The sheer ignorance of some that one party affiliation is really any different than the other is hysterical. Pass the moonshine..........

Actually, the smart people are leaving California and going to Arizona.

All that's left in California is massive debt, crushing taxes and hordes of illegal aliens (undocumented democrats) demanding their rights .

It's the aftermath of democrats gone wild.

New York is THE WALL STREET of lotteries.We have the money to spend on lottery tickets.Lotteries are about generating revenues and New York provide revenues like other states.

You are just upset that we are not playing that rigged lotto game which was won in upstate New York before mega millions and powerball.New York City players spoke.

TO HAVE A LOTTERY TICKET IS TO HAVE A TALISMAN OF POSSIBLE WEALTH.

We are very spiritual in New York City when it comes to building wealth.You should move to New York City, and we will instill the dream of wealth in you.

Yea, it was too bad about LOTTO. I used to really like it. They also dropped the BONUS play for $1.00

Actually, we do have our own jackpot game, simply called Lotto. Its popularity has declined greatly since NY joined PB and MM, and as a result the jackpot has decreased, leading to a vicious cycle. The jackpots used to be pretty robust, but now they start at $3M and only go up $500K at a time. It takes forever just to get it up to the $12M Mega minimum.

I was just sad to see it hit before the New Year's weekend. I was really hoping it would have rolled to that point just so I could be right about something for a change.

That last part is an interesting idea. However, the odds are so long that you could have 50 investors each put $1,000 per month in PB or MM and none of you would ever live to see a jackpot win.

kick NY out of the multi-state games? how much revenue towards the jackpot do you think NY'ers are contributing? I suspect that as a percentage, NY'ers win far less than dollars spent. The winning ticket was sold in a supermarket in a middle to lower-middle income neighborhood (but in the adjoining town to Rocky Point which sold a $165 million mega ticket in December 2009 or 2010). good luck to all with dreams of winning.

It's simple factors. A) NY has a huge population = more ticket sales = more chances B) It's a huge welfare state. People cash their check from some kind of assistance and don't hesitate to throw $50 into the lottery.... I see it in the local bodega and dollar stores where I work all the time.

But hey who knows. If someone were to start a corporation or LLC with 50 investors, and it's purpose was to hit the lottery when it's over $50 Million, it's kind of like a lottery pool, but I'm sure... [ More ]

NY should be kicked out of MM and PB. Let them have their own state jackpot game where they can win all the time.

People in NY must go to the C-Store with duffel bags full of $100 bills to buy their tickets or something.

Yeah, whever NY wins Im suspect of the rich getting richer. There is no law against them getting richer, and their money spends to play like others. But deep down I always hope that its a person/family who really are in need of a break through circumstance.

New York hit the Jackpot again...WTF!!

Wonder if it's some needy investment bankers already making 100 million per year with help from a bailout or two
