$1.1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot increased in longest-ever winless streakReply
Wow, $1.1 billion is insane! It s crazy to think that no one has hit the jackpot for 42 drawings straight talk about patience (or luck) paying off eventually. I always wonder whether I d go for the annuity or just grab the lump sum half a billion in cash would already change your life overnight. Also interesting how close the smaller prizes can still be life changing for some folks, especially with Power Play doubling them. Definitely makes me want to double check my ticket before the next drawi

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
I don't know all the details hence the I'm looking forward to the details because I might just do Power Ball and this new game with rare plays on others. We will see line in my original post on this thread. The 500k is ok because, using past inflation figures, that would be 100k in 30 years if I am around then. That is another reason I don't like Mega Millions because who wants the annuity payments adjusted for inflation if you are over 45 years old? I would rather have a flat a

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
l asked my Ai very important question Good morning l have a good question. The Powerball jackpot is now $1,700,000,000 nobody won last night. So what will happen if the jackpot grows out of control to $5,000,000,000 curious Good morning! That's an excellent and fascinating question. The idea of a $5 billion Powerball jackpot is mind-boggling and pushes the limits of the lottery system itself. Here s a breakdown of what would likely happen if the jackpot grew to such an astronomical

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
I'd like to see this posted when the cash/annuity are both in the Top 25. Article is premature in my opinion. The cash amount is underwhelming. I won't be playing this Saturday. But good luck to all who are .

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
I haven't paid any attention to this game nut I just saw it on the NY lottery's home page for the first time. Obviously everybody gets to decide whether or not they want to play, but here are a couple of thoughts. The first is largely about playing this or playing PB (or MM) when the jackpot is still small. Generally, at least 8 to 10 million people (5 to 7 isn't unusual for Monday drawings) spend $2 when the annuity is $20 to $30 million (even if you die before the drawing) and the cash val

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
In the UK the game is different 1) The ticket will cost 4 pounds or $5.00 at today's exchange rate 2) If you get (2) of the white ball numbers you get 8 pounds or $10.00 3) if you win the jackpot you can't get the cash option only the annuity (You can sell that annuity to an insurance company for NPV (Net Present Value) in a heartbeat. ) 4) In the US - lottery sales are $100 billion a year but only $10 billion in the UK. 5) US Powerball ticket prices in the UK will be the mos

$1.25 BILLION: Epic Powerball winless streak marches onReply
Interesting that cash and annuity are both #11 at the moment. The annuity will almost certainly move up to at least the #10 spot and has a reasonable chance to move up as high as #7. There's a good chance for the cash value to move up one spot, but pretty much zero chance of moving up to #9. What percentage of possible ticket combinations will be sold for Wednesday s draw? Their first forecast is for 23.2% but it's going to be higher than that. I don't know if they'd bump the jackpot to

New Hampshire Lottery launches $30 scratch-off ticket offering record $3 million top prizeReply
The $3 million top prize can be claimed as an annuity paid out over 30 years, but players may opt to claim it as a $1.75 million cash option before taxes. So then it's not $3 million. It's $1.75 million.

$1.5 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot fuels rush for ticketsReply
I hope it actually gets to $3 Billion so when I or someone hit it we can literally see someone walk away as a billionaire after cash option and taxes. It's not impossible, but it's going to take a lot more than $3 billion for that to happen unless interest rates go way down. Even if interest rates go way down it will still take the same amount of cash, and the same number of tickets without producing a winner sooner. With the current interest rate you'd net about 29% of the annuity value af
