Could "can't win" ever become this strong?

By Labor Day multiple winners will hit. A 20-draw qp will keep one in the game until then.

Good luck to us all.

How can Can't win not exist?

Not even California or New Jersey can win right now.

Neither game will be won until ALL possible number combinations are sold and if that doesn't happen...well I guess MM and PB will never see another winner again.

At Mega millions current pace, it'll take at least until late August before it reaches 1.5 Billion. And don't forget that between Cash and taxes you'll end up with well below a billion.

Once again the winning lottery numbers are 1-2-3-4-5-6, there were no winners.

It could just be $1.5 Billion, that's the prize I'm aiming for when I play the lotto in July. I won't even get paid until July.

Your scenario is too frightening right now, though.

2/3rds of a billion between them and yet not a word about it from the news. They won't get even half of the possible combo's until it gets even some coverage.

Yeah it's funny that I wrote this, because this scenario really is playing out right now.

Neither game will be won until ALL possible number combinations for both are purchased.

For crying out loud, New York, Florida, New Jersey, California, and Michigan can't even win. You know it's bad when those states can't win.

Your story is feeling really really realistic right now. Both jackpots are increasing slowly despite both being massive amounts. We might have 2 preliminary jackpots on the 25 highest annuity/cash jackpot lists soon if neither hits.

The point is that you cannot lose when you do not play. People with a positive attitude avoid playing.

I don't think that where or when you buy a ticket affects if it will be a winner or not. Some states have more people than others and will sell more tickets. Hence, those states might have more winners than others, but nothing changes the odds of winning.

The only thing that does make a difference is if you buy a ticket or not.

Can't win it if you're not in it.

After two years without a winner for Powerball's $21.5 billion drawing, and Mega Millions $19.2 billion drawing both lottery's changed to random number generators for their drawings. Ironically, since this change, one player has hit both massive lotteries in the same week. A prison inmate who has been granted anonymity due to the massive sizes of the jackpots, will be living the life after he completes his 10 year sentence. Unrelated, the prison warden of this lucky inmate has announced his reti... [ More ]

Wow. Sounds like a cool plot for a movie. I'd watch it.

There are reasons why lottery is not exciting anymore: same states winning the jackpots/second prize wins, less winners per year and the odds are too high.

If people dream of winning the jackpot and realize their real chances to win the first price, they will loose interest and buy less tickets. The real players will like classical casino games and lottery games where you win from time to time.

Could "can't win" ever become this strong?

This is a fictional scenario, but here goes...

Is this a webstory we might see in the future?

MEGA MILLIONS AND POWERBALL STILL AT RECORD JACKPOT AMOUNTS BUT NO ONE CARES TO PLAY.

Once again there were no winners in the last drawing for Powerball's $21.5 billion drawing, and Mega Millions $19.2 billion drawing. The jackpots both increased only by a paltry $10 million this time. Why? There haven't been any jackpot winners for either game since the spring of 2016. You wou... [ More ]
