the Number of Hits during the Sample Period: Like: How long has it been since the Last Hit. Given this comment, I'm surprised you haven't taken this article more seriously, which I posted earlier in this thread. Substitute BALL for PAGE.

Canadian couple gives away entire $11.2M lottery jackpotReply
This wasn't US though, so that's the amount they got. It didn't go half because of advertised annuity and then half again for taxes (I know it's not actually half here but you get what I'm saying). In the Washington Post it actually said they won $10.9 million and they gave $10.6 million away (98%). http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/04/AR2010110404948.html This is a good story to here, though. My first thought was well if you didn't want the mon

Israel Lottery draws same numbers twice in monthReply
Mark Haigh, I'm still looking forward to the day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 gets drawn somewhere - that'll really upset a lot of people who insist such combinations are impossible :-) Yes, that will be fun!

$116M Georgia Powerball winner claims prizeReply
What a waste of Powerball money, re-elect a man that's taking this country BACKWARDS. These Democrats are going to have a rude awakening come Nov. Anyone see this article? http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/104816414.html It talks about billboards that are warning people that voter fraud is illegal and the Democrats are all up in arms. WHY?!?!?! If you're not doing anything illegal, why the worry!??!

Explains how well the so-called teaparty types are so informed. They can't read for themselves andcomprehend anything. The only mention of taxes in the article is Render chose the cash option so he'll only be getting $63 millionbefore taxes. That's how the lottery works. You can take the fullamount over thirty years, or you can take the seed-money-only cashoption immediately. Will there be taxes? Yes. But if you're going tocomplain again about the taxes, at least get it right. From a Tr
