U.S. Postal Service worker pleads guilty after caught stealing cash and lottery tickets from mailReply
A Federal crime and a slap on the wrist. I would think (hope) that she got fired. Post office has been terrible lately. Mailed a card over two weeks ago to Georgia. Still note there. She received Christmas cards from others and they didn't get there until mid-January. My sister mailed some Christmas cards and were never delivered this past year.

Utah man who drove across state lines to play lottery in Idaho wins $3 million Mega Millions prizeReply
Tennessee had the billboards, unlike sky high Georgia ones these weren't very high off the ground displaying lottery jackpots. For Mississippi, we went twice this summer to Biloxi and can't remember any billboards for the lottery, but sure was plenty for their casinos. Next visit will be more diligent, however with the heavy tint on the bus windows from the airport it was difficult to make anything out!

One ticket sold in California wins $1.08 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Considering the fact they are three hours behind Florida for PB and same for Georgia MM they have to close the sales early. Looked up Cumberland Gap which we drove by two weeks ago. Had PB not been won was going to drive there to get KY, VA TN tickets all within close proximity of each other. It is 144 miles from here. IDK that trick playing in other states has never panned out.
