So your seed in the morning and do not be idle in the evening. For you do not know whether this or that or whether both of them alike will be good.

I play both.

Guess it depends on the jackpot.

yes if MM an PB were neck to neck....I'd play MM...well...I'd still have a few lines in PB.

Now if PB was 300Million or that there 588million an mega millions was less perhaps even 200million or less I'd play more lines for PB, again, ofcourse still have a few lines for MM

I'm sure this is how most people see/do it.

I realize that everyone has their own strategy and reasons for how they play ... great ... to each their own.

But ... I can't understand why, considering that PB and MM is about the same odds for winning, someone would spend $2 on one play of PB instead of the same $2 on two plays of MM.

Multi-draws can be purchased by anyone (of legal age) at the retailer terminal in the lottery jurisdiction and can be carried out of the jurisdiction (unless there is a law in your jurisdiction against possessing a lottery ticket). The number of multi-draws varies by state. Here is the most recent list that we have (note that one week is two draws). These can also change from time to time. Arizona-5 weeks; Arkansas 10 weeks; California-10 weeks; Colorado-13 weeks; Connecticut-13 weeks; DC-10 wee... [ More ]

o ok is 10 the max for all states? maybe someplaces do more. i know here when i used to enter 10 weeks ahead if there was a problem it usually meant one of my games was going to go thru changes.

Good idea, but they only sell up to 10 draws ahead.

try pre purchase of tickets, if they have any changes planed they wont let you buy past the change date.

Perhaps MI is broke and doesn't have money for a functional web site

Wow, I just checked out the Ohio lottery retailer section.

Now, not only does Ohio have to tell PA how to run a turnpike they also have to tell Michigan how to run a Lottery website.

Here is the Michigan retailer section - http://www.michigan.gov/lottery/0,4603,7-110-42426---,00.html

No comparison

Why? Well for one thing you just told me that there sections on web sites that might have the info...I will have to look for those. And B. I am NOT an expert at getting info off the net and there might be someone on here who is better at rooting around and finding the info.

It is funny how some people on this thread have started to fill in info that we don't have...like assuming things we don't know just from having the info in my question...speculation is not what I want...I was hoping so... [ More ]

Oops, I meant to say $1 for a 12 million dollars jackpot. Not 7 millions.

Drawings Held: Tue Fri around 11 p.m.

Cost: $1 Mega Millions, $1 extra for Megaplier

Starting Jackpot: $12 Million

Sales Cut-off: 10:44 p.m.

it already is $2.00 if you get the extra so then i guess it will be $3.00

If all the retailer could give you was a hint from his sources, why would you think anyone could give you more? Some lottery websites have a special section for retailers that anyone can read, at least Ohio's does.

Please tell me that this is just a rumor

I would rather spend $1 for a 7 million dollars jackpot than $2 for a 40 million dollars jackpot. PB business model is a bad idea. MM should never copy their model.

Are you telling us the 'Dollar and a Dream' will be laid to rest come October?

Both games at 2 dollars? Thrifty BRACE YOURSELF

All the retailer could tell me is they impact all the prizes and how fast the Jackpot increases. I talk to my retailer and they tell me news...including if one of the ticket packs seems to be a hot one. They can usually tell me if something is coming up.

They said since Michigan has 60 Multidraws they will have to decrease them on the Mega and then after Oct 20th it will go back up to 60
