What they are doing is putting all the old and loyal players out to pasture by raising the ticket price AND making it harder to win AGAIN!

The statement they are making is 'don't waste your money on these games until the jackpots are super high and even then you probably wont even win a small prize.'

Megaplier Changes

Old Matrix Total of 15 Megaplier Balls

o 2X = 2 Balls

o 3X = 4 Balls

o 4X = 3 Balls

o 5X = 6 Balls

NEW Matrix - Total of 15 Megaplier Balls

o 2X = 5 Balls

o 3X = 6 Balls

o 4X = 3 Balls

o 5X = 1 Balls

So, with the match 5, and winner ball, not all that different from PB - and tickets prices matching (2$ per play, 3$ with Megaplier/Powerplay), what's the benefit/edge... [ More ]
