No. Explain why it is NOT way to easy for you to win, but is for others. I have this gut feeling that Todd will make an exception, especially for you to change your name.

Can't do that because it's not true, it's NOT way too easy for me to win. I did make a signature just for you. Do you approve? LOL

The Powerball site has a tongue-in-cheek QP statistic from a few years ago, but my guess is PB and MM QP sales are well over 90% of ticket sales.

The real odds are printed on the back of the play slips... MM (1 in 24),... PB ( 1 in 24.56).. or something like that...

Yea, Congrats to the LuCkY winner, because Lottery Officials were surely dodging MY number picks.. and as usual, somebody wins elsewhere..!

Same thing happens when I play Pwrball.. Like in Football, they'd rather throw away the Ball, than get $acked, by ME...!!

But, I'm coming... and Horseshoes, Rabbit feet Probability SKILLZ are with me..

Gonna let you in on a little secret prince of thieves. Before l joined LP, l was looking for a easy name to go off, l almost chose Way-to-easy but backed off.

l would be honored if you would bench your present name take this one, after all, it suits your philosophy.

Say yes

Well the odds may need to change to make it harder because it's way too easy for winners to win. It's about saving the games, if PB and MM are paying out more than they're taking in, then the games could potentially go bankrupt. I believe states with a population of over 10,000,000 or so need their own MUSL game that's literally hard as hell to win.

l actually thought it was you rcb. Just as when a winner is called from Oregon, l think it's Weshar75.

Anyways, next time buckeye.

Or is it population and thus ticket sales?

Top three states in population;

California

Texas

Florida

Today, they don't design these games so that someone can hit the jackpot at $80 or $227 million anymore. They want to see $900+ million jackpots. Not getting enough of those? Let's alter the matrix yet again, raise the ticket price to $3, and raise the odds of hitting the jackpot from nearly impossible to absolutely impossible: Let's make it 1 in 400,000,000.

Congrats to Tx winner on MegaMillions. Christmas is around the bend.

You watch: with MM PB jackpots being hit every 3 to 4 weeks lately, the greedy lottery associations will be raising the odds of both games again. Pretty soon it will be: Pick 5 out 80 and 1 out of 35. It will happen. That's when we should all boycott both, if not now already. In 2006, PB jackpot odds were 1 in 175 million. Today it is 1 in 292 million.

Finally a winner in Texas. It's been a while. Ticket was sold in Cedar Park, a little north of Austin, a QP. It was a cash value ticket worth app $156.5 million.

Wish it had been me.

Another jackpot is just around the corner. Thank You for playing.

Update: Additional information about retailer and historical context

A single ticket sold in Texas matched the winning numbers from Tuesday night's Mega Millions drawing and is worth an estimated $227 million.

The Texas Lottery announced that the ticket was sold at the Lakeline Express Mart on 2004 N. Lakeline Boulevard in Cedar Park. The retailer is eligible to receive a $1 million retailer bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket, which was a quick pick.
