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

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
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.

Why do so many in CA win powerball?
In 2023 the 2 billion dollar jackpots were won in California, this year the last two jackpots out of 4 have been won in CA. Does anyone have the number tickets bought compared in other states? I'm assuming more people play in CA but also wondering how it compares to megamillions, MM sees to have jackpot winners in lots of different states, not as often in CA.

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
Actually having two games and letting the players pick may be worse right now. As happens so often, I think this is another case of players somehow failing to understand that the point of a lottery is to raise revenue for the entity that runs the lottery. Maybe MUSL could collect a modest fee from the UK for licensing the Powerball name, but the real money is from selling tickets. Their obvious goal is to gain players so that jackpots will grow more rapidly, because sales are better whe

Perhaps the Measly Millions jackpot will get more traction at the Half Billion mark ??? ...........Course, how long will it take to get to that point ?? 5 more draws ?? 6?? I was curious on previous draws, so I went back into the history books and I couldn't seem find a spot where the increases after 20 + rollovers triggered a 10 - 20% reduction on the next draw. Interesting tactics MUSL but I am failing to follow that logic of how that works out. After all, you did state in your press rele

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
Last nights winning numbers ===== 5 6 23 31 32 Now there are 2 numbers yet to be drawn in July ===== 21 30 Well there's #5. Did you play it??? There aint anybody else here besides me so I dont know why I asked. Probably nobody who comes here played it, and besides that, there was not a jackpot winner anyway. There was another rolldown. That's the 12th rolldown of the 18 drawings held to date in July. This forum is indicative of what's happened all across Floria with FF5. There were 60 FF
