US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
After reading the article a few more times very carefully here is what I get from the article: Everything in the article above the following section is yadda, yadda, yadda from the PB Lottery until some solid information (maybe subject to change?) comes along. US state lotteries and the UK National Lottery will pool funds only for the Powerball jackpot, not lower-tier prizes. Tickets purchased in the UK will contribute the same fixed US dollar amount per play to the jackpot pool as ticke

$1.7 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
Thank you for that wealth of information! We have had tons of $2, $4, or $10 ticket winners over the many years and only won $50 3 times but never $100 under the old matrix and when the tickets were $1 rather Powerball or mega. Through out the years we started winning bunch of $4'ticket prizes or sometimes several $7 ticket prizes but never ever crossed pass $50. As far the return rate I appreciate you breaking that down but never ever got close to any $50k return rate so that should tell you so

Mega Millions constant $10 million increasesReply
A $2 prize (times whatever multiplier, so $4 to $20) for matching two white balls would add 18% to the value of all non-jackpot prizes in total. That's a lot for such a small win. More accurately a $2 prize for matching 2 white balls would reduce the money that goes to the jackpot by about 14.6%. That would reduce the current cash value of $67.9 million to $58 million. For those who believe the advertising it would reduce the current $150 million annuity to $128 million if they abandoned or

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
Someone Above said if someone in Uk wins the lottery they can take the money and run away and not pay complete Federal tax later. And am thinking Now how can you run away in the first place when they gave you no Lump sum option only annuity. If you run away they freezes the rest of your Annuity Payments Ok when people win Powerball the top tax is like 37 percent. There are two ways to pay federal government. One way is the player pays 37 percent and the other way is l guess each sold t

Covering Designs - MM and PBReply
This is a mathematical covering design (or lottery wheel) that reduces the total number pool of Powerball/Mega Millions into just 350 combinations of 12-number sets . This specific optimization guarantees a 100% catch-rate for a 3-match and a 50% probability of hitting a 4-match , significantly lowering the cost while maintaining high efficiency.

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.

classic questions on lottery forumsReply
You made quite a number of correct observations. I would like to add some extras that also matter. Predicting numbers in lotteries in not only possible but, actually, quite easy. Predictability depends on 2 principal factors: 1) The number of elements in the pool from which you predict; the smaller the pool the easier to predict. 2) The number of elements you predict at the same time; the larger the number the greater the accuracy. Randomness does not affect these 2 principles;

Mega Millions and PowerballReply
Eventually power ball will be the national lottery with Mega Millions breaking up. It will be replaced by several Regional multi state lotteries. For example Texas, Florida, and California will have their own multi state and then the next 10 largest states will pool into their own multi state with the rest of the states having their own multi state lottery.
