New York Lottery Numbers Game Sets Record

New York Lottery Numbers Game Sets Record
Pays More Than $8.3 Million to Twenty-Five Thousand Players in One Day

Schenectady, NY New York Lottery Daily Numbers players had a major pay day last week winning more than $8.3 million playing the 4-4-4 and 1-2-3 number combinations on the Thursday, June 15th midday and evening drawings.


The amazing $8.3 million payout is a new record for the New York Lottery Daily Numbers game,” said New York Lottery Director Nancy A. Palumbo. “The popular number combinations of 4-4-4 and 1-2-3 were drawn during Numbers Bonus Week which means not only did New Yorkers win big, but they also took home a 600 to 1 payout. That represents an increase in prizes of over 20 percent.”
During the midday drawing last Thursday, 9,524 players who picked the 4-4-4 combination won $4,688,940 when their numbers came in. In the evening, 16,236 winners who played the numbers 1-2-3 walked away with $3,695,200. Number selections are usually capped when they reach a $5 million payout liability, but neither of these popular number combinations had been sold out for the day.
The $8.3 million payday last week beat the record set on August 26, 2002 when the midday 6-6-6 combination was drawn paying out $1.18 million and the evening 2-2-2 winning numbers paid out nearly $5 million, setting the former daily prize payout record at $6.18 million.
The Daily Numbers game was introduced to New Yorkers on September 8, 1980. During fiscal year 2005-2006, sales on the Daily Numbers game reached $827 million, generating $333 million for education. Since it was launched in 1980, the Daily Numbers game has generated more than $5.25 billion for primary and secondary education on sales of over $15 billion.
The New York Lottery the largest lottery in the country and the sixth largest in the world, has generated more than $29 billion in revenue to help support education in New York State, including a record $2.2 billion in fiscal year 2005-2006 on revenues of $6.8 billion.

Winning $208 million lottery ticket sold in FdL, Wisconsin

Winning $208 million lottery ticket sold in FdL

By Peggy Breister
The Reporter
pbreister@fdlreporter.com

The Miracle Mile is back. And in a big way.

A $208 million Powerball ticket sold at Ma & Pa’s
Grocery Express, 506 S. Main St., is the single
winner in Saturday’s drawing, according to the
Wisconsin State Lottery.

It is the largest jackpot ever won in Wisconsin.

Winner numbers drawn Saturday are 2, 3, 9, 48
and 50, and the Powerball is 23.

The last Powerball jackpot in Wisconsin was won
Jan. 8, 2005, by a Thiensville man. The previous
largest jackpot in Wisconsin was the $195 million
Powerball jackpot won by an Illinois couple on
May 20, 1998.

It is the first time in a few years someone has
hit it big on what has become known as
Fond du Lac’s Miracle Mile. In the 1990s,
several people won multi-million dollar jackpots
with tickets purchased at lottery outlets on South
Main Street. Several of those businesses have since closed.

The last multi-million dollar winner at Ma & Pa’s
was in 1994 when a Mercury Marine employee hit
the Megabucks jackpot of $6.5 million. Since
then the store has sold tickets with winnings of $500,000, a couple $250,000, a couple $100,000, and Phil
and a co-worker split a $138,000 jackpot.

Ma & Pa’s co-owner Phil Moses and his sister, Gena Singleton, got a call from their newspaper delivery person
that someone from Channel 4 television in Milwaukee
was at the store shortly before 5 a.m. today.

I thought, oh no, someone broke in or something,
Moses said this morning.

A total of 952,566 players across the nation won more than $13.6 million in prizes in America’s Game.


Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Wednesday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $204 million.


The cash option for the Saturday, August 5th drawing will be an estimated $92.7 million.


The numbers drawn Wednesday evening were 10, 13, 16, 19, 24 and the Powerball was 15. The Power Play multiplier was 4.


Seventeen tickets correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000. These winning tickets were purchased in Colorado (2), DC (1), Delaware (1), Iowa (1), Indiana (2), Minnesota (1), Missouri Powerball (2), North Carolina Powerball(1), New Mexico (1), Pennsylvania Powerball (1), Vermont Powerball (1), Wisconsin (2), and West Virginia (1). The three lucky tickets in DC (1), Iowa (1), and North Carolina (1), not only matched the 5 white numbers, but also purchased the Power Play option multiplying the $200,000 prize by 4 for a total win of $800,000!


Sixty-nine tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000 each. Thirteen additional winners of that prize category also purchased the Power Play option, giving them a total win of $40,000 each.


More than 150,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 4 Wednesday. They were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you multiply your Powerball winnings 2-5 times, except for the jackpot. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night’s multiplier.


Players should carefully check their tickets after every draw. Even if there are no jackpot winners there are always tens of thousands of winners at other prize levels.


Players purchased more than $40.2 million worth of tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night. The lotteries sold $2.8 billion in Powerball tickets in FY06. That translates into more than $800 million for worthwhile state projects.


Powerball is now played in 29 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. For more information on Powerball, visit our website at www.powerball.com

luggenda lotto shoes


Lotto Sport Italia was established in 1973 by the Caberlotto family in Montebelluna, northern Italy, the world centre of footwear manufacturing.


During its first decade, corporate strategy concentrated on making tennis footwear and clothing, and early on sponsored big names from the professional tennis circuit (Martina Navratilova, Boris Becker, Thomas Muster, Andrea Gaudenzi) - a strategy that brought the early victories at Wimbledon, the US Open and Roland Garros. In the 80s Lotto moved on to broaden its business base by competing among the then small group of manufacturers of football boots and clothing.


The first models of studded boots were thus created and the first sponsorship agreements signed with important players (including Dino Zoff, Ruud Gullit, Zvonimir Boban, Clarence Seedorf, Cafu, Andriy Shevchenko) and clubs (such as Milan, the Netherlands national squad, Napoli, Juventus, ChievoVerona, and Real Zaragoza).


Lotto's products are famous worldwide for their quality, style and technology content - these being the key characteristics that have brought them renown in the worlds of professional and amateur sport alike.



Winning characteristics which feature in all of Lotto's products, and which have led the company to become a world-leading manufacturer of boots, footwear and clothing for football, five-a-side football and tennis.



Starting from the late 80s Lotto also created a "leisurewear" collection of men's, women's and children's footwear and clothing that delivered just what even the most demanding consumers wanted in terms of leisure-time style.

7/23/2006

Thirty-six tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000.
Five additional winners of that prize category also purchased the Power Play option, giving them a total win of $40,000.

More than 118,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 4 Saturday. They were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you multiply your Powerball winnings 2-5 times, except for the jackpot. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night’s multiplier.

    9 Delphi coworkers win Hoosier Lotto jackpot on their factory pool’s final drawing!

    Hoosier Lotto Pool at Anderson Delphi Plant Saves Best for Last – Wins $9 million Jackpot

    Nine Delphi coworkers win Hoosier Lotto jackpot on their factory pool’s final drawing!!



    INDIANAPOLIS – Some may call it fate, irony or destiny, but the nine Delphi coworkers who split a $9 million Hoosier Lotto jackpot simply call it great timing. The nine men, eight of whom were faced with the decision of retiring or transferring by June 30, 2006 after Delphi announced plans to close its Anderson plant, were part of a factory pool that faithfully played Hoosier Lotto dating back to its inaugural drawing (then known as Lotto Cash) on May 5, 1990. Around that date, Dick Quinn purchased the group’s first tickets and on July 1, 2006 he would purchase the group’s last tickets, one of which would turn out to be the windfall they had waited for all these years.



    “After 16 years we were going to have to stop playing because everybody here was being forced to either transfer or retire – so this really was our last chance,” said Quinn. “We had matched 5 of 6 once and 4 of 6 quite a few times, but this is just unbelievable.



    Quinn had managed the pool over the past 16 years, buying $50 worth of tickets per week plus as many extra tickets he could purchase with the group’s winnings from the previous week. It would be one of these extra purchases that matched all six numbers for the July 1 Hoosier Lotto drawing. The men claimed their prize this afternoon at Hoosier Lottery Headquarters in Indianapolis, opting to take the cash option worth $3.7 million. Each winner received an equal share of $370,000 before taxes, except Quinn who received $740,000. Quinn had been paying an extra share each week for the last six months after another coworker opted out of the pool.



    “Dick has been taking our money for years and never gave a cent of it back until this,” said coworker Nicholas Gray, who joked that many of his fellow pool members started to wonder if Dick was secretly keeping the money.



    The group’s windfall made everyone’s ultimatum of retiring or transferring a little easier. Only one man, Ralph Flesher, who at 50 years old is the youngest in the group, chose to transfer and will continue working beyond January 1 of next year. Seven others have either retired or will retire when Anderson’s Delphi plant ceases operations at the end of the year. One group member, Jeff Fisher, who stayed in the pool after leaving Delphi several years ago, recently retired from General Motors in Indianapolis.



    “You see folks on TV all the time winning these sort of prizes and you wonder what kind of people they are,” said coworker Richard Howard. “I can assure everyone that these are all a bunch of good guys who work hard and are wonderful people.”

    POWERBALL rows over $62 million for Saturday

    POWERBALL GROWS TO $62 MILLION! 7/6/2006
    (Powerball) The Powerball jackpot continues to grow. Even though the grand prize was not hit Wednesday evening, 398,732 players across the nation won a total of more than $2.9 million in prizes in America’s favorite Game.

    Because no one correctly matched all six numbers the jackpot will grow to an estimated $62 million for Saturday night’s drawing.

    The cash option for the Saturday, July 8th drawing will be an estimated $27.7 million.

    The numbers drawn Wednesday were 26, 39, 41, 52, 53 and the Powerball was 20. The Power Play multiplier was 2.

    Three lucky tickets in Indiana (1), Pennsylvania (1), and Wisconsin (1) correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000.

    Thirteen tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000.
    Six additional winners of that prize category also had the Power Play option that multiplied the win 2 times for a total of $20,000!

    More than 78,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 2 Wednesday. They were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you multiply any winnings from 2-5 times, except for the jackpot. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night’s multiplier.

    Players should carefully check their tickets after every draw. Even if there are no jackpot winners there are always tens of thousands of winners at other prize levels.

    Players purchased more than $18 million in tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night.

    The lotteries sold over $2.8 billion in Powerball tickets in fiscal year 2006. That translates into approximately $800 million for worthwhile state projects.

    Powerball is now played in 29 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. For more information on Powerball, visit our website at www.powerball.com

    Georgia Lottery Sales Surpass $3 Billion
    Date: June 16, 2006



    ATLANTA – With two weeks remaining in the fiscal year, the Georgia Lottery Corporation (GLC) today announced its annual sales have surpassed $3 BILLION for the first time in GLC history.
    "Crossing the $3 billion mark in sales is a significant milestone for the Georgia Lottery and the citizens of Georgia, who benefit from every dollar we raise," said GLC President and CEO Margaret DeFrancisco. "As we approach the end of the fiscal year on such a strong note, we remain committed to our mission of maximizing dollars for the HOPE Scholarship and Prekindergarten Programs."

    The Georgia Lottery's fiscal year 2006 spans from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006. GLC sales for fiscal year 2005 reached a then-record $2.92 billion.

    Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corporation has returned over $8.2 billion to the state of Georgia for education. All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs including Georgia's HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia's Prekindergarten Program. More than 900,000 students have received HOPE Scholarships, and more than 700,000 4-year-olds have attended the statewide, voluntary prekindergarten program.

    Powerball lotto MUSL MEMO
    GENERAL PRESS INFORMATION

    The Multi-State Lottery Association is a government-benefit, non-profit association entirely
    owned and operated by the member lotteries. The association has a twelve member staff that
    operates at the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board is comprised of the lottery
    directors for each of the member lotteries. The current membership of 31 lotteries includes:
    the
    Arizona Lottery, Colorado Lottery, Connecticut Lottery Corporation, Washington D.C. Lottery &
    Charitable Games, Delaware State Lottery, Idaho Lottery, Indiana (Hoosier) Lottery, Iowa
    Lottery, Kansas Lottery, Kentucky Lottery Corporation, Louisiana lottery Corporation, Maine
    State Lottery, Minnesota State Lottery, Missouri Lottery, Montana Lottery, Nebraska Lottery,
    New Hampshire Lottery Commission, New Mexico Lottery Authority, North Carolina Education
    Lottery, North Dakota Lottery, Oklahoma Lottery, Oregon Lottery, Pennsylvania Lottery, Rhode
    Island Lottery, South Carolina Education Lottery, South Dakota Lottery, Tennessee Education
    Lottery Corporation, US Virgin Islands Lottery, Vermont Lottery, West Virginia Lottery, and the
    Wisconsin Lottery.

    The association currently offers four lottery games: POWERBALL is sold through thirty
    member lotteries; Hot Lotto is currently sold through nine members; Wild Card2 is sold
    through four jurisdictions; and the newest MUSL game, 2by2 , is sold in three member
    jurisdictions. Oklahoma began sales of Powerball on January 12, 2006. The newest MUSL
    member, the North Carolina Education Lottery, will begin sales of Powerball in the spring of
    2006.
    All profits from the games are kept by the state that sells the ticket. The members share the cost
    of operating the association based on their percentage of total sales. The association conducts
    drawings, performs central game administration (including game development and research), and
    manages central accounting and the purchase of government securities to fund annuitized prizes.
    On September 16, 1987, the lottery directors of the District of Columbia, Iowa, Kansas, Oregon,
    Rhode Island, and West Virginia formed the Multi-State Lottery Association. The Missouri
    Lottery joined the association later that month. The original seven members offered a joint lotto
    game call LOTTO*AMERICA 7/40® which began sales on February 13, 1988.
    LOTTOAMERICA was replaced on April 19, 1992 by the now world famous POWERBALL .
    The POWERBALL game was designed following research to meet the wishes of the players.
    Players in all jurisdictions said virtually the same thing: Give me a chance at a big jackpot, but I
    also want to win a significant smaller prize while I’m waiting to win the big one.” The size of a
    significant smaller prize varied by player, but the POWERBALL game offers enough cash
    prize levels ($3 to $200,000) to meet everyone’s wishes. The game has seen continued growth,
    especially at the beginning jackpot levels. It is clear that the large jackpots attract the player’s
    attention but the large number of winning experiences are what keeps the players coming back to
    the game.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
    There are 30 member lotteries currently selling the POWERBALL game to a population of
    96.2 million with tickets being sold through over 58,000 terminals. The drawing show is
    uplinked live to over 89 television stations every Wednesday and Saturday night at 10:59 p.m.
    Eastern Time.
    MUSL’s first game was LOTTO*AMERICA 7/40® which started sales on Wednesday,
    February 3, 1988. The first draw was on Saturday, February 13, 1988. This game had a weekly
    drawing on Saturday night. MUSL’s second game was LOTTO*AMERICA 6/54® with sales
    starting on February 5, 1989. The first drawing was February 8, 1989. The original
    POWERBALL game began sales on April 19, 1992. The first POWERBALL drawing was
    on April 22, 1992.
    After more than five years as America’s premier jackpot game, POWERBALL was updated
    beginning with the drawing of November 5, 1997. In order to generate larger average jackpots,
    the game changed from a 5 of 45 white ball plus 1 of 45 red ball game to a 5 of 49 plus 1 of 42
    Page 6
    format. Low-tier prize levels were increased, the guaranteed starting jackpot was raised to $10
    million, and players were offered the option of taking the jackpot as a lump sum cash payment.
    In March 2001, a major product enhancement was designed for the POWERBALL product.
    This Power Play feature allows a player to multiply their winnings of all set prizes (all prizes
    except the jackpot prize) by a number randomly drawn in a wheel spin just before the
    POWERBALL drawing. Power Play players who win any of the set prizes are guaranteed to
    multiply their winnings by at least two. The Power Play wheel has 4 slots each of the numbers
    2 thru 5 for a total of sixteen slots.
    As the population base playing POWERBALL continued to increase with Pennsylvania
    joining the association in June 2002 (12,281,054 pop.); South Carolina in October 2002
    (4,012,012 pop.); and the US Virgin Islands lottery in November 2002 (108,612) the matrix was
    again changed on October 6, 2002 by adding 4 additional balls to the white ball set. No
    additional balls were added to the red balls with the resulting matrix becoming 5/53 + 1/42.
    The continued success of the POWERBALL brand prompted four more states to join the
    game: Vermont (7/1/03), North Dakota (3/25/04), Tennessee (4/19/04), and Maine (7/30/04).
    With 29 members and a total population of 91,921,242 the matrix was again changed to insure
    game performance starting with the drawing of August 31, 2005. Additional enhancements to
    the game included: minimum jackpots starting at $15 million; the secondary prize raised to
    $200,000; and the third prize increased to $10,000.
    While no additional balls were added to the red Powerball set, two additional numbers were
    added to the white balls resulting in a matrix of 5/55 + 1/42 as shown below.

    South Carolina Poweerball Group Claims $1 Million Power Play Prize!

    South Carolina Powerball lottery Group Claims $1 Million Power Play Prize!
    “Pay me the MONEY!” is what the group of Upstate dispatchers chanted at the South Carolina Education Lottery’s (SCEL) Columbia Claims Center late Thursday, June 8. Four of the 10-member group drove down from the Upstate to claim their share of the $1 million match five Power Play win in the Wednesday, June 7, Powerball drawing. The group of ten pitches-in a few dollars on occasion to vie for the big jackpot. “Everybody picks their own numbers except for one person,” said Thomas Whitt, of Spartanburg. “She does the quick pick.”
    The white numbers for that Powerball drawing were: 4, 10, 20, 26, and 40. The Powerball ® was 8 and the PowerPlay® number was 5. To win the match 5 cash prize of $200,000, a player must match all five white balls. The group paid the extra dollar for the PowerPlay® option, which multiplies any non-jackpot prize by the number selected from 2-5 . Because the PowerPlay ® number drawn was 5, their $200,000 prize became $1 million.
    Out of all of the numbers the group selected, Whitt’s numbers won. “I just use the interstate numbers,” he said. “I guess all my life anytime I needed to pick numbers, I would use the interstate numbers. And it seems like they do come up a lot.”
    The four group members stated they will use their winnings to pay off some bills.

    Powerball rolls over to $100 million for Sat lotto game

    POWERBALL JACKPOT LEAPS TO $100 MILLION;

    (Powerball) Even though the grand prize was not hit Wednesday evening, Powerball paid off BIG in multiple ways. There were three tickets that won $600,000 with the Power Play option in North Carolina Powerball (1), North Dakota (1), and South Carolina (1)! In addition, two other lucky tickets won $200,000 for matching 5 white ball numbers in the states of North Carolina Powerball(1), and Nebraska Powerball (1).

    The jackpot for the Saturday, June 17th drawing will be $100 million with the cash option at $45.6 million.

    The numbers drawn Wednesday evening were 4, 14, 15, 40, 48, and the Powerball was 12. The Power Play multiplier was 3.

    Twenty-four tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Five additional players of that prize level wisely purchased the Power Play and had their prize multiplied by 3 for a $30,000 cash win! A total of 538,248 players across the nation won more than $5.8 million in prizes playing America’s favorite game.

    More than 97,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 3 Wednesday. They were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for $1. With Power Play you multiply your Powerball winnings from 2-5 times, except for the jackpot. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night’s multiplier.

    Players should carefully check their tickets after every draw. Even if there are no jackpot winners there are always tens of thousands of winners at other prize levels.

    Players purchased more than $22.6 million in Powerball tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night.

    The lotteries have sold approximately $2.6 billion in Powerball tickets so far in fiscal year 2006. That translates into approximately $750 million for worthwhile state projects.

    Powerball is now played in 29 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
