Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Any guesses as to the next increase for the Measly Millions, should a rollover happen tomorrow night ? Another $40 Million ?? Another $40M would bring it to $794M. I bet they will go to at least $800M, that is a $46M increase. And that should unfold an even higher increase announced Tuesday night (if jackpot is not hit) for the following Friday (Fridays sales are larger than Tuesdays, so the increase leading to a Friday is significantly larger then the one leading to a Tuesday).

Three $1 million winning Powerball lottery tickets sold at the same New York storeReply
QP's or chosen numbers ? Makes a difference What time frame were they purchased on Monday ? Within a minute or 2 ? Spread out through the day? If they were QP's ,what does that say about about massive repeat number sales from machines or was it done solely by this machine ? Last I knew, the machines were RNG. Perhaps I missed something in the story.

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
With regard to what we know how Mega Millions is performing, and that move from a $2 to a $5 price point, we are going to be taking a really close look at how we message that , how that is provided to the player and the sales agents, Charpentier concluded. Lipstick on a pig, Anne. We players aren't fooled one bit by blatant lies and deceptive practices of the MUSL. It is so simple..... Go back to the $1 game where the odds were roughly 1/305M for the jackpot. Stop trying to reinve

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I know about that. I just don't understand why people would play a game where they don't know what the prize will be. The exact amount of the jackpot isn't known until ticket sales cut-off time, but they are able to advertise an amount that is very accurate. $7 million or $171,000, now that is a massive difference.

The .com that shall not be named has a lotto report (without the space) that has a format that lets you see, and easily copy to a spreadsheet, the columns for date, sales and advertised jackpot. You can find even more stuff, though not formatted for easy copying, here: https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Games/Powerball/Estimated_Jackpot.html https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Games/Mega_Millions/Estimated_Jackpot.html

There's that increase to 1.4! I agree I think it's going to end up between 1.45 and 1.5 tonight. Saturday is projected at 1.7 but I'll be surprised if it's not between 1.8 and 1.9 My thinking is the out of ordinary factor is when people are nervous about the economy, lottery sales increase, we also haven't had a jackpot over 1B for awhile so there isn't the burn out. And personally I'm putting money I would have spent on mega into PB instead so a lot of other people probably are too. Me

I am thankful we have no state income tax. But we do have sales tax that does allow each county to charge a certain max figure. So with the state tax and the county tax, the total due is 9.75%.... Groceries are at 6.25% * BTW Montana does the same as Idaho. Mandatory $3 for the PB with the forced purchase of the multiplier. Just talked with a friend who's out vacationing in the big sky country yesterday. I suggested he buy some PB tickets. He did grab a few and said each one is the minimal $3

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
We should get one now...lol We don't really need one, because the text will be mostly the same, and there will be just a minor revision to the list. With 3 days for sales it's very unlikely we'll see any update to the advertised jackpot until around noon tomorrow, but I'll revise the list based on an even billion. Assuming the interest rate doesn't change the cash value of $451.5 would be #18, about $1 million ahead of the current #18. For any cheerleaders that think the annuity matter

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I am beginning to wonder if I should stop buying and just wait and keep saving for the Big One and hope that the no win streak ends there. Or is someone going to sneak in and grab the jackpot before it becomes truly humongous when I would go all in for it? If you knew how big it would get before somebody else won the best strategy would be to wait and spend it all on the drawing before that one. Of course you can't know when it will be hit, but you can know what's probable. The table at htt

Another $18M scheduled increase for the Measly Millions.... Dilly Dilly..... I was grabbing a PB QP last night, talking with the clerk who said that their sales for the MM have fallen off a cliff and he hardly sells any on his 3-11 shift at the Murphy gas station. Haven't talked with any of the people at various locations where I purchase other tickets but I will and report on what I find out. I have 3 tickets in for tonights draw. Good luck to all of us tonight PB JACKPOT CASH VALUE f
