I wish it would get to Arkansas a little sooner I know what you mean, would be nice for Arkansas people to play right now without going over the border. Plus, when it comes to Arkansas, it looks like Powerball will be the only game available with a real lottery drawing. Sadly, Arkansas will begin life with an "F" on the State Lottery Report Card. | | |

All you need is a dollar and a dream. For instance, Someone might play for a $1,000 and another person play for $1, and the person who play for the dollar match all the numbers for the jackpot, and the other person win nada. | | |

I Just bought my mega tickets for tonight's drawing. Although my chances are very slim, I have a better chance than not buying at all. I have been day dreaming all day long what to do with the money. First pay all my debts off. | | |

I just saw that: Mega Millions has rolled to 170mil with a cash option of 106mil Powerball is 213mil with a cash option of 104mil There is a $43 million dollar difference between the two jp but only an $2 million dollar difference in the cash option... Can someone explain.....I am just curious as why there is a hugh difference in the jp but a small difference in the cash options... | | |

Powerball's annuity is spread over 30 years, Megamillions over 25, that's the main reason for the difference. MM requires more money in the cash option to push the annuity up. You can't predict random. | | |

All I know that winning the MM in my state (Ohio), and choosing this cash option nets you $68 million after taxes. | | |

Powerball states are going through a summer "fever". This Saturday is Powerball's spotlight, but Mega Millions will steal the limelight back next Tuesday. Who will take home to giant stimulus checks? Good luck everyone! | | |
