$667 MILLION: Biggest Mega Millions jackpot everReply
Why do you think the lottery is rigged. I feel it comes down to probability. Each state has a bank with all the possible ticket combinations. Which means in Cali each ticket has a 1 in 302,000,000 chance at hitting the jackpot. Lets follow this link snip /mm03sales.htm to look at California sells. As you can see California had just over $18 million in sales (no mega plier offered in CA) which means that 9 million tickets were bought. Each ticket has a 1 in 300,000,000 chance at winning the jackp

Wild CardReply
I just noticed that Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota sell the Wild Card game. Did someone drop out? I thought there used to be another state or two. Maybe I'm thinking about a different game?

Monopoly Millionaires gameReply
The playmmc website shows the winners for all states, but I believe that some obfuscate names due to their own privacy laws. They are still waiting for Pennsylvania and South Dakota results.

Hot Lotto is struggling. So will Mega Millions after October 22.Reply
Hot Lotto is played in District of Columbia, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, or West Virginia. I would say that these 15 states and Washington DC provide a sizable population. If indeed there is a drop in sales after the change in matrix as I am suggesting in this thread, then I can only attribute it to player dissatisfaction

PB California - Did they do the math right?Reply
nice chart. Can you please put up the numbers for Delaware, Florida, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Washington? None of those states tax lottery winnings just like California but unlike California, any 5 + 0 winner in those states is guaranteed a million dollars.

$310 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot in rare territoryReply
One of these states will win the powerball..idaho, washington state, iowa, west virginia, south dakota, north dakota, maine, new hampshire, maine, oregon, nebraska, wyoming, vermont. 300 million is a lot of money to fall into the hands of the wrong demographic. If it doesn't hit in one of those states..it will hit in a store that caters to certain demographics.

New State Lotteries - Who's Next?Reply
Some mountain states did this with the Wild Card 2. It's played in Idaho, Montana, and North and South Dakota. I actually thought Wyoming had it too, I was surprised that WY doesn't have a lottery. I bet they have a lot of people crossing the border to play in other states. Wonder why they don't want to keep that money for themselves?

Winning Mega Millions lottery ticket worth $319M sold in NYReply
So if groups always win the huge ones, what about the lady in Idaho and the guy in Washington that won not too long ago. Then there's the rancher in South Dakota (maybe North Dakota, can't remember which). There's the guy in Missouri that won a big jackpot that was caught on a news camera while the lottery official paid a visit to the store. I remember the Wiccan guy out east that won a nice jackpot also. Just a few examples.
