Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
9 out of 36 Fast Games show a progressive jackpot. And for whatever reason, the jackpot estimate shows up now when I visited the arizonalottery.com website. Go figure. My main points were Anti-buyout rules make more sense for Pick6 and Fantasy5, where the player picks the numbers and so can guarantee a buyout of all possibilities. Currently, AZ has no such anti-buyout rules for Pick6 and Fantasy5. So, AZ is highly inconsistent with their anti-buyout rules. They should have rolled out an

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
Man, I could write a book on this one. So I'll keep it brief... How do you expect the prize pool to grow faster when you're adding 20% more players ??? (Not really- see next item.) UK players will reject this based on the ticket cost and taxable (US portion) jackpots. This is just a test market to see if Powerball can sell a $5+ ticket ( 4= $5.44 US). Why in your own back yard when you can do it in someone else's? MegaMillions is paying the price of greed and Powerball is next.

New Hampshire Lottery launches $30 scratch-off ticket offering record $3 million top prizeReply
Well put ..... For thirty dollars I can buy 10 to 15 powerball tickets for a cash value of 9 mil or six tickets of megamillions for a cash value of around 22 mil. Of course, it's a lot harder to win than the scratcher but that's another thing. Have a shaggy day! ShagE3 PS On another topic, tho lottery related .... What's with Ark and Del twice winning multistate mega lottery jackpots as of recent memory?

Winner of $877,800 Idaho Cash jackpot is infamous bulk buyerReply
When you buy a ticket for a progressive jackpot game, you have no right to receive a refund of the progressive jackpot contribution. Anyone who expects to get their lost money back should never play this game. The entire point of the game is that your ticket price includes a contribution to the jackpot which will go to the winner. Whether it's your neighbor or an out-of-state visitor is irrelevant. If the state lottery doesn't want someone to win a progressive jackpot who didn't buy any

Arkansas lottery winner of $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot comes forwardReply
Congrats to the lucky winner. You know I've been thinking lately ..... in your estimation considering all factors: MM $5 .... Tues/Fri vs PB $2 to $3 .... Mon Wed Sat how much of a lead in jackpot would MM need for PB NOT to eventually match and surpass that jackpot and go on to a mega like Castro/Cal? I know I am not making my thoughts clear so let me put it this way: last night PB was 209 mil ..... and Fridays MM is 266 mil. For arguments sake let's say no one won pb last night .... an

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
I would like to make special mention of the #24 jackpot on the annuity list, since it is close to falling off the list. Long-timers here may remember what an incredible watershed time that was, when Mega Millions hit $656 million. By the afternoon of the drawing, the jackpot was bumped up to $640 million. Check out the level of excitement in the story and comments: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/244310 By draw time, when the final sales were calculated, the jackpot settled at $65

$1.1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot increased in longest-ever winless streakReply
When you look at the top 11 jackpots on the list, it looks like it's taking more rolls for this current jackpot to grow. Any expert on the subject? Is it the federal rates or something like that? Either way, I would still be happy to win it regardless of the number of rolls. I would even forget what roll it's at

Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply
1-MM should bring the price back down to $1. You want wide public participation in this type of game to pump the jackpot up. 2-most of lottery players are low-income people. 3-play the game three times / week like PB has done (T-R-Sun). 4-$1 price wouldn't make people to think twice about spending money to play the 1:292M odds (I'll try my luck with chump changes). 5-take 45% cut of the jackpot instead of 60% (return some of the money back to those initial jackpots).
