Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Since you posted this I looked up a literal ton of news articles about MM since it went to $5. Not one article mentioned anything about anyone playing any lottery game having someone pointing a gun at them and demanding that they play MM.

Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply
Yes there is and I have written about such a method many times here on lottery post. The method produces 4 digits 1 of which will show up in the next game usually better than 70 percent of the time. I figure most have found it and have also seen how difficult it is to get to that 1 single digit. Then you have about about 56 choices to make from according to BobP. Look at his web site Lotto Logix and look for the pick one number article.

Very interesting articleReply
This is a very interesting article that takes a very deep look at probability. You'll have to read it for yourself and see what you get out of it, the author is emeritus professor of statistics at Cambridge. He is the author of The Art of Uncertainty and How to Navigate Chance, Ignorance, Risk and Luck (Penguin, 2024). My comment, does this wave good bye to a lot of lottery systems and theories?

Correct as you can see in the original story about Castro claiming the prize, he got $628.5 million after taxes. (Link to that story is also included in the article above.)

$1.1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot increased in longest-ever winless streakReply
Correct, that's how lotteries work. It's linked in the article, but this video may be a good refresher on how lottery jackpots are calculated.

PowerballReply
Interestingly, the FL limit for advance play on PB is 52 drawings No it's not. I'm looking at a current Florida PB bet/play slip and the highest number in the advance drawings check boxes is 39. It looks like this == 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 15 20 25 30 35 39. I suppose it's possible for a player to tell the clerk they want to play 13 advance draws, and the clerk could possibly manually enter that amount of drawings in the terminal. Anyway I don't care about the circumstances surrounding how that $39

Three $1 million winning Powerball lottery tickets sold at the same New York storeReply
Very true but the question I have is did they buy three separate tickets using the same betslip for each purchase, or did they purchase three lines on one ticket using one betslip? As for me, I use one betslip to play five identical lines of five numbers on one PB ticket, with a different PB on each line. I also add the Powerplay option. The article states There were three winning Powerball tickets for the second-tier prize in a drawing last week, and all three came from the same store

Illinois man wins $1 million on lottery ticket and delivers his wife an early retirementReply
i guess they edited the article since your comment, but now that you mention it, it would be pretty funny if we got an honest lottery winner who said they were going to replace their spouse with a newer model.

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 .
