Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
We have our pool tickets for tomorrow's draw. One ticket has a 4 times multiplier. I hope that is the lucky ticket. Good luck to everyone that is playing.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I am thankful we have no state income tax. But we do have sales tax that does allow each county to charge a certain max figure. So with the state tax and the county tax, the total due is 9.75%.... Groceries are at 6.25% * BTW Montana does the same as Idaho. Mandatory $3 for the PB with the forced purchase of the multiplier. Just talked with a friend who's out vacationing in the big sky country yesterday. I suggested he buy some PB tickets. He did grab a few and said each one is the minimal $3

Mega Millions constant $10 million increasesReply
I did the math. A $2 prize (times whatever multiplier, so $4 to $20) for matching two white balls would add 18% to the value of all non-jackpot prizes in total. That's a lot for such a small win. The purpose of a lottery with huge prizes is to award large amounts to a few people. Spreading wins out to a large number of bets is more like a penny slot machine. If it were up to me, I would delete the small prizes of =$10 and funnel that money into the higher prizes up to 2nd prize.

After the price increase I chose one line of my regular numbers to keep playing, and I get a ticket for 10 draws (5 weeks) which is as many draws as my state allows. I won something on my first ticket but I don't remember what. I just cashed my 2nd ticket and got $36. Not too bad for a $50 ticket. My new ticket is 4X and I'd be perfectly happy with the million dollar prize with that multiplier. I won $200 on Lucky for Life last night and I'm trying to decide how to allocate it. I've decided

Naaaah... What you very likely saw was computer generated graphics splashed up on your TV screen by a TV station, not the actual computer running RNG software that spit out the PowerPlay multiplier or whatever online game they were televising. I can see that video now... Good evening lottery fans. LIVE from a server rack located on The Florida Lottery's raised floor in Tallahassee you're looking at an IBM Power10 PC running Linux 7.0.12 which just spit out tonights PowerPlay multiple

This thread is anti-MM and has been from the very beginning. The first post reads: I've stopped playing Mega Millions completely. The automagic multiplier does not impress. The odds are a mess. I'll play the others for less.

Balancing Odds and Cost 😁Reply
For the value, PB at $4 for my 1 ticket is better because you get to add the multiplier and the double play as opt in add ons, not forced. Even for a week... $10 for MM, one line, one draw, two drawings $12 for PB , one line, two draws, three drawings $35 for M4L, one line, one draw, seven drawings I am sticking with the PB. I did like the old cash 4 life at $2, could care less about the M4L, I don't even bother tracking the history.

Thanks for the LFL reminder - my sleep issues have left me kind of groggy today and I was only thinking about PB MM for 2025-2026. I have not played LFL for over six and a half years. Back then my Cubicle Neighbor and I used to pair up on that game along with PB MM. After thinking about it, while I am getting the LFL ticket tomorrow I may as well get a Rolling Cash 5 ticket too as it is up to 140K after starting at 100K. I think you are so right, it would be great to end 2025 as a milli

I am going with the prediction of no rollover for the drawing tonight. Why? Because of the one MM ticket that I got for my birthday...! What could possibly go wrong with that other than the multiplier was a 2X that does not count toward the jackpot...? Kate: Please feel free to get a jump on this one and begin preparing a really nice winners story about a Lottery Post user achieving victory over Mega Millions. Best wishes and good luck to everyone else for the second place priz
