$20M Mega Millions winner didn't believe lottery scannerNews Story
A lottery player scanned his tickets at a Shirley, New York, convenience store called JackSpot! and when the screen flashed BIG WINNER, he told the cashier, The machine is broken. But it wasn't he was holding the $20-million Mega Millions ticket, the mystery jackpot winner sought by the New York State Lottery since the March 25 drawing, said convenience store co-owner Howie Frank and cashier Laura Marckesano. He's not catching what I'm saying, said Marckesano, who scanned the ticket twic

Why does the Mega Millions Jackpot not start at $40 mil?
If PB can do it- why not MM? What is the issue- anyone know? By now the powers that be must know that the public is behind this new format- why not show their true colors by starting above the paltry $15 mil? The starting price is an insult..IMHO compared to PB. Thoughts?

Bronx woman hits $2M Powerball prize with fortune cookie numbersReply
You know what, i've been thinking of doing similar to your suggestion, it occurred to me one day walking through the woods.. I know it sounds crazy but one draw i plan buy like 100 tickets of the same numbers but was thinking of Mega Millions. Its something i'll definitely do one day. Like if i get a dream or have a 'feeling' about a set of numbers. Just think, you could buy 100 MM tickets with multiplier and end up winning $500 MILLION. What the Heck would they do? They'd be investigating for a

22 N.Y. coworkers' complicated journey to claim $1 million prizeReply
OS, I might agree with you in most cases until I read this article from an Atty that made a claim for a couple who won $35 million on the MM back in May 2011. His firm is out of Ft.Worth Fort Worth, TX (PRWEB) July 21, 2011 -- In May, the lives of two Texans were changed forever when they won the thirty-five million dollar jackpot in the Mega Millions lottery. Who are these lucky people? Well, unless you are part of their family or circle of closest friends, you are not likely to know. In

You win the powerball or mega millions, Taxes owned??
Say you win 93 million, federal and your state taxes are taken out. Now for the next year, do you just own income taxes on what you received from your winnings? ( you did not work, you are retired ) Example: cash take home after lottery corporation takes federal and your state taxes out is 52 million. Now for the next year, you will have to pay 5.75% income taxes on the 52 million that you won in the previous year. Does that sound close to being correct?

$180 Mistake! What would you have done?Reply
In Florida you can not cancel Mega Millions tickets. The only time I have bought Mega Millions is when it was 600+ million last month. Other than that no I do not try and confuse the clerk. Like I stated, I say, I need 20 QP for Florida Mega Money with (x amount) advance plays, so it needs to be between the dates of xx-month to xx-month. Oh well. I've never had problem with anybody else before. Guess I just start going to a new store.

California delivery driver claims half of $648 million jackpotReply
Even USAMega couldn't believe there was already a winner: 1:03 am Mega Millions: There was no jackpot winner in the Friday, January 03, 2014 Mega Millions drawing... It sure confused me when I saw $15 Million for the amount after seeing that. I don't know if I ever said it, but I had a feeling the next jackpot win wouldn't be nearly as big.
