After ten MM jackpot increases of $10 million dollars the jackpot went from$150 million to $166 million to $182 million dollars, another $16 million dollar increase, so if it's not won on Tuesday will it go to $198 million?

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
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

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Looks like there is greed on both ends of mega millions, the pots are not rising like they said they would. Charging $5.00 a draw will probably keep the new change going a while. You took some of the excitement away with the price increase pricing a lot of people out of course you knew that.

Oregon Lottery proposes rules regulating courier services and preventing bulk ticket purchasesReply
It's because of the stupid 2X multiplier and the baseline starting jackpot. Eliminate the 2X multiplier and increase the starting baseline jackpot to $150M and you will see the new MM pop. The players are a lot smarter than the LOTTERY SUITS give them credit for. They need to see what they are paying for .

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by the minimum $10 million to $140 million. It is estimated the current jackpot is under funded from sales by about $0.3 million. This will be the last minimum $10 million jackpot increase. Going forward, the jackpot will be fully funded by sales. Nonetheless, there is no possibility for the Mega Millions jackpot to catch up to the Powerball jackpot. The Powerball jackpot is clearly winning this race.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
We are also skipping Mega Millions this week. Waiting for the jackpot to get a lot bigger. At least bigger than Powerball. My reasons are very different than MM's reasons, but I'm hoping that we'll see a ridiculously large jackpot in 3 months or so. By that time PB will either have been won or be well beyond the current record. Either way, at $5 per ticket for essentially the same odds I think it's foolish to buy a MM ticket unless it's substantially bigger than PB. Regardless of what PB is

The Measly Millions has rolled over(#21) once again, which is a good thing for all MM players. The projected new Cash Value increase from the previous draw is $8.6 Million. That is down from the previous increase of $8.8 Million on 5/29/26. *See attached link for Cash Value increases/decreases.

New pyramidal reduction method for Pick 5 and Pick 6 games – looking for opinionsReply
Please excuse my English; I m not a native speaker In case anyone happens to answer (which is true) what can be achieved with 5 bets. Many people focus on small sets of combinations, like 5 bets guaranteeing 5-number matches. While that works on a tiny scale, the coverage quickly decreases with larger sets. My system uses a pyramidal reduction approach, which allows me to maintain 100% coverage for 5-number matches even with larger combinations. For example, a 7-bet set can cover

What matters is their profit margin. It really does seem like a lot of people just can't figure that out. After millions of people threw away $5 on the new game format, I wonder how many of them will come back for more punishment Most of them, I'd imagine. They're only doing it $2 at a time, but about twice as many people keep on doing it with PB tickets. Hopefully the folks at PB are reading this and will not follow suit and destroy their game as well. Maybe the folks at

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Twenty years. Same numbers. Winning next to nothing. I am astounded that you played the same numbers for twenty years. I am impressed by your persistence and patience. I am actually curious. Did you play the same numbers for Powerball, Mega Millions, and the other lotteries in your state? I would think that those numbers would eventually at least come close to win a smaller prize in one of those games over that length of time. I used to get excited when jackpots where high. No
