How much taxes does she owe on that? She can barely afford another lottery ticket.

Erik Braggadacio pic is a hoax. Look at the multiple letters on the left side. On a real ticket each line is a pick. It’s a $10 ticket not a $2 one. He obviously photoshopped the winning number from the other lines and blotted them out, although he did a decent job of it. I’m glad because he seems pretty obnoxious and would get old fast on the talk show circuit lol.

ROFL I agree, someone posted the real ticket. Looks like they paid $20 and all were Quickpicks

Manitowoc Sheriff’s Dept? The now famous villains in the “Making of a Murderer” Steve Avery case? That HAS to be a hoax.

Your ticket will print out the numbers in value/sequence/hierarchy... as in lowest numbers to highest numbers. I just checked mine (3 sequences) before posting.

Oh. Maybe it is a hoax. It would be awfully fast to know who bought the ticket.

Thanks! I did not know that.

I had just the Powerball, but I paid $1.00 extra for the “Power Play,” which was 2 times for this particular drawing, so I guess I won $8.00.

The Maine Lottery Commission web site is very slow.....I think it crashed.

Did you hear about the sad sacks in the UK? Apparently their lottery allows you to purchase tickets via an app using money you load on monthly basis from your credit card. Some pensioner couple played the same numbers regularly and finally turned up a winner for something like $50M...but their account was low on cash and didn’t automatically replenish until the next day to pay for the ticket in full. The bean counters wouldn’t give it to them.
