Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
There won't be anymore large MM jackpots as it's way too easy to win lately.

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
How do you figures they took a loss when even when a jackpot is hit the lottery keeps about 50% of what comes in? That also includes keeping 50% of what came in while paying out previous jackpots not to mention what came in when paying no jackpots.

would you play a multi country lottery?Reply
I have bought multi country lottery tickets as part of a pool. The pool bought Euro Millions and Euro Jackpot tickets when there have been bonus draws with huge jackpots. The jackpots were well over $100 million and the odds are better than both Powerball and Mega Millions.

Answer Me This...
There are some very smart folks who are a lot smarter than I am that routinely post here. Maybe they could weigh in and answer a question for me. A couple of years ago, The Florida Lottery added a midday drawing to their very popular daily Fantasy5 online game. All that did was lower jackpot amounts dramatically. Until that change, daily jackpots were in the $200,000 range. (When the Snowbirds landed in Florida, jackpots climbed to a range of $230,000 to $235,000.) Even in Snowbird seaso

They didn't come up short. They just didn't get to skim the full 50% they normally would have. Total sales for the run were a hair over $117 million. Of the $58.5 million that goes to prizes just over 44.7% is for lower tier prizes, so they'd need about $26.2 million for the smaller prizes. Add in the cash value of $41.9 million and the total prize payout is about $68.1 million. That leaves them $48.9 million instead of the $58.5 million target. Of course the lottery is playing the long game

they've got it wrong. greed has made them blind to the fact that this kind of games would need widest participation. 1-return money back to the public by cutting down the 60% tax to 40% 2-I agree to bring back a dollar and a dream (increase the second tier prize to $2 million from the 60% tax reduction). ========================================/ The price increase of Mega Millions tickets from $2 to $5 was decided by the Mega Millions Consortium , which is the governing body of t

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
I don't know why Mega Millions just can't go back to the $2 ticket price, there's no shame in admitting that they got it wrong. I mean no billion dollar jackpots, slower rise in jackpot amounts. Last year I think there were (2) billion dollar jackpots at this point in the year.

Did Hell freeze over?
I just checked the NY lottery website for the first time in a couple of weeks or so, and they've made a major change. Right on the home page, in the prominent boxes that show the jackpots (for PB, MM, and NY Lotto), and in a font that's not the smallest font on the page, they're showing the actual cash value of the estimated annuity jackpots.
