After all, her mother Amy McCauley is a two-time lottery winner. I figured my mom was hogging all the luck. This is so overwhelming, but it's a good kind of overwhelming, Kimberl

Lottery ticket frenzy as Euro Millions reaches record highReply
All Lotteries should be that way!! TAX FREE is how it should be. It amazes me how we are told we are free here in America yet over in Europe you can hit a jackpot, take home the ENTIRE advertised value and not be taxed on it (except in Switzerland). But here in the good ol' us of a where you are supposed to be the FREEST in all the universe, you are taxed to the bejezzers when you hit a jackpot or any other significant amount to boot. As if it's your duty to be stripped of a significant amount o

Ohio has its Classic Lotto (a 6/49 game) with a starting jackpot of $1M and rolls at least $100K each drawing until it's won. Saturday's jackpot will be $20.9M with a 30 yrs annuity (Cash Value 50%) and its tickets cost $1. I don't see Ohio adding a similar game but it seems like the kind of game many have been asking for (smaller jackpots with larger lower tiers prizes). Now lets see if it attracts more players. combination size 6 basic pool size 49 (B) bonus numbers none smal

$290 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery rocket-rideReply
I have absolutely no idea why I haven't won the jackpot yet. After all, I did spend $33 last year on Powerball, Mega Millions and Win For Life, altogether. I probably spent 5 to 10 times as much an Cash 3 and Fantasy 5 mainly due to their superior odds. I realize that while winning either of those will not necessarily change my lifestyle forever, and that I would still most likely need to work. Maybe I will be a sucker like thousands of others and buy 20 tickets or so. I spend the most on instan
