It can be added, but that is a whole next level of complexity. Doing so would require that we somehow capture all prize levels and number of winners for all games, which is such a tremndous undertaking that I have not seen any website tackle it so far.

The annuity has been $2M, $1.6M, $5,5M, $11M, $7.5M, $8M. etc. Not that those are bad annuity numbers (I would take them in a heart beat), but nothing in the $38M range. The multiple winners for the last year has been 2 in 12; which will reduce that take home. The big advantage is that there is no tax hit, what so ever, in NJ; so whe... [ More ]

NJ Pick-6 Lotto? That's right, it has rolled to $12 million. Only Powerball and Mega Millions are bigger. I think this could be a long run. Remember when it hit $38,000,000? Pretty good deal for a 6/49.
