Matched one PB number out of 15, but no bonus numbers. I hope somebody won so I can quit making gratuitous bets because the jackpots are over the top.

Weird, none of my three tickets match at least one number or the bonus number. And the odds against that happening were only 76.5 million to 1.

Saw where 113,554,855 tickets were sold for Saturday's MM drawing and while it seems high, if every ticket had a unique combo, only 37% of all combos were sold. With this super high cash value, the question of how many tickets should be purchased to get a reasonable chance of winning a nice prize. The chances are different than fixed prize daily games because one $2 ticket gets multiple chances to win different prize levels.

It depends on how players define nice prize and to me it's more than I could win purchasing a $1 straight pick-3 or pick-4 number. Matching 4 numbers plus the bonus ball gets $10,000, but the odds against are 1 in 931,001 compared to a $2 pick-4 straight ticket that can win the $10K at 1 in 10,000 odds. Some might say without the megaplier option, the only nice prizes are the $1 million for matching all five numbers and of course the jackpot.

With overall odds 1 in 24, it cost $48 to guarantee winning something and that something will probably be $10 or under. Don't spend more than you can afford and don't expect to win, but be happy if you do.

That being said, good luck everybody!
