Friday $73 Million for Mega MillionsReply
The powerball jackpot looks bigger than the MegaMillions sometimes only because of the 30 year Powerball annuity vs the 26 year annuity.Generally the cash values track one another pretty well.Few people actually choose the annuity, nor should they. The annuity value's just advertising.

Mega Millions and Powerball SynchronizedReply
Using a thirty year annuity may add the benefit of advertising larger jackpots and creating more hype. Don't know if has been commented on, but hype is what really generates the sales.

I have developed a method to play Jackpot Games.Reply
Todd, I didn't realize I was breaking a rule, as I didn't see it as advertising as no website name was mentioned. I was merely trying to gather half a dozen or so posters from within this thread to go to a place where we could discuss this topic without the bs. Your house, your rules, no problem.

MegaMillions Change & Calif
I resent that I have to wait until 11/1 to see what the changes will be. Sure, the price doubles, the JP starts at $40 million, and the odds are crap, but beyond that, no one is saying. What happened to truth in advertising?

Virginia's New Year Millionaire RaffleReply
Cheryl: Are you connected to this game in some sort of an official lottery or advertising capacity? It seems like one long ad especially since you are responding to your own posts. Actually, the sales seem quite sluggish.

Ohio Classic Lotto (6/49) at $16.6M/$8.3M cashReply
Ditto! It's a week later and the jackpot is now $19.4M/$9.7M. Ohio is advertising OCL as having the best odds for winning a big jackpot. I haven't checked the other jackpots around the country so I'm taking their words for it and playing again tonight.

Workplace Lottery Pool Contract...Reply
Thanks for your suggestions. What I have done currently is to send emails to everyone advertising the pool and there is a 11x14 envelope in my office that everyone can access and they are to put money in and sign their name to the envelope and the amount put in, even though it's only $2. Then before the drawings I go purchase the tickets, scan them in and email them to the participants. I'm not chasing anyone down (yet) for money to be in the pool. My other concern is with a contract that I am g

Top 10 "Reasons" why the Powerball Lottery is a scam...!Reply
The game isn't a scam it just has astronomically huge odds. Very few people will ever win a first prize or a second prize, heck even a third prize in Powerball or Mega Millions. The Powerball alone has over 195 Million different line choices. It is a game that is hard to beat. That's just the way it is. The government doesn't have to cheat because the odds are in their favor. People like to play these games, because of the huge jackpots, so in turn more money gets put into them. Plus, a lot of m

$200M+ jackpot for Christmas day?Reply
Considering historical increases my first thought was that 200 is a bit optimistic, but I wouldn't be surprised if it went as high as 220 or 225. Recent increases are a bit bigger than in the past, partly because the advertised annuity is running almost 60% over the cash value. Factor in the economy driving an increase in sales and a bit of a rush since the drawing is on Christmas, and advertising it at 200 or more could mean a very sizable jump. Personally, I'd prefer to wait a bit and welco
