Was folding laundry this morning, turned the tv on. It was the today show. I heard the story, saw the store, they said they had footage of her buying the ticket, so I googled it. It appears to be true.
It will be interesting.

They have footage of her buying a ticket? Or the winning ticket?

Evidently it’s a time stamped thing. No actual shot of the numbers but she’s buying a lottery ticket at the time the machine printed the numbers. The court case will be interesting. Top of my head I don’t think she gets the money.

Lottery officials say someone who believes he or she is a winner must complete a claim form. But if someone loses a ticket, they must provide evidence that they owned it, such as a photograph of the front and back of the ticket, the officials said.

Give her the money. Or at least part of it.

I won $100 on lotto 47. First time winning that much on one of these. No one won the jackpot though.

Yeah. I'd do it too.

Been watching the MI Classic Lotto pot for months. Someone bought the winning ticket in Prudenville for last Saturday's drawing. Almost $18.5M. Pretty sure CL hasn't been won since last year.

Powerball and Mega Millions get more attention despite the far more ridiculous odds.

Had a bunch of weird dreams during my short covid sleep sessions.  Won $2M in one of them on Thursday.

Saw Fantasy Five was $185K tonight so bought 3 easy picks online.  Winning numbers were 2, 19, 20, 26 & 37.  My numbers were 2, 19, 20, 26 & 38.  Won $100 so bought 5 Powerball easy picks for tonight.

Totally forgot about it. Rats.

That's pretty cool.
Good luck!

No luck on Powerball but nobody won FF and it's up to $219K tonight. Time to "reinvest" lol

Mega is at 830M right now.

This CEO bought 50k tickets and promises to share with his employees. I still feel like there's a catch if that happens.

Math isn't that great if you are splitting it 50,000 ways

That's what I thought.
At the same time you think, it's better than nothing. But it doesn't talk about an even split. And of course factor in cash option and taxes. Seems kinda pointless.

I originally misheard it on the news. I heard it as the CEO was giving everyone a ticket, and would split it with you if you won. That, I thought was cool.

So I bought 20 dollars with today. 10 tickets. Why? I usually do one two dollar. Why do I think 9 more makes a difference? Hope whomever wins it is deserving.

Going to send each of you Geronte's a hundred thousand bucks if I win. Maybe some others...

If I win, what game do the Swill members want hotel suites at the Graduate and a Suite in Spartan stadium, plus transportation to and from East Lansing? Limo to take us to a tailgate too.

OSU?

Yes

Instead of a giant Sparty looking over the stadium it could be a giant Dwags.

If I ever become a billionaire I always said I would build parking structures all over campus and them free.

I was in Kansas city for some work business. I bought some lotto. I know none of us will win, but buying it in a different state makes you feel like you might get lucky. Which is so dumb. But I guess we all dream

Driving up to Brimley tomorrow. My grand plan was to buy 40 bucks worth at small towns along the way. 5 or so each place.

Miss tTy. He'd have a Swill lottery pool organized in a couple hours.
