Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
I'm surprised that you got that completely backwards. With fixed annual payments the advertised annuity would be less than the inflated advertising value they get by keeping more money invested for a longer time. Of course advertising that smaller annuity would almost certainly reduce sales a bit, making both the cash and annuity even smaller after any given number of rolls. They tell us the graduated annuity makes sense because of inflation, but I feel very confident that that's strictly PR abo

Wisconsin Lottery launches new Wisconsin 50/50 RaffleReply
FYI- NY retailers just started advertising a special drawing with an October 26, 2025, draw date- I didn't pay any attention to the particulars.

Keep advertising and the PA Lottery will go against you. Keep your picks to yourself.

North Carolina man hides $2 million winning lottery ticket using a microwave as a safeReply
It becomes false advertising at that point. Interesting theory, but I'm pretty sure the lotteries are immune from laws against false advertising. FWIW, I once talked to a lottery security department about an issue and as long as I had him on the phone I asked if there were any official rules about what happens if a store accidentally prints two identical tickets when you're trying to buy one. There are none, at least in PA, and he specifically told me they don't consider it fraud if a retai

D.C. postal worker plans to retire after 30 years with USPS thanks to $1 million lottery prizeReply
I have seen MD lottery advertising on TV but not sure what channel since I only stream. I see a lot of DC and VA lottery advertising mostly. There is a retired 80 year old postal worker in my neighborhood who told me her pension is 80 k per year. I did not ask. Lol i was updating her pc for her a few years ago. I am sure anyone working with a good job in the DC area for 30 years probably already has over $1 million in retirement assets. I am sure the Boeing type workers already have a couple

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
Yep it's not even a top 25 jackpot per the cash value. What really matters is that the advertised annuity is #23 but the cash that a winner will almost certainly take is only #37. It's getting there, but as of now this one isn't a huge jackpot in terms of the biggest jackpots of the last few years. The 5% annual increase in payments makes the lump sum even less than it would be with constant annual payments. I'm surprised that you got that completely backwards. With fixed annual pa

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
There is no maybe about it. They have advertised that there will be (10) 1 million dollar prizes, even if only one ticket is sold. If they renege on paying out (10) 1 million dollar prizes, it is false advertising at best, and fraud at worst.
