Kingofearth — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 17:26:35 GMT

When the MM jackpot a few drawings ago went up 9 million, the cash went up over 10 million so no it isn't the first time.

Comment #65

Albeone — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 17:20:14 GMT

I think this may be the first time where the cash value increased by a greater amount than the jackpot.

Jackpot- 449 to 454

Cash - 313.3 to 319.7

Someone in Texas did too.

Well, I called it when I said no one would win lol.

No one will win this next drawing either. However you can increase your chances of winning by a lot if you buy your tickets in New Jersey, or have someone from New Jersey buy your tickets. They won another 5+0 again.

It rolled over to 415 million which is only 25 a million increase. Compared to previous roll overs when the jackpot reached this range, that is pathetic.

Comment #57

Bleudog101 — Wed, 29 Jun 2016 10:58:41 GMT

...well at least the multiplier was only 2, so they won't kick themselves too hard for not putting down the extra dollar

Kingofearth — Wed, 29 Jun 2016 05:48:56 GMT

Yep. The Texas lottery is reporting that their 5+0 winner was a Quick Pick so it must suck to be the New Jersey winner given (s)he most likely self-picked them.

Of course not 32 and 35, but the other numbers. But rollover 32 is a fact.

I would be torn when I buy a Powerball ticket tomorrow morning. I wanna win something big, but I am perfectly happy with mid 6-figure prize. Maybe less attentions.

Kingofearth — Wed, 29 Jun 2016 05:13:25 GMT

No one won it. 35 and 55 are neither low nor a birthday number.

I would be happy with current California Fantasy 5. I just need the money to pay off the debts and go back to school for a 18-month training and job placement program. Around $650,000 before tax? I can live with that. If I can get a decent job in the industry after the training then the money is well spent.

It's gonna come down to a winner from a State close to water. No disrespect to the Great State of Nebraska, but huh? You can't even get a Rock Group to call themselves Nebraska. You have groups called Kansas, Boston ,Chicago etc etc...doubt you'll ever hear folks say We bought tickets to see Nebraska, they playing at--Stadium. Nope, winner is going to be close to water, just watch.

Illinoisdreamer — Wed, 29 Jun 2016 00:46:10 GMT

I have a feeling it will be won tonight ,, Sadly it wont be me

I am going to guess two winners. One from Georgia and one from Nebraska

Would gladly take a 1M match 5 prize of course ,, That 600K+ after taxes would be very useful to me and my family right now

Checked out their site as I periodically purchase season tickets for Megabucks Doubler. They really need to do a better job proofreading their material. They have the math all wrong in comparing how much you save with the discounted price vs the regular price. They're also calling the game Megabuck Double !

That being said I'll be taking advantage of the sale and getting myself another subscription. They're also drawing 10 $1,000 bonus prizes for people who start or renew a subscription duri... [ More ]

Bleudog101 — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 22:34:42 GMT

Reminds me of trying to get my subscription ticket in Hyannis, MA last July. Many of the stores did not know what I was talking about or how to ring up subscription tickets. I was tempted to report them to the Mass. lottery but what would be the point of that? I just wish I bought them in my hometown of Holliston and there would have been no language barrier. I did however go to a 7-11 and the clerk there rang them up no problem.

THE LOTTERY INDUSTRY WAS PROBABLY CREATED BY COMMUNISTS.

Communism is thus a form of socialism a higher and more advanced form, according to its advocates. Exactly how communism differs from socialism has long been a matter of debate, but the distinction rests largely on the communists' adherence to the revolutionary socialism of Karl Marx. Brittanica

That's not what Marx was about but you'd have to actually read his texts to know. I have a feeling you don't.

each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs sounds oddly merit-based (aka capitalist) for communism, no

THRIFTY — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 22:11:11 GMT

You can win the Mega Millions lottery game jackpot and help to spread communism all over the world. I have heard that religions cannot survive in a communist country. The world biggest religions fear communism.

noun

a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.

70% seems quite fine. I know it's practicably impossible in this far-right country. 50 years ago the largest employer was General Motors which paid the equivalent of $50 an hour, today it's Walmart at $7.25 an hour. $18ish bucks is right around what it needs to be given the inflation of the last 30 years. I visited Israel which has a 100% tax on cars, just saying. There are more vacant homes in America then homeless people and there are millions of homeless in America. Enough said.

Comment #28

Drenick1 — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 20:47:59 GMT

An ideal scenario for you would most likely be a 90% top tax rate and a $100 an hour minimum wage. That will go a long way towards paying for a $50 Big Mac or a new $200k Toyota Corolla while living in government confiscated mansions that have been converted to multi family units.

Comment #27

Kingofearth — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 20:37:15 GMT

The top tax rate in the 1950's was 90%. If only we could have real politicians advocating reasonable rates like that. Unfortunately all we got in 2016 was the centrist Sanders and his pathetic 52%. The rest of the world laughs at us and our insane obsessions with low taxes, no gun control and terrifyingly low minimum wage.

That's communism, very different. Political Science and History. I did take Africana studies classes because you won't have any other time in your life to be able to study what is going on in the world (the third world especially) and the history of it. Go to a border town on either border and you'll get laughed out of town for saying that. Unfortunately, i am unilingual but i have studied Spanish and Hebrew. I don't remember any of it.

Kingofearth — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 18:27:04 GMT

Why would their English proficiency matter at all? Just hand them the play slip and that's it. The last thing you want when money is involved is to give and get small talk with people you don't know and who would know that you won.

My favorite time was when I went in to the neighborhood 7-11 and asked for 14 mega millions with multiplyer and got 40 without the multiplyer. The clerk who had limited English thought 14 meant 4-0 not 14. And she argued with me (a native English speaker) that I didn't know what 14 meant! It wasn't even a misunderstanding except for hers on what 14 means. And she had no idea what the megaplyer was and was too arrogant to ask me.

They act like lotto is some new thing that started a few weeks ago, and the whole world has now jumped on the lotto-wagon.

And now, they're sick of dealing with all lotto players.

It's a akin to some local banks that removed the coin sorters/counters, for folks who save

The fortune cookie event..... It is entirely possible for 10 or 11 people to self pick the same combination given human nature. Add in 1 or 2 quick pick matches and thus a 12 way split.

TheMeatman2005 — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 16:19:51 GMT

I stopped to get one MM ticket with the Megaplier. I asked the cashier for a MM ticket with Megaplier. He said You want a $2 mega? I said, NO, I want one game with the multiplier. He gave me a $1 Mega ticket, without the Megaplier.

So, I ended up taking that ticket, plus a ticket with Megaplier after he finally understood that I wanted one game with Megaplier and not two $1 games.
