Here is a good example of how beneficial syndicate play can be. Using the recent huge Mega Millions jackpot, say there are 100 people in a syndicate, each paying $20 each. In total, the syndicate has $2,000, enough to buy 1,000 Mega Millions tickets. This results in odds of approximately 1 in 300,000 of each person in the syndicate winning $7.8 million. There is no game on earth where an individual can spend $20 on their own and have odds of 1 in 300,000 of winning that much money.

Which is better next, a human handicapper or a chatght i.a machine in predicting lotteries?Reply
The sad part is when it comes to the Powerball and Mega Millions, its all about the number of combinations that have not sold. The jackpot gets bigger and bigger until all the possible winning combinations are sold. Mega Millions, all 302,575,350 unique winning combinations must be sold. Powerball, all 292,201,338 unique winning combinations must be sold. Until that happens, the jackpot will get bigger and bigger. This is why I quit playing both games. The odds are not worth it.

The $29.95 Non-BelieverzReply
There's something in the water in Massachusetts, where a lottery player won a $31 million Mega Millions jackpot just one week after another player in the state won a jackpot of the same value. On Tuesday, Jan. 24, one ticket won the $31 million jackpot in the multi-state Mega Millions game with the winning numbers 33, 41, 47, 50, 62, and Mega Ball 20. On the following Tuesday, Jan. 31, yet another Massachusetts player was the only ticketholder in the country to do the same. The winning numbe

Quickpicks Powerball: Lottery Post vs TerminalReply
Interesting idea. I don't buy enough tickets to do that study. Another thing I wonder about is have there been Power Ball or Mega Millions winner of jackpots from vending machines, and have any won huge jackpots (say, over $100 million) with a vending machine ticket? I don't think this is something you tested but if you have seen any threads/messages about this topic, can you post a link? On July 29, 2022, my daughter-in-law sold a Mega Millions 5-out-of-5 winning ticket in the supermark

2024 tax rates now published at USA Mega
Both the federal tax rate brackets and the state income tax rates used for the Powerball Jackpot Analysis and Mega Millions Jackpot Analysis pages at USA Mega have been updated to the latest 2024 rates. Federal tax bracket changes happen every year, with the IRS adjusting each bracket upwards slightly to account for inflation. For a lottery jackpot winner claiming millions in income this results in a minuscule change in taxes paid, but the adjustment at USA Mega does make it exact. For s

Poll: Classic Mega MillionsReply
paid only $250,000 That is correct it PAID! Are you experiencing a shortage of large money jackpot building games in Michigan and need another? We are experiencing a shortage of large winners like we had with the old game. Many people on here complain about $2 tickets and complain about nobody winning anything and they also complain that they want smaller jackpots and more winners. We had that with the old Mega Millions. From 2009 until the old version ended on 10/18/2013 t

Maybe we are making a mistake in predicting random lotteries as a whole, let's divide it into 4 partReply
With regards to the Quick Pick option, I was referring the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpot games of those who win those games. Regarding the Pick-3 games, I know most folks use the QP option as they don't want to go through the trouble of picking the number themselves. For those who seriously play Pick-3 or Pick-4 games, they do pick their own numbers. The majority of Pick-3 and Pick-4 lotto players play the game for fun.

the odds on buying one ticket and winning are 1 in 302.5 million for the mega millions and 1 in 292.2 million, hence the reason players and groups buy multiple tickets. They are many things that folks would be surprised have better odds than these.
