California winner of $1.765 billion Powerball jackpot is lauded as kind family man by neighborsReply
Took MUSL a long time (as I tossed and turned) to announce that Mega Millions jackpot will be $977 million Friday. Speaking for many LP members, if not all, that we know it'll jump up over $1 Billion for Friday.

Virginia man who won $1,000 a week lottery prize in Cash4Life says it's just "good"Reply
Lucky for Life is now MUSL drawn on RNG in Iowa. I believe they changed from Connecticut RNGs to Iowa RNGs around September this year. There really wasn't a big announcement.

Iowa Lottery blames "human reporting error" for posting incorrect Powerball resultsReply
How would they pay the WRONG numbers? So they are saying a human ENTERS the winning numbers into their system, which would then explain how they paid the wrong numbers. I guess I thought MUSL would send each state systems the numbers electrically so their system would not be able to pay the wrong numbers.

Powerball websites Requesting Disable AdBlock
MUSL is responsible for the overall management of Powerball, including game design, prize structure, drawing procedures, websites, and the integrity and fairness of the game. For all these appropriate management activities,MUSL has the necessary funding. BUT when we visit Powerball Website, you might come across a request to disable your AdBlock software or browser extension. So, Do Powerball websites rely on ad revenue to cover their operational cost? I don't find same issues

$1.55 BILLION: Biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever to be drawn TuesdayReply
Ticket sales for Powerball and Mega Millions were slowing prior to the pandemic. The pandemic gave them an excuse to lower the starting amount to $20 mill. And, they no longer have to guarantee a minimum bump between draws. Prior to the pandemic it was $5 mill for Mega, and $10 mill for Powerball. Now that they've made the change, they aren't able to change it back unless all states that participate in the MUSL also agree to the change.

What are the rights of lottery players as consumersReply
I am not quite sure how it all works but the MUSL is made up of several board members and they oversee the multi state games like Powerball and Mega Millions. Perhaps it has changed but in the past they didn't even have a policy against hiring criminals so I don't put too much trust into them protecting the consumers.

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
The Saturday jackpot was raised to $1.3 billion , with a cash option of $608.9 million . I'm wondering if they managed a typo for the cash value. If the cash:annuity ratio stayed the same it would be $628.9 million cash. If it's really $6 0 8.9 that's a pretty big change in interest rates, and a fairly big coincidence that the difference is an even $20.0 million. The TX website hasn't posted the worksheet yet, but that should give us the answer if MUSL doesn't make a change first.

Poll: Classic Mega MillionsReply
I understand their point too, but don't see how that could happen on a multi state level because it would compete with other MUSL and state games. There were over 175 million combinations in the old MM game and players asked for larger jackpots. Our 4/35 + 1/25 has $225,000 jackpot with a decent secondary prize payouts. And we have Lucky for Life that has a nice intermediate jackpot. Ohio has a nice mix of games with something for about everybody.
