I wonder if the jackpot will go higher before tonight.

Had the Megaball(4) all by its lonesome and nothing else to write home about.

ONTOOOOOOO THE POWERBALL !!!!

Bought 5 lines and didn't match a single number on any of them.

I have 4 lines for Powerball tomorrow night.

Hopefully that will hit something.

Louisiana Lottery says it's $1.13 billion. I picked up my tickets over the weekend.

Its only a measly $10 MILL....just a mild flexing under the economy...it's all good,nothing to see here folks.

Todd — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 17:46:14 GMT

Interestingly, it appears the official Mega Millions website got it wrong. The actual estimate for tonight is $1.13 billion , not $1.12 billion. That's a difference of $10,000,000, so not insignificant.

I will cross-post this on the Powerball story too, since there's discussion about it there.

Hey folks. ..... I have some bad news to report.

I didn't win anything tonight.

I had one number (not the Powerball) on my four tickets.

I sincerely apologize for letting you all down.

I'll make a better effort to win next time

So so sorry

KY Floyd — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 01:00:47 GMT

do the two jackpots help or hinder the other as it pertains to lottomania?

I'd think that not playing PB when the MM jackpot is $100 or $200 million higher would be the obvious strategy considering that the cost is the same and the odds are very close to being the same, but I've never noticed an obvious effect of one game on the other. Maybe when they're both really big and one gets hit a few people figure they should try their luck on the remaining one before it gets hit, too.

OTOH if California had legalized sports betting, Oshani's interpreter would not in hot water right now.

Their coffers would really be bursting if it ever was addressed there---don't know about that

Let me win the jackpot.

I promise to buy aunt Hildegard a mahogany coffin, the biggest wreath, a limousine hearse and a marble head stone.

Did I miss something on that list

Comment #36

JustMaybe — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 03:24:23 GMT

it has never worked for anyone here, think about it.

Maybe it has, they just did not say it - majority have an alias like Coin Toss - there is no telling that Coin Toss has not won a jackpot before

ShagE3 — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 00:39:32 GMT

Ques: would you rather win Powerball or mega millions and find out the next morning that your great aunt Hildegard passed away during a bunjee jump gone awry or would you rather lose out on the jackpot and enjoy aunt Hildegard's company for the remainder of her life .... a whooping three months

Coin Toss — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 00:28:16 GMT

Good so far no one has Jinxed them self by claiming a jackpot that the numbers have not even been drawn for............,it has never worked for anyone here, think about it.

ShagE3 — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 00:10:31 GMT

There once was a Shag named E3

He wanted a little more m o n e y

He bought him some tickets for mm and PB

And hopes for a winning jackpot or two, yippee

But alas for the time being

He will be eating a liverwurst sandwich on rye bread with arugula, tomato, red onion and Dijon mustard and two gherkin pickles on the side.

Cheerio sports

JustMaybe — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 17:18:28 GMT

For the record my PB ticket did not match a single number.

So onward we go - waiting for Monday and Tuesday.

Tossing in the local jackpot, lucky for life and 2by2 into the mix.

Fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

You know, I'm sure it has cupholders, but the question for me with cupholders in a Corvette is how deep they are. I never put actual drinks in mine, because whatever is in the cupholders tends to fly out when you get on it. They are always too shallow. Corvette cupholders should come with some kind of extra locking mechanism for whatever is sitting in there.

Ok Todd you talked me into it. I hope it has cup holders for my coffee for when i roll out of bed at 1 pm in the afternnon after my big win.

CDanaT — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 10:02:56 GMT

Well now........glad you kids already have plans for my new toys. Annnnnnnnnd of course the PB was not in my repertoire last night. Onward we go !!! Good luck to all

I think if he wins, he should get a matching set and share.

Super-man — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 04:08:29 GMT

I just let my 3-year old son pick some random numbers that he thought are lucky. Would be a nice and funny story if his numbers miraculously win the jackpot.

Comment #24

JustMaybe — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 02:03:05 GMT

I have my PB ticket with PP.

I also have my winners claim form and my spreadsheet budget.

Now all I can do is sip on some lemon tea and wait for the draw.

I thought of all the things that I could do with such an amount, then I remembered that if I win I may do totally different things from what I was thinking about.

Well, well, wishing us all good luck

Comment #23

ShagE3 — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 23:08:54 GMT

Ques to ponder: do the two jackpots help or hinder the other as it pertains to lottomania?

Would mega millions already be 1.1 bil if Powerball was 20 to 300 mil and vice versa?

Just dreaming big-time thoughts pre drawing .

P.U.: What stinks?

Phydeaux, you go outside to do your business

The $48 million seems correct according to the NJ lottery's website impressive because that's when it was $1/ticket too

Hi folks ...

Gonna be an exciting week

Good luck to everyone here on the next big jackpots down the road.

I had a feeling that it would jump to 1 billion dollars and it will definitely continue to climb higher by Tuesday night. Powerball will probably continue to climb up to the billion dollars level if no one hits tonight! Best of luck to all that play on this website I got my numbers this morning at 6am when I gassed up my truck for the week ahead. Would definitely enjoy either win and give to great organizations and local non profits in my community.

Well everything is working towards the lottery gods plan! The top 10 jackpots are all now a billion or more. Pretty soon it will be top 25 . They knew what they were doing when they changed the game! If someone would asked us if we would be living in the world were USA is ranked 62 as the unhappiest places to live but world record breaking pots including the largest record pot in world history $2 billion that can change your life and other generations for hundreds of years, I'll say sign me up...

PrisonerSix — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 14:28:47 GMT

I picked my own last night and only matched 1 number on 4 lines. I might do a mix of quickpicks and my own this time.

Comment #7

Todd — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 14:13:39 GMT

I've been watching that one too! Only about $5 million from its all-time high.

After some more digging I wanted to correct this: The largest NJ Pick 6 was $48.9 million in 2001. The problem is that I only have jackpot info for that game going back to 2002. If someone is aware of a source that goes back further I'd love to see it.

NJPiney — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 14:10:47 GMT

And the NJ pick 6 is nearly $30 million good luck everyone

any guesses as to which of the half dozen suspect states it'll hit in this time

lottobrain — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 13:29:35 GMT

I always pick my own numbers which fails a lot but does better than QPs. Last night did not get one number right out of 12 WB numbers picked for the Maddog challenge and bought 8 QPs and did not get one number right on any of those either

$1.1 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot now the eighth-largest in history

Lottery Post — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 12:31:46 GMT

Powerball jackpot simultaneously offers massive wealth

By Todd Northrop

For the eighth time in history a lottery jackpot has grown to more than a billion dollars.

Last night nobody won the Mega Millions multi-state lottery drawing, triggering another jackpot rollover that created a Tuesday jackpot estimated at $1.1 billion with a cash value of $525.8 million.

Based on past multi-state lottery jackpots, that estimate may get a lot bigger by the time the drawing kicks off Tuesday n... [ More ]
