You Can't Lose If You Don't PlayReply
Once again well said Aftist77. I remember reading a novel about an Army fort and one of the soldiers on all night duty (called CQ, charge of quarters) was bored to tears so they typed up a 'warning' about an outbreak of 'suspect external scabosis' on the post and what they intended as a joke got picked up by someone who brought to headquarters! Come to think of it lotterology and suspect external scabosis sound very similar.

Ohio husband's lottery luck leads to wife's $300,000 winReply
Strange story. He spent 20.00 of his 150.00 for 4 5.00 Cash Words for her and I will go out on a limb here and say he probably was familiar with the game and it's prize structure. She is happy as a clam to get the 4 tickets and scratched them in front of her friends when they were out doing something else that I guess wasn't too exciting. She downloaded the app and was fairly confident she won 300k. She tried calling him to no avail so instead of going home she stayed with her friends which was

Michigan man claims record $32.9 million Lotto 47 jackpot with numbers he's used for 20 yearsReply
What are you saying? He took the lump sum not the annuity. Having recently claimed his prize at Lottery headquarters in Lansing, he chose to receive his winnings as a one-time lump sum payment of about $22.8 million rather than take annuity payments for the full amount. Congrats to the big winner!!

Question about online lotteriesReply
Can only speak for the Kentucky's online lottery. Mostly play 4 minute Keno, but have played some of the daily games. Probably the most asked question is about collecting winnings. With any winnings over $600, they'll send a check or players can collect at the lottery headquarters the next day. It's easy depositing funds into a player account using the same methods for most online purchases. Only winnings can be withdrawn so I wouldn't suggest anyone depositing too much money at one time. P

Hi folks, I'm writing to inform you that you are no longer obligated to eat liverwurst or oliveloaf sandwiches before purchasing your tickets.

$1.1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot increased in longest-ever winless streakReply
That's what I was thinking for instance I win .. I move to the nontax state that I purchased the winning ticket in I establish residency .. how long that would take I don't know ..... let's say 6 months. I walk into lottery headquarters and claim my winnings ie validate my ticket.
