New UK National Lottery operator Allwyn will implement online spending limitReply
I suspect the restrictions on online sales are for the benefit of brick-and-mortar retailers, since it sounds like there are no limits on what players can buy in person.

$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseReply
I agree... and less discretionary income due to high inflation could be a reason why ticket sales aren't what they once were. Adding to the fact that inflation is high, and that extra large jackpots probably aren't seeming all that out of the ordinary to people might be why lottery officials overestimated ticket sales for the next jackpot.

$1.55 BILLION: Biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever to be drawn TuesdayReply
Maybe after sales calculation it will be number two. The TX MM worksheet is reporting the supported jackpot as $1,588,588,007. If they manage that it wil be the #2 annuity by a modest margin, but even if it gets past 1.6 the cash will miss the 3rd place position by about $80 million and the 2nd place position by almost $200 million.

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
I wouldn't call it an adjustment, but it's not at all rare for the cash:annuity ratio to remain the same from one drawing to the next. According to the worksheets on the TX website the last two runs have consistently kept the same ratio for 3 consecutive drawings before changing for the next 3 drawings. What's unusual is a change as big as this one. The annuity estimate was increased by $70 million, while the cash value only increased by $13.8 million. We've seen mistakes in some of the reported
