I wouldn't mind them adding more states if they didn't up the matrix. But I guess we can't have it both ways.

Can you not play your local state lotto to get away from the MM odds? And then when MM or PB gets way up in the prize range you want you can put a buck or two on it then?

I usually don't play any of the big games until the top prize reaches 100M. Like any of the the lower prizes wouldn't make me happy.

The state lotteries are getting greedy and stupid. They are bound and determined to dilute and ruin the games. It is easier to dilute and ruin than it is to come up with better games to attract the players.

The odds are too high already and when they go higher I will quit.

What next? Will we be able to play any states in-state games? How about being able to buy tickets from anywhere in the world from your states terminal

That's what happens when they add a state though.

Peope get excited over the promise of bigger jackpots. The Possible $500,000,000 Jackpot with the addition of California to Mega Millions hasn't happened yet, not even close.

I rhink I'd rather see a third multi-state entity (something beyond the three state Win for Life) than I would anymore Powerball or Mega Million expansions.

Teh already near impossible odds just get ridiculous.

I have no objection at all to other states joining, but I do object vehemently to them jacking up the matrix to make the odds even more extreme

I don't like it when it gets harder to win, that's why I wait until the Powerball hits $100 million before buying tickets for myself. If the odds get raised, I may raise that floor as well. On the other hand, the jackpots climb faster and higher, which is OK.

Ever since Florida joined Powerball and jacked up the chances of losing, I quit. When California joined MM, I was about to quit but at the time it was pretty close to Powerball odds so I decided to stay. With more states Joining PB or MM, the chances of winning gets worse and worse. If anymore states join Mega Millions and the odds go up, I QUIT .
