The overall odds of the various prize categories in Mega and PB are pretty close, but he amounts of the prizes vary as you noted. For example should one get a 4-0 ticket in PB, it only pays $100, but if you were able to get the red PB with those 4 numbers, it pays $50,000!! In Mega if you get a 4-0 ticket it pays $500 and if you get the Mega Ball with those 4 numbers, it pays $10,000. This is 2 of the biggest differences in the two games.

Regarding lower prizes which are hard to win, 2 WBs

ty for your response. There has to be something in the search. As for if I were to hit it, that is a different story.

I have ideas on how any winnings. A portion of winnings would go to stock market. Give to my mom, help my handicapped brother out, who knows

So. In other words let's say I or anyone hit three and one on mega millions and that's $200 and I think three and one on the Powerball is $100 . why does it have to be that way?

If you had just the extra ball you get two dollars or four dollars which I guess that sounds OK.

I think mega millions is $10 for two and one in powerball, it's crazy
