Just observed something for the first time on the top 25 Annuity list to see where the increase put this PB jackpot at... Ever notice how the jackpot hasn't been won in the $800M or even $900M range....... Goes from 768 right to a Billion+.....Well,should this roll and get to $8-900M, I will gladly volunteer to be 1st winner in that category

I was talking about MM PB this week, both five # payouts were under $370K. This is in reply to Meatman's comment.

See that PB went up to $750 million...maybe it'll creep higher.

The MM draw from July 7 had one 5/5 winner in CA and they won $1,698,158.

Tonight's Powerball jackpot raised to $750 million / $378.8 million cash option.

The rankings jump to #10 in the annuity list and #17 in the cash option list.

Sorry Wave.... the MM deity saw it fit to give us 10-17-33-51-64 5 Better luck next time.

$560M does have a nice ring to it though.....

PB here we come !!-----$725,000,000/$366,200,000. Cash

MegaMillions rolled again. Now $560million.

Of course Todd has to report it, but I don't know why a 750 million dollar PB jackpot is news anymore. If it grows to over one billion, then that'd be news.... G5

Now when I click on the App it goes away. Last weekend it would stay open, but said when the administrators get rid of the bugs, then you can reload the app.

The 'poor' California player five #'s on MM and just over $365K thanks to pari-mutuel, though sometimes they do hit it big that way.

EnReval — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 04:30:16 GMT

Looks like MM n PB gonna be rising 2gether

Afraid not PT2...... This thread covered that aspect in all of the states.

I thought TN was a state where you can claim anonymously...No

In the spirit of positive affirmation, I positively affirm that [3 39 19 15 16] 24 are the drawn numbers for the next Mega Millions draw.

Comment #20

JustMaybe — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 18:37:07 GMT

Out of the millions of tickets bought, only two hit the second tier prize - drats

I only buy a ticket per drawing but this amount is worth two tickets - not that it makes any difference lol

Hope lady luck smiles at me

I tried to find lottery places in the Google store and it is not showing up.

Is it still out there

Comment #18

wander73 — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 17:47:25 GMT

I would have said don't take annuity but something is saying take it for a reason.

Comment #17

wander73 — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 17:46:20 GMT

If I hit 5 numbers I know where the money is going. pay down credit cards, buy a couple of stocks in my notes. get more reselling going. Help my mom pay the house and go from there.

Comment #16

Bleudog101 — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 17:23:53 GMT

Had bought tickets in GA TN as well as here in KY...nada. Also have Indiana ticket from several weeks ago.

Just bought some more PB/PP in KY and had also purchased not yet drawn tickets in GA TN Mega Millions.

Hey, has anyone noticed that Lottery Places (at least on my phone) won't work? Says when they get the bugs out of the app to reactivate it.

Comment #15

CDanaT — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 16:40:13 GMT

PB at $725M/$366M CASH ???

MM at $500M/ $251M CASH ??

Very nice !!! Let the dreams/purchasing and family exclusion lists begin.

Comment #14

wander73 — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 16:14:18 GMT

i think I found the answer , will do a pyramid later on. I don't think anyone is hitting it, might go to a million but I found interesting numbers with the 19. for some reason, my mega millions picks are no good. with the system I use.

PrisonerSix — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 15:55:04 GMT

I guess I'm buying more tickets at lunch time

Todd — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 15:43:17 GMT

Mega Millions jackpot for tonight increased to $500 million / $251 million cash.

Thanks Todd for the link........

While we are very fortunate on the lottery-no-income tax thing.... The old adage of The tax man cometh holds true,no matter where you reside in our fair state.

* TN state sales tax is at 7% with local governments adding up to 2.75% onto that figure(THEY DO)

* Tax on food is at 6.75% (Wilson County - just east of Nashville)

NOW....if we could only get our Lottery Director(Becky) and legislature to go full on anonymous, it would be like Christmas

PrisonerSix — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 14:07:41 GMT

MegaMillions needs to get with the program, they are still stuck at $480million! Bump it higher

Comment #9

Todd — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 13:59:12 GMT

I find it better to check the annual payouts with the taxes taken into account .

For example, here's the payout for this drawing in your state of Tennessee . (Congrats on living in a state that does not have a state tax on lottery winnings.

Comment #8

PrisonerSix — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 13:26:45 GMT

I agree with you. It might be better for a younger person to take the annuity.

Comment #7

CDanaT — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 13:22:58 GMT

Hearsetrax is on it !!! Muuuuuch better.

I got looking at the annuity payout plan on the TX lottery site for this upcoming draw

https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Documents/jackpotestimates/pb20230710.pdf

If you were 20-30 years old and had spending control issues, those annuity payouts might not be a bad deal, starting with the 1st deposit at $10,912,290.00

Now, us old curmudgeons ??? We are probably leanin' towards take the money and run .............Either w... [ More ]

I wonder if it will keep rolling and hit a billion again?

Seeing that big burger made me hungry so I'll be buying extra tickets on my lunch break today.

Hot dogs???? C'mon Rmannnnnnnnnnnn......bump it up to Brauts or go all out and get burgers

That jackpot would buy a lot of hotdogs

$725 MILLION: Powerball jackpot now 11th-largest in history

Lottery Post — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 11:59:27 GMT

By Todd Northrop

This week lottery players across the United States will be pulling out all the stops to try and win Powerball, featuring one of the largest lottery jackpots in history, worth an estimated $725 million.

If you feel like it's been a long time since Powerball last had a jackpot winner you'd be right. Powerball has seen 35 consecutive drawings since April 19 , when a $252.6 million jackpot was won by a single ticket sold in Ohio.

All those drawings have accumulated a mas... [ More ]
