I took your advice and checked the Texas Lottery website. In response to my original question, I counted 62 rolls.

Thanks anyways.

63x. It took 2 mins to check that on their website.

1. Read the article.

2. Consult a calendar.

3. Count.

I did not ask how many times the jackpot will roll. I asked how many times the jackpot has rolled.

It's rolling until buckeye brings it to its knees. A worthy inheritor

As of today, August 20, how many times in a row has the Lotto Texas jackpot rolled?

I feel your pain. In WI the state Megabucks game can go almost three years without a jackpot win. Sure it's a smaller population but it's ridiculous and discouraging nonetheless.

If you are looking for a place to play USA lotteries from overseas, go to USA Mega and click on any of the colored jackpot boxes on the right side in the Marketplace section. That is the only service recommended, as they have known jackpot winners in the past, and all have successfully claimed their prizes.

Any service that you can recommend as online it's really hard to tell which site is geniune.

Yes,through a butler service. They purchase the ticket or tickets for you within the country the jackpot is played.

Is there a way to play the jackpot from India

Bleudog101 — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 14:08:57 GMT

I wish they'd revamp that outdated 1961 law...heck Internet wasn't even thought of--so we could buy tickets across state lines on-line or over the phone.

I would be exempt State tax

No, you'd pay whatever tax the state imposes on income earned in the state by any non-resident.

kao1632 — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 01:28:05 GMT

As a non-resident alien (New Zealand citizen living in NZ) I would be exempt State tax (In some cases they won't even deduct withholding tax. In other cases, you probably have to lodge a claim for a refund). Federal tax (for a non-resident alien) is (generally) limited to the withholding tax rate of 30%. -- that applies to any taxable prize US$600 and above, so we tend tp lose out on the lesser prizes)

So tax-wise for a non-resident alien buying using a butler service, there is no differ... [ More ]

If only we could all buy tickets across state lines. The states collect sales tax across state lines but refuse to let the lotteries compete across state lines. Competition would make the lotteries better.

The best part of this Texas sized JP is that Texas has no state income tax on it and you can claim it and go for the anonymous option too.

I don't understand why the foreign ticket butler services don't buy all their PB and MM in Texas.

Too bad we all can't just play whicheve... [ More ]

If I'm ever that lucky, I would still be on the forum.

Texas is an anonymous state. I like that. No need to let the whole world know.

rcbbuckeye — Sun, 16 Aug 2020 21:37:42 GMT

Usually the jackpot amount is updated within 30-45 minutes after the draw. I like that.

Hmm, l wonder if buckeye would show up to let the forum know he bagged this one? Questions, questions..

At this rate my take two years to get even close to a billion. What I miss most was the EXCITEMENT when it got sky high and which ever lottery it was would throw in another $50 million or so and the frenzy was incredible. Here in KY they updated their signs to LED so it could reflect let's say $1 Billion.

KLC sent me a message this morning asking if I heard of Win, Place or Show a new $2 lotto. Said I hadn't so went to the store to play one being the first day. Of course horse country would h... [ More ]

but it is also the second-largest jackpot in the world behind the 85 million (US$ 93.71 million) Euro Millions prize.

They didn't look very hard..

The New Zealand lottery (Powerball) was a must win NZ$50 million on Saturday (15 Aug 2020)

That equates (using https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?From=NZD To=USD Amount=50000000.00 )

50,000,000 NZD = 32,703,038.5 USD

KY Floyd — Sun, 16 Aug 2020 04:50:42 GMT

I agree that 60 rolls is quite unusual

According to lottoreport,com this run has sold 66.6 million tickets. The odds of a winner are 1 in 25,827,165 so they've sold 2.58 as many tickets as can be expected, as a long term average, to produce each winner. The probability of selling at least one winning ticket with those sales is 92.41%, so the flip side is that the probability of selling all those tickets without a winner is 7.59% or about 1 in 13.

That's unlikely, but I wouldn't call it qu... [ More ]

Comment #13

rcbbuckeye — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 23:36:38 GMT

Again, my point was there are 25,827,165 combinations in the game. There are anywhere from 1,300,000 to 1,900,000 tickets sold each draw. A very small percentage of the total combinations. That's not on Texas Lottery. To say it is looks like you think Texas Lottery should make sure there is a winner every quarter. In that case the draws would not be random.

I agree that 60 rolls is quite unusual, but to me it also means the draws are random. This not a RNG game, the draws are mechanical drawn... [ More ]

Bleudog101 — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 20:46:15 GMT

Maybe to be more in line with Cash 4 Life which IMHO is a slightly better game and better top payouts. If memory serves me correctly this is drawn in Connecticut and Cash 4 Life is drawn in New Jersey.

Comment #11

Todd — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 20:28:49 GMT

I'm not sure it will be computerized. I do know it will be changed at some point, but it's not going to be canceled. Probably just an increased number matrix with a higher for life top prize. The reason Massachusetts is mentioning it right now is because they need to let players know that season tickets will be limited in the run-up to the changes.

Comment #10

Bleudog101 — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 19:31:21 GMT

And no RNG.

Sorry Todd for going off subject. Just on MA lottery website and said shortly sales of Lucky for Life would end for a new 'BETTER' game in Spring 2021. Let's translate that....better for the lottery, probably harder to win and maybe switch to RNG.

jjtheprince14 — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 15:46:19 GMT

Bus in players from Florida, California, and New Jersey to buy tickets and I bet it will be won in a hurry.

I'm actually surprised no one is cashing in on lottery tourism. Hey! Maybe I should go into that! lol

Comment #8

HaveABall — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 14:24:49 GMT

It's ridiculous that no ticket has won the jackpot in 7 months! This states frequent weekly drawings lottery game should have at least a quarterly jackpot winner.

ln all seriousness rcb, l am pulling for you to hit this jackpot.What a send off that would be, finally knowing your ship came in.

Comment #6

rcbbuckeye — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 03:50:30 GMT

More quick picks are winners than self picks.

It has rolled 60 times since the last winning draw. They sell about 1.3 million tickets for Wednesday's draws, and about 1.9 million tickets for Saturday's draws. Compared to the number of combinations in this game, that's not a lot of tickets.

I've been playing 5 lines since July 22 instead of my normal 1 line.

Comment #5

KY Floyd — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 03:50:23 GMT

The cash value is even better, at almost 85% of the annuity value vs about 80% for the $31 million MM annuity. The odds are almost 12 times better, too. The odds won't change, but in a little while we'll know if MM has rolled to $40 million.

It's also the second largest in the world

The Texas Lottery is up on the world stage as the Lotto Texas jackpot rolled to $32.35 million after no jackpot-winning tickets were sold for the Wednesday, August 12 drawing, making it the biggest prize in the United States right now.
