Lottery Winner Rides Away in Style

Not all lottery games have cash as their ultimate prize. Increasingly, cars and trips and other goodies are the jackpots in play. Motorcycles are particularly popular prizes. And Harley-Davidson scratch cards seem to be in vogue all over the country. I can’t begin to tell you how many motorcyle winners I’ve met over the past [...]

Car Crash Victim Wins Canadian Lottery

Photo by Dagona When bad things happen to good people, you can sometimes count on the lottery to make amends. At least that is how it sometimes seems to me. Twenty one years ago, Canadian Paul Jaques was involved in a car crash that permanently injured his back. And then he won the lottery, with [...]

Alert: Mega Millions Winning Ticket Bought in Georgia

Georgia is on my mind this morning. Never mind that I went to college there… A very lucky ticket holder in Georgia won last night’s $42 million jackpot. More details as they become available. One ticket holder in California was also a big winner, matching the first five numbers, but not the Mega Ball. This [...]

The Ritual of Buying Lottery Tickets: What do you do?

Before California had Mega Millions, their big money game was SuperLotto Plus, a lotto game very much like Mega Millions. You have to pick five numbers from 47 and then a Mega number from a field of 1-27. And while more attention in California is always focused on the huge numbers brought in by the [...]

Illinois Lottery Ticket to Fund Multiple Sclerosis Research

In all my years of covering the lottery business I’ve never seen a scratch game dedicated solely to funding the research aimed at fighting a disease. Well, now I’ve seen everything. And it’s awesome! [Why don’t more lotteries do this, considering the funding problems so many researchers have these days?] In September, Illinois announced the [...]

Powerball Alert: No Saturday Powerball Winner. Jackpot rises to $42 Million

Three tickets matched the first five balls, missing only the Power Ball. Those tickets were bought in Colorado (one ticket with Power Play, [...]

82-Year Old Two-Time Winner Hits $122,073 Lottery Prize in Georgia

So many of the winners I’ve spoken to over the years say, “Well, my persistence finally paid off.” This is particularly pleasing when I see a senior citizen win a big prize. Latest to hit my desk comes from Georgia. C.L. Russell, who will celebrate his 82nd birthday on Oct. 23, matched all five winning [...]

Hey, L.A.: Time is Running Out on a $184,000 Winning Ticket

An official in the communications department at the California Lottery (with whom I once worked), told me about a winning ticket that’s still out there somewhere, worth $184,000. The ticket is a Mega Millions ticket for the April 25 draw. It was bought at Astro Liquor, at the corner of South Avalon Boulevard and East [...]

The British Love Lottery Pools Too

Over the past week, with big lottery pool winners in New Mexico and Pennsylvania, I’ve been preparing a “How To” form a legal lottery pool. Part One of that series was published last week. I’ll continue the series once a week on a date to be determined. Meanwhile, shame on me. To be so arrogant [...]
