I thought there was a winner cuz a family member told me they went to a site that stated just that .....and I figured they were delayed in announcing it on the official website and this board cuz they had another state was slow counting and they had to wait for the complete results.

Having said all that I won NOTHING but came very close numerically speaking of winning $400 - I was one number off on four of the winning numbers for whatever that is worth.

Well I can't even afford peanuts n... [ More ]

Hey y'all,

Should one of you win tonight congratulations!

May you do good with the prize and have fun doing it.

Also .... may you and your family and friends be protected from evildoers.

May you seek wise advice

May you take a breath (like a few months worth at least) before you make your claim.

May you not go overboard on unhealthy food ..... like oliveloaf and liverwurst.

May you stay humble.

May you remember from whence you came.

May you still look for bar... [ More ]

Prob988 — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 22:49:27 GMT

The Poisson distribution for the probability for various numbers of winners, based on the estimated sales posted on the Texas Lottery website, $166,593,667, is as follows:

k, number of winners p(m,k)

0 74.34%

1 22.04%

2 3.27%

3 0.32%

4 0.02%

5 0.00%

Sales of course, may ultimately be higher, in which case, the probability of a single winner or multiple winners at each level will go up and the probability of no winner, 0, will go down.

A nice day for a change so we walked. On the way home stopped @ the store end of the road. A rescue ticket was waiting to be purchased....$90 one. No PP/DP. Cashier really screwed that up. Had no money and no purchase even if I had

it better not be fixed or better not be califorina think lottery hypes it up so you go out buy more tickets it only takes one

Comment #26

JustMaybe — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 05:35:29 GMT

Let's say I win the jackpot on the next draw.

I take the cash option and walk away with $360M and some change

I put it all in a 12 month T bill at 3.4% PA

After taxes I have $7.7M.

Now the question is what do I do with $7.7M in 2026.

The interest is an insane amount of money.

One thing I know I would do is travel, travel, travel - all the 7 continents would be on my list.

I think I would buy an RV and hit the road.

Ooh if only my QP numbers come up

KY Floyd — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 05:11:14 GMT

I think there will be multiple winners.

As long as they've sold two or more tickets there's a chance of multiple winners, but the chance is pretty low until sales get pretty big. Actual sales will be higher, but the initial estimate is for about 77.25 million tickets. For that many tickets, if they were all chosen randomly, the chance of any number of winners is 23.23%. The chance of a single winner is 22.21% so if the jackpot is hit there's a 95.6% chance of a single winner. There's a 2.68... [ More ]

Thank you for the update.

That's a healthy choice.

I can have peanuts and cashew nuts anytime.

Good luck on future draws.

Apologies if this has been answered in some recent comments, but what accounts for the disparity in number of rollovers vs jackpot size? From the above list, that record jackpot of over $2B was achieved with 40 rollovers, whereas the current smaller jackpot of $1.25B has taken an extra 3 rollovers. Is it just the volume of tickets sold for this current cycle is less than previous, hence a lower jackpot amount

Thanx to all who responded to my question yesterday...

Thanx 4 the cash over annuity recommendation when your past your 30s 40s . I concur if I were younger I'd go for the annuity ....

Does anyone have inside info on the new millionaire for life game starting next year? What id like to know is will there still be a minimum 20 years on the annuity and will there still be a cash option? Just curious - but at $5 a ticket I'll only play once a week if even that ..... and that will be when pb... [ More ]

Whenever the jackpot is won, I think there will be multiple winners...

As for me I'm gonna load up on My Grandma's of New England coffee cakes. If you haven't had one, then you don't know what your missing.

Gourmet and they cost way too much as far as coffee cake's are concerned. But they're dee-lish and after winning the jackpot you'll be able to afford them! G5

KY Floyd — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 18:49:42 GMT

Interesting that cash and annuity are both #11 at the moment. The annuity will almost certainly move up to at least the #10 spot and has a reasonable chance to move up as high as #7. There's a good chance for the cash value to move up one spot, but pretty much zero chance of moving up to #9.

What percentage of possible ticket combinations will be sold for Wednesday s draw?

Their first forecast is for 23.2% but it's going to be higher than that. I don't know if they'd bump the jackpot to... [ More ]
