Virginia woman wins $50,000 Pick 5 prize on first-ever lottery ticketReply
It was probably a quick pick. Having never played the lottery before which I doubt sincerely but if true she probably would not filled out a card unless her mother gave her certain 5 digit numbers to play then maybe. Details left out of article about that part of it. Oh, I think I will play 2,9,4,2,3 isn't a combination that just pops into your head. This game would be dangerous to the Virginia lottery if 1,2,3,4,5 came in as there would probably be multiple winners.

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
Same here. Matched 3 numbers, one each on 3 lines, none of which were the Powerball. I bought 6 lines, one for each $100million of cash. Just going to keep playing with different ways to pick numbers until I find one that works.

$1.1 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot now the eighth-largest in historyReply
I just let my 3-year old son pick some random numbers that he thought are lucky. Would be a nice and funny story if his numbers miraculously win the jackpot.

$1.35 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot set to deliver unimaginable wealthReply
It was the 3 middle numbers that threw everyone off. 13-14-15, most people never play numbers in sequential order like that. So whenever they are matched in order it's usually because of a random ouick-pick.

New Jersey Lottery to offer fixed Pick 3 and Pick 4 prize amountsReply
yes, they fixed it !!!! the same way they fixed the pick 6. years ago the cost of a ticket was $1.00, and the payout for having 3 numbers (50% of selected numbers) was a fixed amount, $3.00. they FIXED that by adding more numbers, doubling the cost of the ticket, and dropping the lowest payoff tier by a dollar.....what I can't understand is why don't the other gamblers ( who are singing praise to the lottery commission ) see this...you should be singing praise to Madison Ave for the slick/greasy

New York Lottery draws identical Take 5 results two drawings in a rowReply
Because playing the previous result is a popular way to pick numbers. Maybe you and I think that's a really strange way to play, but it's what a lot of people do. Consider all the people who play 1-2-3-4-5. If that combo were drawn, there'd be hundreds, maybe thousands of winners.

Virginia man scoops $1 million in Pick 4 with 200 plays in one drawingReply
Considering the the odds of winning $200 matching 3 + 1 in MM is 1 in 14,547 and 1 in 14,494 for doing the same thing in PB to win $100, It should be obvious the pick 4 odds of 1 in 10,000 to win $5000 is a much better bet. And for the same $2, pick 4 players can get four chances to $2500.
