Ever since the MegaMillions changed the cost of a ticket to $5, I have not played even though they said they increased the odds of winning something. Don't get me wrong. I love playing the lottery and don't consider it to be a...

The $740 million MegaMillions drawing is tonight, and whenever the jackpots start getting closer to $1 billion, I always find it fun to break down the win a bit and share what I might do if I were lucky enough to win.
It's fun to...

It is always fun when we travel across several states and either the MegaMillions or Powerball happen to be going strong and we can buy tickets in multiple states. Not that it ever makes any difference buying tickets like that. I...

It's a law that I strongly support. That is, the option of remaining anonymous if someone wins a major lottery jackpot. I understand the lotteries want to have some level of transparency in showing there are actually real people...

All three of the major lotteries I generally play were won virtually at the same time. Somebody won the Powerball, the MegaMillions, and the Illinois lottery this week.
