If you must play,

decide upon three things at the start:

the rules of the game,

the stakes,

and the quitting time.

I was right and I would bet even more will be spent this week, although I suspect it will take four or five more rolls before sales reach the frenzy point which seems to start at $70M for both games.

RJOh — Sat, 30 May 2015 20:08:04 GMT

You're not alone, over $40M were spent on tickets for last night MM drawing and suspect close to the same will spent on tickets for tonight's PB drawing.

Wow noise-gate, you do have a memory for music. Do you know Don McNay ? He has authored many books about lottery winners and he starts each chapter with a musical verse.

It looks like both PB MM are taking too long to get to the uncharted territories i.e. above $700 million.

I agree that Lottery fatigue is setting in.

No one will win either game until ALL possible number combinations are sold, so get ready for billion $ jackpots

Even a $253 million jackpot can't generate any excitement. Not the case for me as I will be more than happy to participate in the current run that both PB and MM are experiencing.

LottoMetro — Sat, 30 May 2015 02:02:36 GMT

MM will be $253 million if no winner tonight.

Texas and Oklahoma accounts for at least 10 million+ of lottery sales. It's bound to be impacted for both games.

RJOh — Thu, 28 May 2015 02:07:51 GMT

Maybe lottery fatigue is starting to settle in again especially with the multi-state lotteries. If players were hoping to win a million dollars then there are plenty of local lotteries that offer that amount and more with better odds.

Looks like PB sales are down indeed, $171 million if no winner tonight.

Yes, per-draw. Your estimates for the next drawings are pretty close to mine. I use the theoretical value, which is same methodology that MUSL uses. It looks like sales for MM are going to be pretty low though, considering if not hit tonight the rollover will be lower than the previous 2 (albeit could be related to interest rates). MUSL is also projecting lower sales for PB Wednesday versus the previous draw. I wonder if the bad weather that has been hitting much of the U.S. is to blame.

We are all dreamers here. We are imagining what we would do with the winnings. How to go about winning and what we should do when we win.

I am sure that most of us here at LP have written plans to follow when we win D BIG WON !!

Good Luck to all

Anything can happen if some of the members use those work outs that they claim have won in past drawings. I'll be picking 15 lines very similar to the winning numbers in last Friday drawing and hoping I'll do better than a 0+1 for a dollar.

It's based on sales data for jackpots of similar size over the past year.

Reply #38

RJOh — Tue, 26 May 2015 06:37:05 GMT

Is your guesstimating based on predicted sales, previsions history of jackpots of similar sizes or something totally unrelated

Reply #37

Murgatroyd — Tue, 26 May 2015 03:36:43 GMT

Those are the per-drawing chances of a hit, right? My estimate for PB Wednesday is 10-11%, with MM Tuesday at 14-15%. If there's no winner, the following drawings are 11-12% and 16-17% respectively.

RJOh — Mon, 25 May 2015 22:58:23 GMT

If you don't buy a ticket and encourage all your friends to do the same, in some small way you will be doing all you can to help it happens. Good luck.

Both these Jackpots are now part of the Low Hanging Fruit , meaning, they need to be won. In other words

hearsetrax — Mon, 25 May 2015 22:12:28 GMT

it'd be nice to hit the billion mark .... but would settle for a nice hefty $500 mark

Reply #33

Teddi — Mon, 25 May 2015 22:08:59 GMT

Ditto that.

Two concurrent billion dollar jackpots would be awesome. But can you imagine how long it would take to build back up a sizable jackpot after they get hit? Plus I'm guessing most people's extra spending money would be wiped out after that.

Good Luck to all LP Members and players.

$214/$130 cash for the MM is a nice amount to win this week...I am ready to accept that after-taxes responsibility.

$154/$96 cash for the PB is also a nice lil chunk of change that would be favorable in my account as well.

Now.......the trick is getting those numbers drawn to match the ones on my ticket.. shouldn't be too hard

On the 5 MM tickets I bought, I won $1 and $2. Instead of reinvesting my 3 bucks back into MM, I bought PB and SuperLotto tickets.

I FEEL LUCKY! But, then again, I always do.

As always, the best of luck to everyone.

LottoMetro — Sat, 23 May 2015 03:12:30 GMT

No, based on sales estimates (I revised my %'s based on more recent data). While jackpots do drive sales, probability of a hit is not directly related to the level of the jackpot. Interestingly though, the lottery creates their sales projections based on recent draw sales correlated to past, similar jackpot levels.

Reply #13

RJOh — Sat, 23 May 2015 03:00:19 GMT

Are those ~13% and ~9% chances based on the percent of times they have hit previously when their jackpots were at their present level or lower or what

Reply #12

LottoMetro — Sat, 23 May 2015 02:54:37 GMT

I've estimated 12-13% chance of MM being hit and 9-10% chance of PB being hit. I'm indifferent for at least the next 4-5 draws or so
