One Georgia ticket wins $983 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
Why do you have to make those stupid comments about disgusting sandwiches all the time? TBI? do you get a check for a specific amount like $453,609,211.74 or do they round it off Even if the prize is only one million it doesn't matter if you don't get the last 89 cents, but the official rules specify the percentage of revenue to goes toward the jackpot prize pool. Unless there's a specific rule stating that actual payment will be to the nearest dollar or rounded down to a whole dol

Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
It would also grant the Lottery the ability to deny a claim for a winning lottery or sports wager ticket if it was found to have been purchased in relation to a bulk transaction. I don't agree with this. It's the lottery's job to shut down so-called bulk ticket retailers, not collect all this money and then deny payment. That's what Texas tried to do to a winner and she had to sue them to collect. If they want to make their lottery unattractive to bulk ticket purchasers when the jackpot

Data breach at lottery tech vendor Brightstar exposes personal info of over 100,000 individualsReply
Mega Millions Price hike : In April 2025, the price of a Mega Millions ticket more than doubled, increasing from $2 to $5. This price jump was not well-received by many customers, leading them to stop playing. While the overall dollar intake and lottery profits have increased in some areas, the number of tickets sold has dropped significantly. The sharp downward trend, according to Mass Lottery Executive Director Mark William Bracken, can be traced directly to the size or rather the lack th

Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
I live in Montana and I feel that everyone playing should have an equal chance of winning. With bulk buying, when the buying of all number combinations guarantees a win and a profit after tax, I can't imagine that anyone thinks that is fair. It may be a smart move on the part of mega rich organizations to do this, but for the average person it is not a level playing field. I started thinking about this a long time ago as something that would happen but it took retailers to have multiple

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
Maybe another billion is coming! There roughly a 1 in 3 chance it will roll past $1 billion (to perhaps $1.1 billion). Oopsie. I realized a while after posting that 1 in 3 seemed way too low with the advertised jackpot already at $815 million. I had updated some older info and accidentally included probabilities for two drawings that already rolled. The PB worksheet on the Texas lottery website is estimating coverage of combinations for the next five drawings as (starting with tomo
