Lottery winners share secrets of their successReply
I thought it was a good read. We hear about all the things that go wrong, now we see some examples of what to do right. It's a funny thing, there are alot of people out there who will criticize whatever a person does or say they are flat out wrong but when asked what would have been the better or right thing, the critical one has no answers or even a guess. This article gives some good answers. I run a lottery pool at work and if we ever do hit it big, I have some things I've suggested to

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
https://lite.cnn.com/2025/12/13/business/powerball-billion-dollar-jackpot-mega-millions Sounds to me like the author doesn't know much about how lotteries work or appreciate that the results of just 3 or 4 jackpot runs may not be representative. The headline screams that he's missing the clue that even if PB sales were up (they're not) due to MM's price increase it's still probability that results in billion jackpots. The average PB jackpot should have a cash value of about $195 million

$910 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot making another historic runReply
You definitely have a valid argument especially on free tax advice however when someone puts their credentials CPA next to the article they have written, then it really is worrying if the article is not sound advice. My personal thoughts would be since the subject of TAX is factual and not based on perception or preference - we have tax brackets for single, married filing jointly or married filing separately, head of household etc - then someone penning an article on any TAX subject should b

Homeless man dives into dumpster to retrieve lottery ticket worth $4.82MReply
The quote was dived into a dumpster to retrieve the winning ticket ..if you want to be so technical about it I want to be accurate about it. You understand the difference between quoting parts of the article written by a reporter and quoting the guy himself, right? You can quote several articles that say he threw the ticket away, but not a single article quotes the guy as saying he threw the ticket away. They all quote the guy saying something that sounds very much like he threw the play sl

Take5 NYReply
Last Nite: 2 8 11 27 31 Lots to talk about this morning... some of it good, other stuff aint so good! First the bad news; I recently read an article in Lotto News by Gail Howard (RIP) that I wanted to try. So yesterday I decided to give it a try. The title of the article was My Favorite Take5 Wheel. In the article Gail wrote that she got very good at picking Power Numbers . If I was any good at picking Power Numbers, which I'm not, I'd have won 3 three-baggers last nite. Instead I won

Mass. Lottery ends some scratch ticket games before grand prizes paid outReply
The article headline should be State appropriately runs their lottery . The article tries to make it sound like a scandal, but the state is doing what it's supposed to: - Stopping sales if the tickets aren't selling. The limited retail space should be filled with merchandise that is selling. That retail space costs the retailers money. And it costs the state for sales lost to other merchandise that would sell. - Stopping sales if they are sold out. Well of course! - They can't

Offshore gambling site laundered $2 million in Amazon gift cards, Feds sayReply
Todd you are so quick to pounce on this story, I wonder why?. It's no secret you have it out for 5coins, I bet you couldn't wait to re-post an article such as this. Your source is bogus, maybe it was a good idea to contact 5coins first to get their side of the story. This article does nothing but inflames fear amongst US players. Yes, Bill Frist made online gambling illegal but only for political reasons. The bottom line is you're in bed with the states because it serves the interest of LP, seem

Scamming store owner loses lottery licenseReply
as far as me judging people based on their own actions is concerned. I leave you with a famous quote: I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. -MLK Judging people based on their own actions is part of determining the content of their character. I don't buy into stereotypes. I treat people the same regardless of skin color and I don't read a news article about a crime that has been committed and then insinuate a perso

Talk to management about creating a rule that prohibits other LP members from disagreeing with threads and posts. Good luck with that because civil disagreement is part of discussion and without it, there is no Lottery Post. Fact 1, I gave a link to a Cleveland Plain Dealer article that clearly stated the $10 is the largest legal cash payoff these places can give. Fact 2, The article quoted the Ohio Attorney General as saying many of these places are fronts for illegal activities.

Is this legal?Reply
The article explained the numbers are drawn after the squares are filled in, yes, but you and the article are assuming an honestly run pool. The topic is about group of people pooling money, holding a drawing, and the winner gets a book of scratch-off tickets. You're correct the article explains when the numbers are drawn, but it doesn't answer the legal question which happens to be the topic of this thread. When are going to finally figure out if Spin is planning on cheating by rigging the
