2026 tax rates now published at USA MegaReply
I truly feel lucky to live in a state that does not tax the lottery. The difference in the finally amount with big jackpots runs into the millions of dollars. Actually the tax difference feels like a jackpot win. The recent 1.8 billion Powerball jackpot, the difference for a winner from New York and one from those that don't tax the lottery is a whooping 91 million dollars plus change.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
This is a statistic I do not normally track so it is hard to say if it is a record but it certainly appears to be. Since July 9, 2025 (over 6 months ago), either Powerball or Mega Millions had a jackpot of at least $217 million. The Powerball jackpot was $217 million on July 9 and it rose to $1.79 billion and was won. Then Mega millions took over with a jackpot of $358 million and it rose to $983 million. Then Powerball took over with a jackpot of $516 million and it rose to $1.8 billion an

Answer Me This...Reply
Except FF5's awarded jackpot's collapsed immediately after the addition of the midday drawing In that case maybe it's a mystery. When PB went to 3 drawings sales for Wednesday and Saturday went down a bit but the Monday sales more than make up for the loss. I suppose the extra ticket might be a reason some drop out altogether, but I'd think still playing twice a week would be the popular choice. Something I feel very sure of is that all lotteries care about losing customers, at least to

my idea for a multi-state lotteryReply
My idea is to have a game that costs $1.00. The buy 5, get one free is similar to promotions that lotteries run, but make this a permanent part of the game. For those who don't mind spending $5 on a progressive draw game, they get an extra chance to win. $20 million isn't as much as hundreds of millions, but it's still life-changing. It's about the same as MM starting jackpot but without the absurdly low chances of winning. 1 in 18 million instead of 1 in 300 million. More frequent winners i

People think gambling is risky.Reply
I like numbers find their correlation to each other very, very interesting. Consequently, I play my state's lottery system. I'm not too interested in multi state lottery systems. I think sending hundreds of millions of dollars to 1 person is ridiculous will not participate (especially since I play in MD, and believe the lottery system determine where large jackpots go). I put my lottery budget on my Cash App card, limit myself to $50 per week, yes I have gone over I have won!

sums de patternsReply
By the way, my system gives me 1 to 5 numbers for each columns, and then I use 3 additional filters to get it down to 2 to 3 numbers for each column in a Pick 6 game. And I'm averaging 2 to 3 numbers right most of the time. Im due for a breakthrough any moment now to start hitting 4 to 5 numbers right, and the big bucks will start to roll in. I dont think about hitting jackpots right now. My focus is on the lowered tier prizes and keep building my game up. And when I filter my numbers, it's

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYUC3cotVHA Too many articles that list the 70/30 on behalf of the QP 70% winners of jackpots are quick pick numbers. 30% are chosen numbers. Buy 2 tickets. 1 with a QP and 1 chosen. See how that works out

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Of course players want bigger non-jackpot prizes and bigger and faster growing jackpots, but that's not free. $5 is too much for this type of game. People also want $2,000 cars and $25,000 houses, but that's not going to happen either. Money doesn't grow on trees. People will not pay vastly more for a better version of what was a bad deal to begin with.
