Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
https://lite.cnn.com/2025/12/13/business/powerball-billion-dollar-jackpot-mega-millions Sounds to me like the author doesn't know much about how lotteries work or appreciate that the results of just 3 or 4 jackpot runs may not be representative. The headline screams that he's missing the clue that even if PB sales were up (they're not) due to MM's price increase it's still probability that results in billion jackpots. The average PB jackpot should have a cash value of about $195 million

Lets face it, you know Mega Millions is now increasing their revenue with the jackpot at $800 million, For the same advertised jackpot MM's revenue per drawing at $5 per ticket dropped below the revenue per drawing at $2 per ticket a few drawings back. Revenue for Saturday's $800 million jackpot was a hair under 70% of the revenue for the last $800 million jackpot in August '24. Total revenue since the price increase is about 1% more than for the same time period in 2024, while revenue

The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $34 million to $576 million after 31 rolls. There is an estimated 2.7% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw whereas it is double at 5.4% for Powerball. This is the largest jackpot increase in the current Mega Millions run for two draws in a row. In both cases, it was mainly to an increase in interest rates. This is the second largest Mega Millions jackpot since the launch of the revised game but well behind first place at over $

Tell that to the Millions that lost $5 as opposed to the 6 jackpots that have been won since the 150% price increase beginning on 4-08-2025. https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Games/Mega_Millions/Estimated_Jackpot.html As Rcbbuckeye has in his signature, JUST LOOK AT THE ODDS OF ANY JACKPOT GAME, THAT WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW If the new price tag is such a great deal why is it taking 40 draws to reach $980 Million ?

The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $10 million to $395 million after 21 rolls. The small increase was due to a dramatic decrease in interest rates. This sets a new 21 roll record for the current format of the game; an increase of $14 million over the previous record. The overall Mega Millions 21 roll record is $685 million. The 21 roll record for Powerball is slightly larger at $687.8 million. There is an estimated 2.2% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw. The M

The Mega Millions jackpot was won at $90 million and has reset to $50 million. The jackpot was supported by sales by about $69 million. The run that just ended was experiencing an increase in sales most likely due to the recent $983 million jackpot. The next run will probably have decreased sales which may result in the jackpot reaching at least $150 million before it experiencing a jackpot increase of more than the minimum $10 million. It is funny how probabilities are sometimes perceived.
