Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I am with you with the old-timed concerns. Here I was expressing ADDITIONAL concerns. I am used to see that the sales percentage increase v. the same day of the prior week should go up once the jackpot increases. If what they projected in the excellent file you linked https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Documents/jackpotestimates/mm20251104.pdf (thanks for the link, did not know it) is true, they would have a +13.3% in sales v. the prior Friday. The 4 prior dra

New Mega Millions game reports 300% increase in non-jackpot prizes in first monthReply
SoCola, you left out kind of an important stat...The starting point of both jackpots MM = $50 Million with 7 rollovers to get to $122 Million. No increase over $10M until the 7th draw PB = $20 Million with 8 rollovers to get to $123 Million. 1st increase over $10M on the 3rd draw There hasn't been a jump of $30 Million for the PB in the first 8 draws in at least the last 11 years. https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Games/Powerball/Estimated_Jackpot.html You wi

https://lite.cnn.com/2025/12/13/business/powerball-billion-dollar-jackpot-mega-millions Sounds to me like the author doesn't know much about how lotteries work or appreciate that the results of just 3 or 4 jackpot runs may not be representative. The headline screams that he's missing the clue that even if PB sales were up (they're not) due to MM's price increase it's still probability that results in billion jackpots. The average PB jackpot should have a cash value of about $195 million

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Lets face it, you know Mega Millions is now increasing their revenue with the jackpot at $800 million, For the same advertised jackpot MM's revenue per drawing at $5 per ticket dropped below the revenue per drawing at $2 per ticket a few drawings back. Revenue for Saturday's $800 million jackpot was a hair under 70% of the revenue for the last $800 million jackpot in August '24. Total revenue since the price increase is about 1% more than for the same time period in 2024, while revenue

Mega Millions confirms ticket price increase to $5, other changes coming April 2025Reply
The changes are very enticing. I have always added the Megaplier and for me the addition will be from $3 to $5. A $2 increase as opposed to a $3 increase. I don't know if that makes it feel better but I love the 10X win - 10M sounds good. The 10M makes it match close to the PB Double Play which is available for $4 in some states. All in all, I like that the increased ticket price will cause larger-starting jackpots, as well as faster-growing jackpots. There will be no breakeven p

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $34 million to $576 million after 31 rolls. There is an estimated 2.7% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw whereas it is double at 5.4% for Powerball. This is the largest jackpot increase in the current Mega Millions run for two draws in a row. In both cases, it was mainly to an increase in interest rates. This is the second largest Mega Millions jackpot since the launch of the revised game but well behind first place at over $
