$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
I thought a lottery ticket is a bearer's instrument (it is written so on the back of many tickets). Some basic vetting is appropriate (i.e., where when did you buy this ticket?), but police interviews, checking the store's video feed, waiting months to award you the money, etc.) is way over-the-top. It seems like nowadays they (the state lotteries) can potentially come up with any reason for refusing to give you the money you won, and I think that's way too much power for them when in fact WE (l

Lottery Hanky PankyReply
Anytime computers and networking is involved, there's always room for hanky panky. As an IT admin, with enterprise rights, anything can be done and all these lotteries are networked. The speed at which things are calculated should have no room for error, unless it's 'human error' which means manipulation/tampering. Code it, program it, run it, check for errors, if all is proper, leave it alone. But when jackpots get this big, and supposedly the lottery proceeds are meant for education(either a l

Kentucky woman quits job after winning $90,000 in the lotteryReply
I did not say she didn't. I have a business degree but I wasn't where I wanted to be so I took a few classes at a community college and ended up in a better job. A little extra education can help in many cases. Whatever she does, I wish her well.

California Lottery announces group as winners of historic $1.765 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Interesting. I think the education system in Britain is much better than United States. The British appear to understand probabilities much better. In Britain, most jackpots are won by pools. They are referred to as syndicates in Britain. There is mathematical proof. Your odds of winning increase dramatically with more tickets bought.

what is the very first thing you would buy if you won the lottery?Reply
Here's some education for you....STUPID. I don't live in the Panhandle. What happened up there is no laughing matter. People lost homes, barns, livestock, crops, EVERYTHING. Some even lost family members. So we have some f-ing jerk from Georgia who wouldn't know a cow from a horse laughing about a real tragedy in Texas and Oklahoma (yes the fire went in to Oklahoma too). Just SHUT YOUR FACE STUPID.

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
This was the only unclaimed Mega Millions jackpot ticket in 2023 Only one? With just 6 jackpots in 2023 what are the odds that only 16.67% of them would go unclaimed? Using that math formula, 80% of $36 million is $28.8 million (which goes to education), and 20% is $7.2 million (going back to future prizes). Using a better formula 80% is $13.92 million because they're probably not going to put that money in to a 29 year annuity.
