20-year-old Florida man claims $451M Mega Millions jackpotReply
Brad Duke is the name of the Star, Idaho winner who wants to turn his $80 million into one billion dollars. He has adjusted his time frame and said that this is a lifelong quest. The article on Shane Missler suggests kidnap and ransom insurance for very large jackpots. I heard that you should manage your new found wealth like a college endowment fund. Maintain and preserve it. An unexpected vacation away from your homes will be required of winners of this size jackpot. The media and

$570 MILLION: Powerball sales surge prompts jackpot increaseReply
When the jackpots are high, more tickets are sold. When more tickets are sold, the likelihood that a winning number will be bought is higher. I dont know how many tickets were sold but I do remember when the jackpot went over a billion, California sold over 35 million tickets. There were 511,368 winning tickets in California last night. Normally, the winning number of tickets are about a tenth of that amount. For the record, I won $4 bucks and $7 bucks, so I dont feel entirely a lose

What's Up With *Billionitis?Reply
I haven't paid that much attention to just who posts about it, but I think that there's just one person with a real obsession about whether or not we'll see another billion dollar jackpot, and a few more that may think that just getting to 300ish means there's a significant chance it will happen. And I'm pretty sure that almost everybody realizes that the talk is about the advertised amount, and that only one person has an obsession with how much the advertised amount would need to be for somebo

Merry ChristmasReply
Thank you Music. Since neither of these very large jackpots were won for Christmas, we can look forward to a NEW YEAR win? So, do think it will continue to build into 2018? Good Luck !

El Gordo holds annual Christmas drawing, awarding billionsReply
I am very happy with both Mega Millions and Power Ball and their potential to reach a billion dollar jackpot each. Many times per year. Many players are waiting for them to reach this level and then join in the fun. When you think what $2.00 can bring you then you will celebrate. We do have to factor in lottery fatigue which is when players expect higher and higher jackpots. Good Luck!

Interesting article in Nov. 2017 Money
The Nov. 2017 issue of Money had an article about Powerball. Most of what was in the article were topics already discussed on LP but the last item was a little different. That part was about bankruptcies of neighbors of jackpot winners. It mentioned that when jackpot winners male purchases of things they previously couldn't afford, the neighbors do the same, despite mot having won a jackpot. I'm sure that's not exclusive to powerball jackpots.

Winning N.J. lottery ticket worth $1 million expires FridayReply
For record-breaking Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots, I kind of understand the lackadaisical mentality. Spending a few dollars for a dream with no real intent of winning. However, for regular size jackpot drawings, I don't understand it. And even less so yet for Cash4Life, which has a set top prize that doesn't grow along with very easy to win lower tier prizes. Why would anyone buy a ticket for such a game and not check it. Doesn't make sense. In this instance, if the winner never com

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Yes, and I've witnessed reps pulling it from stores on shelves. I'll be shocked if the last 2/4 jackpots are claimed. I'm expecting at least 1 jackpot on that game to be missing . I stopped playing it when I noticed reps going around and picking it up. I think it wasn't selling well, and alot of retailers prefer to sell Gold Rush because of the name brand. How's everyone doing? I played some $20 Gold Rush, and $25 Misfortune lately in hot spots in Gainesville. Nothing over $30.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
I'm thinking any of the following could be true of Adam's recent $1M win. It is real He has insider information He is spending ALOT of money, maybe more than Donafello from NY on scratchers. His area has more jackpots because it sells more tickets by volume (Fort Myers/Cape Coral is hot) It is fake. Let's be honest, this aint statistically likely to happen... So Adam, have you claimed the $1M win? What type of new car did you purchase? Also, can you contact me in regards to #1?
