Do you wager the same amount regardless of the size of either jackpot?

Hi noise-gate,

I do spend a little more if the jackpot is 250 million plus. Since I would be very happy winning 2nd prize on PB or MM any amount is playable for me. I always play with the extra dollar for both MM and PB and usually will buy one ticket but not all the time.

Years ago i would buy more tickets, in turn, it would boost my hopes even higher, then let me down even more.

I spend $2 on most draws but will bump it to $5 when the jackpot exceeds $100 million. Over $300 million, I will throw in an extra $2 but that is it. I think it's foolish to spend more than that even if the jackpot is over a billion dollars.

Ridge. It would be great to Stay the Course and find out that you the Sole winner of either JP in the $200-$400 mil range.

Here's to dreaming..

Steady as she goes.

Stay the course.

Don't rock the boat.

Wouldn't be prudent.

Depends if I hit the 3 digit or not, if I do, I may play extra.

I have 2 season tickets for MM and PB, but when they reach over 250 mil, i throw another 10 picks at it.

l like your One Line approach maringoman- the save some ammo for tomorrow's fight rings true. l wonder about lottery pools which wager $100.00 a draw and up, only to come away with major losses time after time.

I usually play $1 per draw using my numbers that change every draw. However, this last $400 million MM jackpot, I did buy one extra line using Lottery Post's Quick Pick Generator. Won $1.

Increase when higher jackpots. Don't play unless it has reached a certain point, 200 on MM and 300 on PB. And don't play if my european lotteries have better cost/jackpot-ratio, even if jackpot are way lower. My swedish Lotto has a startjackpot of 3 mil sek, equals $450k...

Betting one line at a time gives you a shot at the glory and also leaves you some ammo for tomorrow's fight. One line of MM with MP a year costs you $204. One line

of PB with PP a year costs you $312. That $516 is more than enough considering the odds.

I use the advanced play feature to force me keep within budget.

I similar to Saylorgirl, but I feel that I have to spend more when the jackpot gets really high.

When the JP's are at their base as both the MM and PB are now I will play my set of always play numbers. As the jackpots increase to the $300 - $400 million I will add additional numbers and a few QP's.

Do you wager the same amount regardless of the size of either jackpot?

noise-gate — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 15:55:04 GMT

Should the JP get into the $300-$400 million range, do you add more Benjamin's hoping to increase your chances? l usually add another $10.00 either way.
