Longtime friends split $20 lottery ticket, win $1 million prizeNews Story
Two longtime friends decided that sharing a lottery ticket would improve their luck and they were right. Robert Sopsich, 30, of Hartland, and Dillan Dybilas, 20, of Ubly, were having no luck playing Michigan Lottery instant games on their own so they decided to split a $20 Millionaire Maker ticket and agreed to split the winnings. The lucky duo ended up splitting way more than they could have imagined as they won a $1 million prize. We'd each been buying tickets but hadn't won much, so

North Carolina grandfather gives lottery winnings to granddaughterReply
I guess he took care of whatever bills he had and or the house paid off feasibly, i would assume, At 85 I'd sure hope he doesn't still have a mortgage. If he has trouble with other bills there's nothing to prevent the granddaughter from giving him some, or even all, of what she collects each year thanks to him. Given his age it wouldn't make much sense to claim the prize himself since his life expectancy is far shorter than his daughter's or granddaughter's. The prize is probably worth a

$550 MILLION: Red hot Powerball jackpot rolls againReply
We can expect more news coverage with this jackpot. Local, State, and National. Maybe even inter-national. I am dreaming about winning $211,000,000.00 Being a grateful taxpayer. We do get a lot from our taxes. Defense, highways, disease control, national parks as well as memorial parks over seas, education, the Justice Department, and the three branches of Government. I am taking the Lump Sum because of my age and health. Plus we do not know how high the Democrats will raise taxes

Did Mega Millions take Powerball's crown?Reply
They just look at the numbers glowing on the lottery signage and the buy the one that has the higher number. I'd think that would often be true, but it isn't what has happened after the two big jackpots were won at the end of October. For 10/30 and 10/31 MM was $45 million and PB was $40 million. Despite the $5 million advantage MM increased to $52 million while PB increased to $53 million. Although MM was offering an extra $5 million it increased by just slightly more than half of PB's inc

Mega Millions sets world record with $1.6 billion lottery jackpot for Tuesday drawingReply
Well...... lets seeeeee shall we? MM jackpot combo possibilities = 302,575,350 Cost per ticket = $2.00 302,575,350 combos X $2.00 = $605,150,700 Current Cash value of MM jackpot = approx. $905,000,000. Minus fed taxes of 37% = $334,850,000 Jackpot net cash value $570,150,000. Difference between $605,150,700 and $570,150,000 is a net loss of $35,000,700 *** you will generate some more $ from lesser tier prizes, but not enough to make up for the $35,000,700 difference A
