    Imagine the state that caused the security issue that stopped the drawing, was the state that had the "winner".
    Nothing to see here folks!

    Nevada doesn't sell lottery tickets. Where I live, have to go to the California state line in Primm which is about 20 mile drive. There were 9000 people waiting in line, is what the news reported. Didn't buy any because of that.

    He's an old guy and won't live that long. Might be ok if he can leave the leftover payment to someone in his will.

    1.9 billion "winner" lump sum is 996 million and probably more than half that to taxes in cali so u are really netting maybe 25% of what you signed up to play... but then again still have 9 figures to your name so who gives a #### :biggrin_25523:

    Researched the area. You have to have 1.2 million to own a house in that area. Seems like the rich keep getting richer.
