North Carolina lottery winners of $5 million and more could remain anonymousReply
It actually tends to have the opposite effect. Virginia moved to anonymity years ago for wins of over $10 million years ago and had increasing online sales. They had banner years and then moved to lower the anonymity to wins of $1 million and over. The biggest threat to the integrity of the lottery are lottery clerks and lottery employees.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
So it appears sales are high enough to support a jackpot of $1.155 billion. But no one with a high enough authority is working today to send a message to all jurisdictions to change the Powerball jackpot estimate to $1.155 billion.

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
Maybe another billion is coming! There roughly a 1 in 3 chance it will roll past $1 billion (to perhaps $1.1 billion). If sales are a bit better and it gets there one drawing sooner there's about a 40% chance it could just barely get past $1 billion. I could scrape by with it, but the cash value at an even billion is only $451 million, assuming interest rates don't change.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Lets see if the MSUL gets the hint in another 7 months...... Here is my proposal for improved lottery sales.....Have a 3rd option.......... Start a new $1 game, make the odds 1/305 million for the jackpot( smidge more than the old MM odds).....Test it out for a year. See how things go. That way, they surely will know what is a success and what is a failure. Just food for thought

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Back in March of this year, the Powerball jackpot was $527 million while the Mega Millions jackpot was only $29 million. The Powerball jackpot was over 18 times larger than Mega Millions. Sales for Mega Millions were not zero. In fact, they were large enough for the jackpot to increase to $43 million in the next draw. The point is, regardless of the ticket price or jackpot size, players like buying tickets for both games.

Oregon Lottery proposes rules regulating courier services and preventing bulk ticket purchasesReply
Link to 50,000 AZ lottery ticket limit (per 24 hours per game) didn't work. Outlawing international ticket sales is stupid.

There have been a lot of complaints about the Mega Millions jackpot growing very slowly. But this is not just a Mega Millions problem. Sales in general for lotteries is down. The Powerball jackpot is also growing slower than it has in the past. The current Powerball jackpot at $384 million was reached after 25 rolls. The record jackpot for 25 rolls is double the current jackpot at $768 million. Patience is required if you are waiting for the next $1 billion jackpot.
