Powerball Powerplay 10XReply
The 10X multiplier is only in play when the advertised jackpot annuity is $150 million or less . There are a total of 43 Balls (when the 10X multiplier is available) but the majority of them are 2X. There are couple of 3X's, 4X's and 5X's and one 10X when the jackpot is 150 million or less. Right now, 10X is unavailable. Also the second place prize with The PowerPlay option is a set prize of two million, it makes no difference what the actual PowerPlay number is if you match the 5 white bal

$1.55 BILLION: Powerball continues historic jackpot climbReply
Well well well... I knew there wasn't gonna be a winner last night when I didn't feel like eating my deviled ham, onion, yellow mustard on wonder bread sandwich. Boy, I'm getting powerball fatigue. I usually buy one ticket w/ powerplay for every 100 million on the annuity but $$$ lost are adding up so I might base my buying formula next time on the cash value instead. PU who brought the olive loaf?

$1.2 BILLION: Powerball jackpot is 3rd-largest in game historyReply
Last time the powerball was 1.2 billion on a Wednesday 11/2/22 ... That one went from 800 (bumped to 825) to 1 billion. Not quite a year later instead of an increase of 200 million we got an increase of 110, from 850 to 960, and the higher annuity to cash ratio is inflating the advertised prize by about 6% relative to that run. The cash value for tonight's drawing was estimated at 551,700,000 and the actual is 548,000,000. That would mean they beat the 1.2 billion advertised jackpo

$1.04 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againReply
It is rigged but not in the way you think. The odds of winning either jackpot in round numbers are 300,000,000 to 1. That is roughly one ticket per every American. Think of it that way. The lotteries like it that way because as the jackpots grow, that is more money for the states coffers, which is why states allow them in the first place. Lastly, the larger the jackpot the greater reward for the state in which the winner is. California has a 12.3% income tax rate over $1,000,000 so if th

Florida winner of $1.6 billion Mega Millions jackpot steps forward to claim prizeReply
I'm confused. The news article above says that the Florida Lottery did not reveal whether or not the winner chose the lump sum cash option or the annuity. Yet their website has a Jackpot Winners and Retailer Information Report on it showing the winner took the cash option. Here's a link to it. https://www.flalottery.com/exptkt/MegaMillions_Jackpot_Retailer_Info.pdf What's up with that? In addition to claiming anonymously I hope they hired a lawyer to claim it for them via a trust or

Did Michigan just lower their cash payouts?
Michigan, which was recently listed as one of the bottom states for payout percentages, seems to have lowered their cash payouts on the annuitys. Awhile ago they paid $654,266 cash on a million annuity. Then it went down to $634,517. It was upped a year or two ago to $693542 but according to this posting- https://milotteryconnect.com/2023/07/31/traverse-city-woman-wins-1-million-playing-michigan-lotterys-diamond-wild-time-instant-game/ -it appears that it has been set back to $634,517..
