Texas Lottery: I just received notice that I won a "second chance" LuckZone drawing prize package to the Texas Motor Speedway. The letter says it is a $46,000 value and that they have already taken out $11,000 for federal taxes. When the lotto office opens tomorrow, Monday, I am going t...

i’m a little confused on anonymity. Wouldn’t the government always know who won. like obviously going through lawyers and taxes ofc. but wouldn’t the banks know too. and you’d have to answer to a lot of others idk i feel like ur always choosing between 20 people knowing and 20,000 (which there’s ...

I bought a bunch of tickets with it 50 dollar scratch off and a few 20s and a 10 dollar scratch off. And a powerball I almost never get scratch offs except when I win like this or on my birthday. So, I am pretty happy Maintained my sobriety as well Except for a glass of wine with din...

So I’ve actually won the lottery (I won’t say which one and how much) but I’m just asking around to get the best advice on what I should do… I’m thinking of claiming the annuity and anonymous as I know a lot of ppl and don’t want people to call me or message me 24/7 with their hands out. I’m also...

I'm thinking a Lexus? No but seriously the $5 change might be worth it because they give you an automatic multiplier now

I have a good friend in Mexico who suffers from similar financial strains from me. And I’m confident no one here would ask me for money if I have some of my winnings to her.

Assuming you’re an average person belonging to any socioeconomic class aside from the wealthy class, what would your cover story be? Many folks would want to move into a better community, buy a bigger home, nicer car etc. You probably wouldn’t be working anymore. You move into the new community...

I've been playing the lottery for over 19 years, I know some of y'all have played longer than I have, never give up. https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2025/05/04/macomb-county-man-bought-scratch-offs-for-40-years-it-just-paid-off-with-6-million-win/

I’ve been playing the lottery since 1981 😫Before it was computerized. The betslips had carbon copies. You kept the carbon copy and gave the original to the ticket agent. It could take a few days for the lottery office to determine how many jackpot winners they had. I always wondered how I coul...

In the dream house, I'd build the ultimate sound system for my home theater and maybe even my office using Klipshchorn speakers; yes they are on sale for only $20K. When I was a teen I cobbled together a stereo system by scanning the want-ad sections and spending my hard-earned paper-route mo...

Most people want to help the world. After a few years of working a job that was basically pointless and tedious, I was thinking about how I could help the world. I could help the homeless vets, the forsaken animals, I could move to Africa and help build wells, and on and on. I could do any of the...

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...
