Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I think they're underestimating the sales tonight and they're going to be closer to matching saturdays sales of 230 It looks like you nailed it after all, and for the first time in a long time sales for a Monday weren't significantly smaller than for the previous Saturday. The final jackpot is reported as $1.201 billion, which is very close to $230 million in sales. Not that it wasn't already obvious that 1.3 billion was conservative for Wednesday, but since we're now starting about $10

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
If a free ticket does not contribute to the jackpot, it is worth 35 cents. This is the expected value of winning $4, $7, $100, $50,000, $1 million, or $9 million. $9 million is the cash value (with today's interest rates) of the starting jackpot of 20 million . Of course, the actual value of a ticket is more than 35 cents if the jackpot is more than $20 million annuity, but anything extra is player money. The cost to Powerball would be just the 35 cents. With five lines and all 25+5 numbers

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Sounds like your pool is hitting, but just not the big numbers yet. Just out of curiosity, and *only* if you wish to say, how many folks are playing in your pool(s) now and what kind of money are you playing with each draw now? Again, only if you wish to say. I am still in savings mode while waiting for the rollovers to make a really big cash value amount before I commit to a big purchase (or be committed!) . As of the week ending yesterday 07/26/2025 I have 86 draws skipped and $321.00 save

how long would you wait to claim a powerball jackpot?Reply
There is a small handful that never claim it because they either lost the ticket, threw it out because they didn't check it properly, or put it somewhere to check later and forgot they had it. Think glove box, car console, kitchen junk drawer etc. Current unclaimed PB tickets. https://www.powerball.net/unclaimed-prizes Current unclaimed MM tickets. https://www.lottery.net/mega-millions/unclaimed-prizes Here are some of the most famous unclaimed lottery jackpots in history: $1

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Yeah, well whatever. I can see the numbers, as can anyone who bothers to look intelligently . If one is unintelligent, that's another matter. It is something called a fact that the $5 version of Megamillions ran for 40 draws without producing a billion dollar (annuity) jackpot. It is also a fact that the pretax expectation value has never gone beyond 0.5, something Powerball, as well as the $2.00 MM did a number of times. If one looks at expectation values, it's immediately obvious to anyone

Good new on the MEASLY MILLIONS front... The cash value ticked up a projected $100K for Friday 5/22/26. Perhaps it's a sign of Bigger, Faster jackpots that the participants were advised of. Good luck to all that are players of this game.

Lucky For Life to Millionaire For Life - $5 TicketReply
For me ... I play lucky 4 life maybe twice a week (like it was mon Thur originally) when pb and or mm are below the 250 million threshold for me to jump into those games . Now with the merged millionaire 4 life and the three dollar increase in price .... I'll still play but only once per week. I look forward to the new game but I'm not going gaga over it. What will the matrix look like? Will it still be a twenty year annuity? Will there be a cash option? All questions to
