I'm done playing the lotteryReply
What made me mad is that both sides blamed the other. The lottery can tell how much I spent on scratch-offs because those tickets are eligible for a second chance drawing. In their files is a list of tickets I've scanned for second chance drawing entries. But they decided they would rather stick to their guns and blame the retailer, and while they might be right according to the official rules, I also don't have to play their games. And if I do choose to buy any tickets, it certainly won

I am coming to your State 😁Reply
I once received a $100 check on a second chance drawing from the Louisiana Lottery and it came in a window envelope with the logo and address like the one in the picture.

will you play the new $5 mega millions?Reply
I'll pass on the new Mega Millions at $5 a pop. I'll take the $4 a week I play on MM and buy more CA Superlotto instead. Much lower jackpots for sure, but way lower odds and still a few million bucks won is plenty for me. AND my losing tickets can be entered in the second chance drawing, which is something I have won once back in the old Big Spin days.

UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
I will not be playing the game until it reaches 2 Billion. That's my starting point. Same for Powerball if they follow this foolishness. See we control everything y'all, if we don't feed into the money grab idea and everyone do same as me than they will see ticket sales decline and go back to normal. It's all driven by what the players do. I remember telling someone years ago when they raised it to $2 that if this becomes successful by us purchasing tickets they will raise it to $5 in the next 3

DC Lottery introduces Washington D.C.'s first $50 scratch-off ticketReply
That makes sense. Even with the top prize being only $1.52 million, this is actually a very good return for a lottery. 82.6% of the ticket price is awarded in prizes (including the second chance drawing). Previously the highest I ever saw was the Texas $50 scratch-off at 75%. Usually a lottery will rip you off with a measly 50% payback. Some of the games are a little better at 60% but still not worth playing. If I were going to drop $50 on the lottery all at once, I would play this g

Illinois: 12/1 - 12/31/2024Reply
Cdonnaj59, I typically purchase my tickets thru online in IL as I'm known for last minute selections. IL mails me a check in about 1-2 weeks. Smaller wins go straight into the bank account. Above $600 they cut a check. I believe you can make an appointment to pick it up in local office, which closest to me is Fairview Heights (right across Hwy 64/40 from St. Clair Mall). I've made an appointment before and had to pick up a check before with a straight Pick 4 win (gotta show license and s
