One Georgia ticket wins $983 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
Well there is your strategy if you play... put $5 in an envelope or jar for every drawing and on the 40th draw take it to the store and buy your 40 tickets. If in the rare instance it is won before 40 drawings you will just get to buy more tickets at 40 draws on the next run.

Lottery Post's guide to 2025 holiday raffles across the USAReply
True, but not really a holiday raffle game. (Which is why it's not in this story.) The drawing for Super Raffle 2025 is November 19. There are currently just over 162,000 tickets remaining.

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
According to the New York Lottery's annual plan, the game will be introduced there when it is released. If it is, I may consider playing it on occasion, and definitely for the first drawing. The odds are only slightly worse than the current Cash 4 Life game, the price is 2.5 times more expensive, and the jackpot is around 3 times bigger, so I'd say it's worth a shot.

$1.3 million Jersey Cash 5 lottery jackpot unclaimed for almost a yearReply
So true.. I still think about the New Jersey 1.3 Billion dollar Mega Millions ticket for the March 26, 2024 drawing, that went unclaimed and expired on March 27, 2025. All to often people purchase lottery tickets then throw them in the glove box of their car or a shoe box in their home and forget all about the ticket until it is too late.

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
what Ai is saying is they can't stop it from Climbing but they can Slow it down so second chance win more makes sense. My intelligence isn't artificial, so I've got a somewhat different take, partly because I don't have as many hallucinations. Back when the annuity record was about $300 million PB introduced a cap that would limit jackpot increases to $25 million, with any excess augmenting the second place prize, until a new record was set. I don't remember how long it lasted, but it wasn'

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
Of course the system would not know if you picked the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6. You definitely would not get much money if by some miracle the numbers hit because about 10K people a day play 1-2-3-4-5-6. This reminds me of the TV show Lost. When the fans of that show played Hurley's lottery numbers of 4-8-15-16-23-42 in the ($355M) Mega Millions drawing in 2011 and hit 4 out of the 6 numbers and 26K people won $150.
