It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
How do you figures they took a loss when even when a jackpot is hit the lottery keeps about 50% of what comes in? That also includes keeping 50% of what came in while paying out previous jackpots not to mention what came in when paying no jackpots.

Historically, albeit rarely, MM would occasionally approach pre-tax expectation values of greater than 1.0. This is sure to never happen with the $5 ticket. It's entirely possible that the current format could reach 1.0 before taxes. In fact, it's even more likely thanks to the $5 ticket price, and 4 of the top 5 MM jackpots show that it's possible. The five biggest MM jackpots all exceeded a pre-tax 1.0 expectation value (about $605 million cash), with cash values of $877.8 million, $7

MM increased $15M, up to $346M. PB is $172M. CDanaT before you tell us the MM is 'Measly' compare the MM and PB jackpots and consider taking a remedial math course. Good Luck in whatever you do play.
