I didn't know MM paid $500 for matching four numbers, but I knew PB paid $100. The odds favor PB, but considering it's a $2 ticket, MM pays ten times as much for the same $2.

Last year my pool had 4/5. The 5th was 1 off and the PB was several off.

This is a copy paste from another forum I posted in:

On Dec 29, 2014, I had purchased a $5 Quick pick Mega ticket for the Dec 30 drawing. On the first line, I had the mega #. On the second line, I had one of the 5 main numbers. Nothing on the third, and the fourth line had 4 of the 5 main numbers (missing only the one number from the second line).

Had all 5 plus mega (3-7-44-63-67 / 12) on one ticket, just not all on the same line.

I did win $501 though

i have had 1 game that ws 1 number off, and a power ball with all but 1 number 1 off, and the last one being correct.

later i was told to work out the odds of being 1 number out and calculation that out.

it comes up as 2x2x2x2x2x2= or 64 times more likely than getting the right numbers.

ie for every winner there is likely 64 players out there yelling ohhh maaaan
