Gaming the lottery was this couple's retirement planReply
I'm surprised that it worked out so well given that the large influx of ticket purchases during a roll-down would greatly increase the chances that someone hit the jackpot and thereby mess up the drawing for the gambling pools. Also, this tells you how hard it is to hit the jackpot given that they never actually hit the $2M or $5M jackpots despite buying insane numbers of tickets. The story does not indicate whether any of the other pools (e.g., MIT students) even hit the jackpot for a really bi

NH Lottery Commission wants Powerball winner's lawsuit dismissed, citing Right-to-Know LawReply
I think the lottery commissions, and correspondingly the media, should change the way they publicize what winners should do when playing a large jackpot (it applies in all cases but invariably the press is magnified a thousand fold with large jackpots). I have heard innumerable times that players, should immediately sign the back of their tickets . That is the nucleus of her claim- that she was instructed to sign her ticket and did so. (I believe the article states that she went to the NH Lotter

NH Powerball lottery winner sues for anonymityReply
When Powerball began, it was called Lotto America and had a jackpot limit of $80 million dollars. The reason that Lotto America was created was because the state run lotteries went into a panic at the idea of a National Lottery being created as proposed by Rep. Cardiss Collins, may she rest in peace. The $80 million cap was due to concerns of excessively large jackpots. Those days are long gone. And now well this woman is the picture. It is a concern. But the idea that $560 million dollars is wh

NH Powerball lottery winner sues for anonymityReply
Have seen many episodes where folks won multi-million dollar jackpots. Take you all through there very exquisite homes. All I can think of some nutcase will be watching and can figure out where you live. Just like years ago Sister and I were in French Lick, Indiana. We knew Larry Bird lived there. Asked for directions. Guy said go down that road there, you'll know it when you see it. He was correct.

Chinese man lives rough for 10 years to 'crack lottery code'Reply
Sparked a brain cell here and looked up Mavis Wancyk. She won the largest lottery in the USA by playing folks birthdays in Massachusetts. So naysayers mathematicians/statisticians it can and has been done, though I believe QP does have more jackpots overall.

California Super Lotto Plus Sudden DeathReply
Yep, I've been tracking SuperLotto Plus jackpots too and see the same pattern. CA Lottery has some fine print about the SLP jackpot being guaranteed , which always increases by $1 million on a rollover. I wonder if SLP sales sometimes exceed $1 million and they pocket some of that instead of increasing the jackpot by, say, $2 million. Anyway, I just thought it would be nice to have a record of the SLP jackpot estimated cash values on a website somewhere so that anyone can look them up...
