Kentucky Lottery reports highest monthly sales in state historyNews Story
The near-world record Mega Millions jackpot run in tandem with a Powerball jackpot run that rose to more than $680 million led to the most successful sales month in the nearly 30-year history of the Kentucky Lottery. Overall sales for the month were $115.5 million, which is $33.2 million (or 40.3%) more than budgeted. This shatters the previous record sales month from January 2016, when a world-record Powerball jackpot of $1.6 billion led to sales of $105.1 million. This in turn led to $34

Billlion-dollar Jackpot for PBReply
Ticket sales since the big jackpot was hit have slowed down quite a bit since then. The annuity JP was at 334 million and for that drawing there was 108 million in sales for that drawing. It rolled and the advertised JP started out at 400 million but went to 528 million with ticket sales of 352 million for the drawing. The next drawing started out with a advertised 675 JP but went to 947 million with ticket sales of 880 million. Since then here a few examples of how ticket sales are nowhere near

Kentucky Lottery tries to stave off losses from competitionNews Story
With record-smashing sales for two straight years, these should be heady times for the Kentucky Lottery.Even as lottery officials announced Thursday that a record $193.5 million in proceeds were turned over to the state last fiscal year, there was no time for celebration. Officials are too busy trying to stave off expected losses to Tennessee and its lottery that debuted this year.For years, the Kentucky Lottery reaped a windfall from Tennesseans who crossed the border to play the numbers games,

I say, `Don't worry, you come in, I'll tell you what day they come out,' said Lu, 47, who has run the HLD Food Mart on Koenig Lane for 18 years.Lu hasn't sold a winning lottery ticket, but it hasn't discouraged people from making his store the No. 1 retailer for Texas Lotto and scratch-off ticket sales in Austin.

Was that the official concession speech from Mega Millions?Reply
I really can't, it's just too hard to go by individual intervals of the JP. Who knows what was happening then: PB JP values, Friday versus Tues,(Friday inc is higher) holiday, terrorist attack, etc. The JP is a derivative value from the main value I'm looking at: Sales. My other graphs were a big picture detailed look at one run imposed over another, showing the sales increase through the run as time goes by on new matrix, compared to the preceding run. I have another big big picture view

Michigan lottery players are the big winnersNews Story
Where did the all the Michigan lottery money go? That age-old question is being asked with a little greater frequency these days as local school districts grapple with mid-year state aid cuts of a minimum of $292 per student. Conspiracy theory has long held that lottery proceeds intended to solve all of Michigan's school funding problems have been for decades fiscally diverted by crafty lawmakers in other, non-school programs. Those suspicions might have had more of a basis of support b

$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseReply
The PB worksheet on the TX lottery website still shows the initial forecast for sales of about $197.5 million (and an annuity of 875) for Saturday's drawing, but that was based on increasing from 750 to 875 million. The actual increase to just under 830 million suggests sales were actually about $126 million. The sales forecast for Wednesday is listed as just under $98 million, so the actual increase was a hair over 28%. That would suggest that Monday's jackpot would increase by about $103 m
