Lottery sales for the big national games are down. This is probably the main reason the Mega Millions game was recently changed. Even on my worst days I'm not nearly stupid enough to think they wouldn't have tried messing with the game even if sales were still what they were 3 to 5 years ago, but the change was definitely an attempt to increase sales. So far the sales per drawing have been consistently higher than shortly before the change for the jackpots values we've seen, and sales f

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
Kind of strange here that Fast Play is listed for on line games...yet you can't purchase them apparently unless @ the store. Many different games listed with different jackpots. At the lottery machine on the ever so slow to get displayed jackpot screen Fast Play does show the largest jackpot from what I can gather. (KY).

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
AZ has no rules to prevent a buyout of the Pick6 or Fantasy5 AZ lotteries, where the jackpot estimate is published. Only a few Fast Play games have progressive jackpots, and in those games, the jackpots aren't published (at least, they don't show up on the arizonalottery.com website) , and play numbers/symbols are machine chosen and not player chosen. Since Fast Play buyouts only make sense when the jackpot estimate is known, and when the number of tickets purchased give a high enough e

Seems odd to me. Odds where dropped a smige. Ticket price has almost tripled. Less people are playing. And lower jackpots are being won. ......

I was thinking the same thing this morning as I was checking numbers. @ Bigger faster jackpots. They should have just kept the same price point. And added a Thursday draw. To me the jackpot seems to be moving at a snails pace.

The bigger jackpots aren't happening as advertised with the $5. They've been won 112M and 348M since the change. In 2024 they were won at 1.1B 552M 800M 1.3B Not only are they being won as far smaller jackpots than before they also seem slower.

New Jersey resident says no thanks to road rage, wins $600,000 lottery prize insteadReply
I don't want the PB or MM jackpots so I stick to my beloved Cash 5 and state lotto dividing an equal amount into both. I think you should go a little deeper than 3 PB plays a week. That matrix though is discouraging to do more than double your play there. Most cash 5 games are daily now so on the days there is no PB you want to have something going.

The cash value of the Mega Millions jackpot is $155.5 million. The jackpot joins the list of the top 100 US lottery jackpots in position 97. It is slowly making its way to number 1.
