Once homeless, now a lottery winner: Colorado man gets his $1 million comebackReply
It's nice to see the Colorado Lottery in the news. I've played the 200X game a few times. One time I won $50. He's been playing scratch-off games on and off for a few years, he told the Colorado Lottery, but only when he could afford to . Jonathan will usually stick to the $5 games, recalling that the largest amount he'd ever won was $20. ... I was having a tough sales day , and it actually paid off, Jonathan recalled. My reaction was total disbelief. Those are oppos

Circle K asks judge to delay expiration date for $12.8 million Arizona Lottery jackpot amid disputeReply
Whenever I go onto a retailer buy lottery or whatever .If I see a ticket that someone didn't purchase on the machine,I always ask is it for sale and if so I'll buy..I just did that a couple of days ago on a Powerball ticket.. Unfortunately it wasn't a winner.. Yeah that was shady on the worker and he should have purchased it before the drawing.I see no problem in that..

is it luckier to buy tickets on the rich side of town?Reply
Brock Lee, This one might make people 'luckier', not blocking others from getting to a lottery machine because you put money in it and are using the front of the machine to scratch the instant ticket you bought.

Cash4life is coming to an end in two days. Truly the end of an era.Reply

Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply
How long would it take to print every Powerball ticket? AI Overview Printing every possible Powerball combination (over 292 million) using a single, standard lottery machine would take roughly 3,000 days or over 8 years . Even if printing 10,000 combinations per hour, the time required, combined with the 2-3 day window between drawings, makes it impossible for one person to buy all combinations.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I think what winoneday meant was that it was bad luck for the house. In the long run, the average jackpot won will equal the expected value. In a game like this, a drawing every few days with odds of 1 in 300 million, the long run could be many years. In a short period of time, the players can be lucky which means the house (MUSL) is unlucky. Unlike other games like pick 3 or any table game or slot machine in a casino, where more jackpots are good for business because the long run for th

Pennsylvania Lottery releases its own Cash Pop draw gameReply
I had another interaction with Cash Pop in Pennsylvania yesterday. I played a mix of Match6, Powerball, P3 and P4 on a vending machine. I fed my slips in and while it was cranking my tickets out, the screen pops up and says my free ticket had been generated. I didn't know I had a free ticket coming. When I sorted through the tickets after I got home, there was a Cash Pop ticket among them. I had played $4 in P3 and apparently playing a P3 generates a chance you'll get a free Cash Pop QP. Wha
