So, I just scored €300 on the French Keno yesterday, thanks to a €20 ticket with the X3 multiplier and 7 correct numbers out of 10. That’s two wins in a month I already hit €1,000 in March. I know it’s not a life-changing amount, but damn, it feels good to be close to something bigger. When I sa...

Oh well. Someone won Powerball and it's back down to 20 Million. I can't justify playing it when my State Lotto is up to 17 Million. Guess I will just put my Powerball $2 towards the State Lotto. Suck it MegaMillions.

I know there have been quite a few posts complaining about the MM price hike to $5, but it only just hit me how it sucks the fun out of the game. For the super lotteries (MM + PB), the whole reason we pay a premium over state lotteries is the large jackpots, those 100s of millions ones! I, like ...

Lol I bet some of y'all aren't going to wait long to claim if y'all win 😆 the winning ticket was a QP I believe. https://www.wdrb.com/news/mother-and-son-from-georgetown-kentucky-win-record-167-3-million-powerball-jackpot/article_cbb928e1-46a4-4bb8-b414-d0e46e9020c9.html

If I ever win big, like multi-millions in the lottery, my plan is simple: 💰 Live off the income from my assets (dividends, bond coupons, rental income from REITs or SCPI), and never touch the principal. Some people say that’s irrational that I should just sell a small part of my portfolio each...

So, PB jumped from from 30M to 44M last night, meanwhile MM is just going up by 10M after each draw, 50M to 80M after four draws, at this pace, PB is going to overtake MM real soon. Looks like the 5 dollar ticket price is a big big factor now.

I’m looking at the payouts and for example on the California Superlotto plus is at 23m this week. The cash option being approximately 8.9 million after taxes. Now the annuity is at 431k for the first year (after taxes) it gradually increases every year and the last payment would be made in year 2...

This is a headline I saw coming from a few legacy news outlets in the last hour along with his mugshot plastered all over. People were literally just celebrating this guy and his mom winning recently. So unreal lol

Ugh, I did a Quick Pick yesterday and it had 4 consecutive numbers! I saw that and said, “Seriously?!” I know 1, 2, & 3 were just drawn for Power Ball, but that’s pretty darn rare, and my QP had four freaking consecutive numbers. I wished I had picked my own numbers. I usually feel hopeful an...

Everyone says to get an attorney if you win. How would they charge for their services? Billable hours? A percentage of the jackpot, or something in between?

I had a My name is Earl moment yesterday. I was just getting off a pretty bad shift walking to my car when I saw something by my tire. When I got closer and investigated with just my eyes I saw that it was a lottery ticket folded up. When I tell you my heart jumped out of my chest. Was this it? W...

Today Powerball turns 33, I enjoy this draw game since it’s the one I’ve won most on! Here’s to becoming the more favored game, since Mega Millions sucks w/ it price hike and little change to jackpot hikes. 😝

So, say I won $20 M, and I want to hook up some good people (for example, I have a buddy who initially loaned me 3 grand for cataract surgery and then turned around and told me it was a gift and don't worry about paying it back). Let's say I don't want people to know that I've hit...

Before the Mega Millions price increase when I played both MM and PB, I would find myself avoiding one of them if the jackpot got too high. Like if the MM was approaching one billion and the PB was 150 million, I would buy the PB every time in that or similar situations. The "smaller"...

So I always said if I should win big, my plan would be to keep half for myself, then split the rest between mine and my wife’s parents and siblings. Never really thought about giving some to friends as well. But I’ve heard a couple of friends talk about giving some if they won. One said me and m...

The Mega Millions went to $5 per ticket, per draw. The press release stated that this was done so that the prize amount would grow faster. I was fine with that. However, based on the limited information we have available, it appears this is not true. The drawing started at $50 million for the Tue...

No one won last night and the jackpot went from $50 million to $60 million. I wonder if they realize that more than doubling the cost of the tickets wasn’t a great choice.

That is all I want. To have a future with a house, retirement before my organs fail, and a future for my family. I could finally rest. State lottery had a winner and it wasn't me. Megamillions is DEAD to me till it gets to a billion Powerball do your thing...

For example, someone hit the $1 billion plus jackpot in SC but didn’t come forward for like 8 months or so and it was the attorney who did it. Do I really have to still go to work for that whole time or could I get a loan from my attorney or someone he knows that would at least cover current livi...

I played 3 tickets for $3 in my state’s classic lotto. It wasn’t much of a jackpot, but 1.5 million which can still be life changing for me to not have a mortgage. I had 4 of the correct numbers on one ticket, which won me $70. The other 2 winning numbers were on my other tickets… I had them all ...

If I won the lottery: Here’s my plan. 1. Tell my mom – and only my mom (at first) She’s been my rock, and I’d want her to know first. No big announcement, no drama. Just her. Everyone else can wait until things are set up safely. 2. Buy myself one beautiful car Probably something like an ...

So I’ve just started playing and I know mega millions is kinda controversial right now but I was thinking if the jackpot goes bellow 50 million post tax would It be worth to switch to mega millions or is it just better for me to wait for the power ball to hit 50 million before playing again?

Mom and I use to play this game a lot.. what would we do of we won a good pot size. First pay for the heart attack from winning lol j/k Take the cash payout, and take half of it and do some investments. To the point where I can live off the interest instead Pay off current home, catch up on a...

Just find a bunch of people who want to start their own business and fund them at least 50/50 and then just get all free and immediate services and collect some profit. Probably pay an accountant (although I am one as well) so none of these folks have to do their own books. They can just run the ...
