One Michigan lottery ticket wins $842.4 million Powerball jackpotReply
I've no doubt something screwy has been going on since they both raised the starting jackpot and raised the price the few and many years ago of course, proving it is an all together different animal in a sense if memory serves me correctly, thars been at least least 2 matrix changes and a couple of dollar a piece tack ons such as the multiplier and the double play

Powerball Powerplay 10XReply
Compared to Mega Millions, Powerball is stingy with the multiplier. If you want to maximize your lotto losses during your lifetime, then increase your ticket cost with the powerplay. Buying the same play for the same draw multiple times is an even better way to maximize your lotto losses.

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
I never get drawn into the hype regardless of the amount on offer I always buy one PB with power play and one MM with the multiplier. I will try the after taxes amount and add an extra ticket for every 100M under the cash option and not annuity. Best of luck too in tonight MM if you have a ticket for that

This is from the Idaho Lottery website, wow! must be their way of generating lottery revenue. Each ticket is automatically 3 dollars. wow. so instead of 5 tickets being 10 bucks, its 15 dollars. Each play costs $3. Pick five numbers between 1 and 69. Pick one Powerball number between 1 and 26. If you'd like random numbers, ask for a quick pick.

Where to view megaplier/power play for the next draw ?Reply
Watch the PB drawing . And a MM drawing. The multiplier was drawn before drawing 5 + 1. Can't find if the megaplier is drawn at a different location but until I see something different, I'll believed RCB.

thoughts on lottery syndicatesReply
So for each draw we could potentially buy 41 tickets . . The MM odds of winning something are 1:24 and the two most likely prizes pay a max win of $20 are matching 1+1 and/or $10 matching 0+1. You'll probably need multiple wins or a $10 win with a 5 multiplier just to break even. The odds of matching 3+`1 are 1:14,547 to win $200 or possibly $1000, but you'll have to split that with nine other players. For the same $1000 you could get twice as many chances of winning the jackpot, but jac

First $25 million scratch-off lottery prize claimed in MassachusettsReply
It seems extremely high... maybe they are using the annuity value of the top prize(s) in their calculations rather than the cash value. . . Nope.. I got 83.7% using face values ($1,265,560,000) and 81.38% when using a .65 multiplier for cash from annuity ($1,230,560) (7,375,193 prizes from up to 30,240,000 tickets available.. max revenue $50 x 30,240,000 = $1,512,000,000)
