A Warrensburg man is making plans for his and his family’s future after he won $200,000 playing Powerball. Robert "Bob" Showers, 56, won the game’s second-level prize when his ticket matched the five white-ball numbers drawn on Jan. 23. He purchased his winning ticket at Country Market, 410 E.

Showers, a professor at the University of Central Missouri, said he purchased his ticket on Jan. 21 while shopping for groceries.


A few days later, Showers gave his ticket to his fiancée, Rebecca, to have her check to see if it was a winner.
Showers said he thought she was kidding when she called to tell him what the ticket was worth.

Showers let the computer Quick Pick his winning numbers, which were: 4, 16, 35, 47 and 48. His ticket was the 85th second-level winning Powerball ticket since the game redesign on Aug. 28, 2005.

Ft Worth, Tx. STARTS NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT WITH MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT WIN

TEXAS STARTS NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT WITH MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT WIN


AUSTIN, Tx., Others may have enjoyed events on December 31, but it was only after the New Year’s Eve
revelry quieted that John Jones of Fort Worth really began celebrating. On January 1, his
numbers (13 16 25 30 54 and Mega Ball 11) came up for the Mega Millions drawing with an advertised jackpot of $33 million.
According to Jones, It’s been an unbelievable experience.
He purchased his Quick Pick numbers at the C-Store Sub Express located at
3201 N. Beach St. in Fort Worth. Because he chose the Cash Value Option,
he will receive a single payment of $20,024,272, before taxes. The retailer
is also eligible to receive a bonus of $330,000 for selling the winning ticket.
The C-Store Sub Express hasn’t seen the last of Jones, though. He says he’ll
keep playing the game that paid off so well.
There is another drawing on Friday, he said. We’ll probably get tickets on the way home.
As Texas Lottery Commission Executive Director Anthony J. Sadberry
points out, there are two winners in this story.

02/01/08 $200,000 Powerball Ticket Sold in Carrington


Bismarck, ND On Saturday night, December 22, Lady Luck found a player with a winning Powerball ticket worth $200,000. The ticket was sold at Highway Standard in Carrington. The winning numbers were: 5, 10, 11, 34, 38 and the Powerball number was 21. A $200,000 winning ticket matches all five numbers, but not the Powerball. The ticket was purchased without the Power Play option.
The Lottery encourages players to check their tickets for winning numbers and sign their tickets to protect their prize. Lottery Director Chuck Keller said, “Before you do anything else, sign the back of your ticket. Your ticket is your only claim for the prize.” Winning players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prizes.
This is the second $200,000 win for North Dakota Lottery players in the past month. For the November 21 draw, a $200,000 winning Powerball ticket was sold in Fargo at Stop N Go. If Saturday’s winner had purchased the Power Play option, the $200,000 prize would have been multiplied by 4, making the prize worth $800,000.

New Mexico Lottery Enhances Hot Lotto Game

01/23/08 New Mexico Lottery Enhances Hot Lotto Game


Sizzler Feature Multiplies Prizes by Three
Net Revenues Support Legislative Lottery Scholarships January 3, 2008


ALBUQUERQUE The New Mexico Lottery today introduced a feature that will give Hot Lotto® players a chance to win larger prizes.
Called Sizzler, the feature will automatically multiply all non-jackpot prizes by three on every drawing. With Sizzler, a winning $10,000 Hot Lotto ticket will be multiplied into a $30,000 prize. The Sizzler feature costs an additional $1 per play and is available now at 1,100 lottery retailers statewide.
To play Hot Lotto, players select five numbers from one to 39 and one Hot Ball number from one to 19. Each play is priced at $1. Players can win prizes by matching their numbers to the numbers drawn in one of nine ways. Hot Lotto jackpots start at $1 million and increase by at least $50,000 per drawing until someone wins. Drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday evenings.
The New Mexico Lottery had its first Hot Lotto jackpot winner in August 2007 when Edward Boyd of Farmington matched the drawn numbers of 3, 11, 18, 34, 38 and the red Hot Lotto of 3. Boyd and a player in Minnesota shared the estimated $2 million annuity jackpot equally.

Lucky Man Wins Illinois Lottery Twice In Two Years

01/29/08 Lucky Man Wins Illinois Lottery Twice In Two Years


Glen Ellyn resident wins $1 million from Illinois Lottery instant ticket
and encourages others to stay hopeful Glen Ellyn, IL January 17, 2008


Viswanathan Puthenmadom must be the luckiest man around.In March of 2006 he won $2 million from an Illinois Lottery instant ticket, and
recently won another $1 million from the Double My Million instant ticket.
Puthenmadom, an IT manager, was on his way to work when he decided to stop at a
local convenience store to cash in on a small winning he received from a Lotto drawing the
previous evening. Before leaving, he purchased a couple of instant tickets, which he now buys
frequently after winning in 2006. He enjoys playing the $10 and $20 instant tickets the most
because he feels the odds are better. As it turned out, the odds were in his favor and both
tickets purchased that day resulted in a win for Puthenmadom. The first ticket prize amount
was $20, while the second ticket gained him an additional $1 million. Although this is
Puthenmadom’s second time winning the Illinois Lottery, he said he has remained pretty
composed given the circumstances.

Richmond Woman Finds A $100,000 Lottery Ticket

Richmond Woman Finds A $100,000 Lottery Ticket In Her Wallet

January 28, 2008

You’ve heard the phrase “What’s in your wallet?” Apparently no one asked Virginia Grainer of Richmond, because she walked around with a $100,000 Virginia Lottery ticket in her wallet for nearly a month before she realized it was a big winner.

The ticket was for the December 19, 2007, Cash 5 night drawing. She bought the ticket at Varina Market, located at 4110 Darbytown Road in Richmond while she was running errands at lunchtime.

When she finally checked the numbers, she excitedly told her husband, “I think we did it! I think that’s us!”

The winning numbers were 4-9-10-31-33. She used the Easy Pick function and allowed the computer to randomly select her five numbers.

Cash 5 drawings are held daily at 1:59 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. The odds of winning the $100,000 top prize are 1 in 278,256.

Since 1999, all Virginia Lottery profits have been designated solely to K-12 public school education in the Commonwealth. In that time, the Lottery has turned over more than $3.4 billion for Virginia’s public schools, currently representing about 7 percent of annual state funding for public education in Virginia. In 19 years, the Lottery has awarded more than $10 billion in prizes to players and more than $1 billion in retailer commissions.

The History of the Florida State Lottery

About the Florida state operated Lotto


The History of the Florida State Lottery



The Florida Lottery was created in 1986 with a constitutional amendment passed by a two-to-one margin. Voters gave their approval to create a lottery that used all its proceeds to enhance public education in Florida. Governor Bob Martinez and the Florida Legislature established just such an education Lottery and dedicated it to “maximize revenues to education to allow the people of Florida to benefit from significant additional moneys while providing the best Lottery games available.”


Driven by the legislative mandate for tickets to go on sale by January 18, 1988, the Lottery’s “start-up” was a year of dynamic activity: On July 16, 1987, former Governor Bob Martinez appointed Rebecca Paul the Lottery’s first permanent Secretary; employees were hired; vendors for On-line and Scratch-Off games were contracted; retailers were recruited, and trained; tickets dispensers and lottery terminals were installed at Florida Lottery retail locations throughout the state.


On January 12, 1988, Florida Lottery ticket sales began six days ahead of schedule with the launch of the Lottery’s first Scratch-Off game, “MILLIONAIRE.” The $1 game was an instant hit. In its first week, the game exceeded $95 million in sales, and the Florida Lottery set a Lottery industry record. As a result of the success of “MILLIONAIRE,” the Lottery was able to repay the original startup money borrowed from the state’s General Revenue Fund, $15.5 million plus interest on January 29, 1988, 17 days after startup.


Lottery fever swept across Florida and the public eagerly embraced the Florida Lottery as it achieved many “firsts” in its debut year. Players snapped up the new games and made many of them perennial favorites, even today. The first On-line games, FLORIDA LOTTO and CASH 3 , were introduced on April 29, 1988. Beginning with a guaranteed $2 million jackpot, FLORIDA LOTTO rolled over until May 31, 1988 when its first jackpot winner Josie Moore of Port Charlotte won $14 million. Moore was paid in 20 annual installments. On August 31, 1988 the Florida Lottery had emerged as an industry leader when the Lottery set a then industry record with an estimated $52 million FLORIDA LOTTO jackpot. 1988 was a good year for Florida Lottery FLORIDA LOTTO jackpot winners. On September 3, 1988 Sheelah Ryan, of Winter Springs, won a $55.6 million FLORIDA LOTTO jackpot, the largest Florida Lottery prize to be won by single winner at that time.


After a fast-paced inaugural year, the Florida Lottery continued to develop as it responded to its growing playership. On April 28, 1989 the Lottery launched its third On-Line game FANTASY 5®. Drawings were to be held twice a week on Tuesday and Fridays.


On January 8, 1991, the late Governor Lawton Chiles appointed Dr. Marcia Mann the Florida Lottery’s second permanent secretary. Later in the year on July 4, the Lottery celebrated Independence Day with the launch of if fourth On-line game PLAY 4 , with a top prize payout of $5,000.


Scratch-Off lottery games continued to offer players a myriad of themes with instant prizes and payouts. The Scratch-Off games achieved a milestone on September 27, 1993 with the sale of BINGO, the Florida Lottery’s first $2 ticket. The Lottery’s first $5 ticket, TWELVE WAYS TO CELEBRATE, went on sale in 1998, the first $10 ticket, CASH BONANZA, in 2002 and the first $20 ticket GOLD RUSH in 2004. Prize payouts for Scratch-Off games also increased to as much as $1 million, when such games as WIN FOR LIFE and $1,000,000 CASH SPECTACULAR premiered in 2003. The games delivered what had been promised…“more and bigger” prizes.


Under the leadership of Governor Jeb Bush three talented individuals have served as the secretary of the Lottery. On January 11, 1999 Governor Bush appointed Miami lawyer Sue Cobb to serve as interim secretary of the Lottery and on June 17, of the same year he appointed David Griffin to serve as the third permanent secretary of the agency. On March 5, 2003 Governor Bush appointed Rebecca Dirden Mattingly the Florida Lottery’s fourth permanent secretary. Under the leadership of Griffin and Mattingly the Lottery transferred more than $1 billion to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund in a single year. Griffin accomplished this feat during the 2002-03 fiscal year and Mattingly during the 2003-04 fiscal year. To date, the Florida Lottery has contributed more than $14 billion for public schools in Florida.


The last of the Lottery’s five On-line games, MEGA MONEY , launched February 2, 1998 on a trial basis and was later made a permanent addition to the On-line menu of games. As the Florida Lottery has continued to mature and develop, new and innovative convenience features have been added to meet the needs of players. Quick Pick, an option allowing a player to have their numbers randomly selected, became a value-added feature in April 1990 and in 1993 the Advanced Play option that allows players to purchase On-line games for future drawings was introduced. The games themselves have also evolved over the years. In 1994, FANTASY 5 drawings expanded to five nights a week and FLORIDA LOTTO went from once a week drawings to twice a week drawings in 1999, when its matrix changed from six out of 49 numbers to six out of 53, creating bigger jackpots more often.


Conversion to a new On-line gaming system began in August 2003 with GTECH Corporation winning the bid to install and operate the Florida Lottery’s gaming system. GTECH's winning bid was 1.14 percent of On-line sales, compared to 1.8 percent in the contract with Automated Wagering, the Lottery’s previous vendor. The new six-year contract could result in an $11 million annual savings for the state.


Exciting changes were made to the Florida Lottery’s MEGA MONEY game on January 30, 2004. The new game increased the starting jackpot to $500,000, climbing to $2 million. The changes in the MEGA MONEY matrix offered better odds for players who would now choose four out of 44 numbers on the first panel, and choose one out of 22 numbers for the MEGA BALL panel. A new rolldown feature increased all secondary prize levels, including the addition of two new prize levels, and players would now win a free Quick Pick ticket for matching just the MEGABALL. Along with giving players more opportunities to win, the Advance Play feature was increased to 30 draws for player convenience.


January 31, 2005, the Florida Lottery and GTECH Corporation launched the most successful gaming system conversion in lottery history. The GTECH Enterprise Series System provided nearly 12,000 retailers with a state-of-the-art On-line gaming system and provided Florida Lottery players with one of the most reliable and secure gaming systems in the world. The new On-line gaming system was composed of wireless data links to the Florida Lottery’s processing center and allowed for much faster transactions and less down time for each retailer. The new Altura terminals featured large touch-screens, help modes, and thermal printers. Other new features that the On-line gaming system provided were colorful and informative Bi-Lingual LED messaging for Lottery products. On that very same day of the historic conversion, the Florida Lottery introduce a new playstyle called GROUPER . With GROUPER players receive six tickets, CASH 3, PLAY 4, FANTASY 5, MEGA MONEY, FLORIDA LOTTO and one FREE FANTASY 5, MEGA MONEY or FLORIDA LOTTO ticket — all for $5. All tickets in GROUPER play are Quick Picks for the next available draw.


April 2005, the Florida Lottery surpassed the 12,000 mark in full-service retailers in operation throughout the state.


On November 21, 2005, Florida Lottery launched the "Cash for the Holidays" promotion. Players who purchased a FLORIDA LOTTO, MEGA MONEY or FANTASY 5® ticket of $5 or more had a chance to instantly win $1,000, $100, $50 or $25. The promotion combined On-line games with an instant bonus players won when they purchased tickets and heard the promotion theme music on the Florida Lottery terminals. An estimated total of 900,000 players were entered into a special New Year's Eve Drawing. One lucky player won $1 million and 10 players were selected to receive $1,000 each.


Currently, Florida Lottery players have numerous entertainment options, offering something for every player. At nearly 12, 000 retailers across Florida, players typically have between 30 and 50 Scratch-Off games of various themes to choose from at any given time. Players can also choose to play the Lottery’s five On-line games that offer players 25 drawings, and 25 chances to win, each week.


Since creation the Florida Lottery has provided great dividends to the residents of Florida and promises to continue to do so into the future. The Lottery has given residents a reason to believe their dreams will come true. Whether they are one of thousands of people who have collected lottery prizes or one of the thousands who Lottery dollars help to follow their dreams by getting a better education, all Floridians residents enjoy and benefit from the Florida Lottery.

History of Lotto in Rhode Island

History of Lotto in Rhode Island

Did you know?

Rhode Island was one of the founding members of the Multi-State Lottery Association which established the Lotto America game in 1987. This multi-state game became Powerball in 1992.

Rhode Island is one of twenty-nine states to offer Powerball®. As part of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), these member states offer the game that consistently reaches jackpots worth multi-million dollars.

PowerBall has become one of the most popular Lottery games due to its extremely high jackpot payouts. As of February 2006, the highest jackpot amount was $365 million, won on February 18, 2006.

With a starting jackpot of $15 million, if no winner is drawn, the jackpot continues to increase by no less than $5 million for each drawing until someone wins.

Powerball lotto winner in Providence, Rhode Island

January 24, 2008 $200,000 Providence,Rhode Island PowerBall lotto ticket turned in.


Luis Gordillo of Providence, RI claimed the $200,000 winning ticket sold in Rhode Island for last night’s PowerBall® drawing.
Luis seldom plays the Lottery, but purchased the ticket when he stopped by the Jefferson Global at 15 Jefferson Blvd., Warwick, on the way to pick up a friend whose car had broken down earlier that day.
That ticket matched the first five numbers, but not the PowerBall number. The standard payout for this type of win is $200,000. However, if Luis had opted to purchase the Power Play® feature for an additional dollar on the wager, his $200,000 prize would have been multiplied by four, Wednesday’s Power Play number, to equal $800,000.

Carroll County, Maryland Man Wins $250,000 Mega Millions Lotto Prize

01/27/08 Carroll County, MD Man Wins $250,000 Mega Millions Prize
Winning Ticket Sold in Glen Burnie




Baltimore, MD On Tuesday, William Bill Hume’s co-worker told him that a $250,000 second-tier Mega Millions winning ticket was purchased at the MVA building where he works. Bill, an IT Senior Analyst, proceeded on with his day at work and went to a meeting. He tried unsuccessfully throughout the day to find the winning numbers but it wasn’t until Bill went home that he found out he was the big winner.
Bill immediately printed a copy of the winning numbers and shared the news with his wife, Karen. Once I told my wife I won, we were both really excited, said Bill. Knowing I usually lose things, I gave the ticket to her. Karen hid the ticket in the stove until they brought it to Lottery headquarters today.

ATLANTA,GA A Delta flight attendant can fly the friendly skies as a new millionaire. Kristen Diloreto of Cumming won $1 million playing the
Georgia Lottery instant game Georgia's $500 Million Club.
The 40-year-old mother of three purchased the winning ticket
at Publix Super Market #0049, 3480 Keith Bridge Road in Cumming,
while grocery shopping. She scratched it in the car.

"I was thrilled," she said. "I took the ticket back to the store
manager, and we both looked at each other in disbelief."

Diloreto and her husband, Steve, will consider whether to take a
family vacation; otherwise, they have no immediate plans for their winnings.

"I can't believe it's real," she exclaimed. "I feel like I'm an
actress in a Georgia Lottery commercial."
