it sounds different because of perception. What is perceived can be easily deceived.

Both Jackpots have been won since I last posted, and the anamoly between the two current JP is quite staggering.

90 Million VS 25 Million.

40 vs 15.

But a QP player must remember to play in Illinois because the RNG is more in tune to the tipton JP winning pattern.

saying a half billion dollars sounds bigger to me than saying 500M$. I know its the same thing - I just never quite thought of it like that. (which means I am in serious need of sleep)

When both games have high jackpots then players play both and this results in more money going to the participating jurisdictions.

I am not sure about this round but eventua... [ More ]

The Multi State PowerBall, and MegaMillions games are at a rare equivalency. (At least from my experience and memory)

They are at an average of 143 million dollar JP, and both had an increase of 15 million from their previous draws.

How long will this trend continue and will this provide an opportunity for MUSL marketers to determine if the more thrifty players will flock to the lower cost game over the more pricey choice?

I suppose MUSL wet dream would be for them both to get to a Bil... [ More ]
