The last 3 MM rollovers added 12 mil. each. The latest 3 PB rollovers each added the standard 10 mil. At this rate, it will take a long time to get up to the super huge numbers.

MM and PB pots are growing at the same rate. Twice as many people must be playing MM per draw. PB lost me at the $2 entry level. What were they thinking

- right now MM is matching PB in jackpot size and growth between the draws... so why would I be playing PB? 2x the draws for the same/similar (at this point) jackpots

For $2, I'd rather play 2 lines of MM than 1 of PB.

Second prize on MM can go up to 5mil with megaplier, PB is capped at 2 even with the Power play.

As far as the small prizes, I've won a few bucks on MM far more often than on PB, even when I was playing both equally.

i read some where there x number of balls with x2 on them and only 1 ball with x10. my recollection is aboit 1 in 26 draws should hit the x10, but i could be a bit off, i also recall almost half are x2

Yea, I quit even the occasional ticket.

I did notice that the rollovers are only the minimum 10 Mil.

Maybe that's normal at this level ? I don't know.

It does appear to be trailing the MM which is growing at more then it's minimum.

I wonder how random the 2x-10x multiplier is...

I'm still in every draw. I play one tic. I wasn't winning much before the change, so I don't care. I don't play for the small prizes. I play for the jackpot or second prize. They're both life changing.

Everybody is bitching about the odds but I see it like this. My state lotto is almost 1 in 26 million. PB's second prize is what, about 1 in 11 million. MM's second prize is 1 in 18 million. Still better than the state lotto odds. They are ALL high, high, high. If I'm playing my state lotto,... [ More ]

Hi All!

I quit playing PB last month. I have predicted that the new PB will fail. I used to play PB all the time. Up until Oct 2015, it was my favorite lottery game. I think time will prove it is no longer America's favorite lottery game.

Between the insane odds and low prizes (matching 4 white balls and lower), it isn't worth playing. I think one may get more enjoyment spending the money on a nice hot cuppa!

Having said that, I guess PB players can still dare to dream hitting 4 whit... [ More ]
