UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
Have a budget like a lot of you, so I will postpone buying until the jackpot reaches $1,000,000,000 minimum. If you think about it, most people do something like this which is why the when the jackpot is at $20 million they sell $25 to $35 million in tickets but when it reaches $1 billion they sell $100 million to $700 million.

Do you think they are copying other lottery games in other countries? Lotto Max is $5 in Canada. The odds of winning the jackpot is 1 in 33,294,800. It's not taxed like in America.

Ironically we still can't buy tickets online in every state like other countries can. They can remain anonymous. But they want to make it international? Europe has Euro

Alabama Lottery bill falls short by one voteReply
We are deeply disappointed that the people of Alabama will, once again, be denied the right to vote on this important issue, the statement reads. ...Inevitably, people will continue to spend money on the lottery and other types of gaming in adjoining states and, sadly, Alabama will miss out on that sorely needed revenue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feel sorry for all of those Alabamans that

Lottery ticket sold in Illinois wins $560 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
Great points taken. Didn't quite understand about different noises that machines make then say that thermal printers are silent. My home state was the last (MA) to get rid of noisy, dot matrix printers. Not sure where the machine that printed that $787 or so million dollar ticket from near W. MA went, but she was making tghe rounds years ago. I agree with you on CA lottery and Todd reminded me of their law for pari-mutuel payouts. Had sent an email vs regular mail months ago asking them to g

or the lump-sum estimated cash value of $264 million Based on reported sales that seems unlikely to be an accurate estimate. The first worksheet on the TX lottery website reported sales of $43 million and a cash value increase of $17.6 million to $258.4 million. The next worksheet forecast sales about 7% higher, which would fund an increase of $18.8 million, to $259.6. The website that can't be named reports sales of $46.44 million which would make it $259.8 million. This was yet another ja
