sums de patternsReply
Here's the top pattern that hits in the rolling cash five. The pattern is 23345 and it's hit 74 times in 2293 draws. The best time to play it is when those four counts add up to 33 or 34 total numbers used. It hits 25 and 20% of the time. 60 of those patterns were a sum total of 70 to 127. There are many other filters I can use to increase the percentages. Gaps...1 Gap of 10 or , Gaps 6.....Specific counts. For example: if 1 counts are at 6 and the rest aren't filtered. How many hits were there.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Looks like you were right! The jackpot has experienced an increase to $980 million/$452.2 million. It also looks like it'll go to $1.05 billion/$485.2 million if it rolls over tonight.

I just now played Mega Millions. So, yes. I'm sure someone else has pointed this out, but I researched and discovered that Mega Millions profits are up since the change. The MM folks are not stupid. They knew that they would lose some folks but that those losses would be more than offset by the price increase and they were right.

I am not inclined for a $60M increase on the next rollover. Still not at the magic cash number for this participant. Good luck to all that are participating in the Tuesday draw.

KYF, Thanks for the break down with needing generated sales and percentages. I haven't considered those particular aspects on the new $5 price tag. My contention is that this run is already at the 40/41 rollover point because of the $50M starting point as opposed to $20M. They eliminated 2 draws and some change by doing so. They also have eliminated the frenzy point(IMHO) that has been a fairly consistent aspect of both the PB and MM games. While the last increase is $57M, I have a suspicion

I think it is normal that the jackpot explosion occurs at larger jackpot levels given the price increase to $5. What will be interesting to see is how explosive will be explosion be, once it happens (in other words will jackpot rolls be VERY large or not really .....)

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot has increased by $46 million to $800 million after 36 consecutive rolls and is the largest Mega Millions jackpot since December 2024. This is the largest jackpot increase since the launch of the new format. There is a 4.2% chance the jackpot will be won in the November 4 draw with projected sales of $62.9 million. This ties the record for the highest number of consecutive rolls at 36.

MM expected to reach $1 Billion in the next 3 draws. Approximate next projected increase would be around $66 Million.

That is exactly what I was thinking would happen. I suspected that although people are upset about the price increase for Mega Millions tickets, if the jackpot reaches $1 Billion, almost every lottery player will buy at least one MM ticket. If that happens, Mega Millions will make enough of a profit (at least comparable to previous years) that not only will MM keep selling tickets at $5 price, but honestly, I actually think Powerball will eventually follow suit. I stopped playing Mega Millions a

Any guesses to the next roll over will be ? With the last increase at $30 Million, will that new milestone remain ?? My guess is a big no and the increases will head back into the mid/upper $20's. Good luck to all of us on the next lottery purchase.
