Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Ok, we went back to look the year before ($2/$3 per Play) and the year after ($5 per Play). Also, we updated the MM History on our site so anyone can see/copy the data and analyze for themselves. It appears lottery players don't have an endless sea of cash to play these ridiculous, over priced $5 games and it shows. To get the number of Plays for the previous $2/$3 cost, we need to set a properly proportioned play price based on the average percentage ratio between $2 at 82% and $3 a

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by the minimum $10 million to $110 million after 6 rolls. There is an estimated 1.4% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw. The jackpot is underfunded from sales by about $22.5 million. In the previous Mega Millions run, the jackpot went from $100 million to $125 million and set a new roll record. New roll records were then set for the next several draws. As pointed out by KY Floyd, sales are lower for this run then the previous tw

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Thanks. Nice to know info. I haven't yet exhausted my lottery budget for March, so I was thinking that I'd buy one more ticket on Tuesday just so I could gage how ticket sales have been going. But maybe not now! 20 bucks a pop is kinda pricey just to get a handle on how ticket sales are going. G5

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
Interesting, someone else not too long ago posted that ticket sales were less but revenue was up because of the increase in the ticket price.

Colorado bill would ban credit card lottery ticket purchases and online salesReply
The only reason a state would ban online lottery sales is to protect convenience stores. Those huge chain stores have equally large political lobbying efforts, and now you know why online sales get banned. All the reasons the politicians state are the best fiction they can come up with. The real reason is money and power. (This is also why the carve-out for courier services is OK with them. It doesn't harm their political supporters, because the couriers buy from physical stores.)

Colorado bill would ban credit card lottery ticket purchases and online salesReply
banning credit card sales is good, nobody should be gambling with money they don't have. but what's their issue with online sales? as long as a player has enough money in their checking account to make a debit card purchase, it's up to the player how they spend their own money.

Answer Me This...Reply
Sure. It's definitely possible that The Florida Lottery changed the percentage of net sales allocated to the winners prize pool. (50%) They could have even changed the percentage of the winners prize pool allocated to the top prize. (62%) But that's not what they did or what happened at all. From reading Fantasy5's Official Rules I didn't see any percentages that changed when the midday drawing was added. It's also true that net sales for FF5 could be down in general these days due to player
