Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winNews Story
New Jersey based group turned the odds to win in their favor By Kate Northrop Around this time one year ago, the Texas Lottery's Lotto Texas jackpot was bursting at the seams, boasting the game's third-largest prize ever at a mouthwatering $95 million. One New Jersey-based group gamed the odds to win the jackpot. Following a seven-month period without a winner, the Lotto Texas jackpot had ballooned to $95 million for the drawing on April 22, 2023, the game's largest in over 12 years.

$1.09 BILLION: Powerball jackpot is 4th-largest in game historyReply
Can we get 2-3 winners this tine Probability says no. It takes sales of $405 million just to have any number of winners be as likely as a rollover, and at that point the chances of a single winner are about 2.2 times as likely as multiple winners. The last time that happened was in the last two drawings for the PB record back in November 2022. It takes sales of a hair over $734 million for multiple winners to be just as likely as a single winner. That has happened twice, in the last two dra

$1.7 billion in combined jackpots, as USA multi-state lottery games peak togetherReply
If it is won tonight, it will be over $1billion once the final prize is determined. Strikes me as unlikely. The decision to post a revised cash value was made based on a 15% increase over the initial sales prediction. Reaching an even billion would have required an increase of 24% over the revision they made sometime on Friday when they had over 2 days of actual sales for predicting the final total. On the worksheet on the TX website the supported jackpot was reported as $982.35 million. MM

This might hurt ticket sales if players think a syndicate can swoop in and buy out a large jackpot.

$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

$975 MILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againNews Story
Easter sales dip might be holding it back By Todd Northrop The near-billion-dollar Powerball jackpot grew again last night, but perhaps not as much as it would have if this weren't Easter weekend. The latest increase of the current lengthy Powerball jackpot run comes after nobody won last night's drawing, sending the Monday jackpot ever closer to heights that once seemed unattainable for a lottery game. Monday's Powerball jackpot is currently estimated at $975 million, with a lu

$935 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
I feel this pot going to climb into the top 3 Maybe, but it needs to almost double, to about 1.815 billion to be in the real top 3, based on the current cash:annuity ratio. It will reach a billion by Saturday for sure. That would require actual sales to be almost twice as much as the original forecast. Call me crazy, but I think that seems just a tiny bit unlikely. Considering the odds are even higher for mega millions than they are for Powerball ... The very high odds for

I tried one on day one and lost so will be playing it sparingly lol. Funny how the new promotion for the ticket requires you to buy a florida lottery ticket as well for a entry.
