$975 MILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againReply
Just increased 40 million, Power Ball is coward and sucks!! That's almost half of the actual increase from Wednesday to Saturday. I wouldn't start at anything higher than that for a Monday drawing if I was in charge, because the jump is almost always smaller than the previous Wednesday to Saturday jump. When it's all done the cash jackpot is always the result of actual sales and the annuity is always the amount the cash can earn based on the current interest rates. Won't go out on a lim

New UK National Lottery operator Allwyn will implement online spending limitReply
restrict the value of one customer's purchase to 50. It's obviously easier to limit the amount of online deposits and sales, but relying of stores to do it is another thing. That's about $62.50 U.S. and that means they can only buy two $30 scratchers daily. IF they want a third ticket, they could go to another stores, clerks could look the other way, or the could buy tickets from a Kiosk. Pretty sure forcing store clerks to monitor their customers' play will have the same benefits as fo

$1.25 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot set to deliver unimaginable wealthReply
I totally get your argument on the numbers piece of it. There are more people buying or more sales and therefore the likelihood of a winner coming from there is significantly high. On the contrary - all tickets purchased - individually have the same odds of winning and this give me comfort. On the randomness of the terminal machines, I am not a subject matter expert, but I have had my share of repeating numbers on the same ticket. Like maybe buying five lines and having three lines with

$1.05 BILLION: Mega Millions keeps rolling after no winner FridayReply
Cash value is 50%. I remember the good ole days of 60-70% cash value. The cash value is always the amount of sales revenue that goes towards the jackpot. If interest rates were lower the cash would be exactly what it is now, but instead of an annuity worth 1.1 billion they'd be advertising an annuity of $785 to 916 million. Which probably mans they'd be selling fewer tickets, so the cash would be less and the advertised annuity would be perhaps $700 to 850 million. I wouldn't mind shari

Thanks Todd for the link........ While we are very fortunate on the lottery-no-income tax thing....
