$944 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot set to make holiday wishes come trueReply
What will be interesting will be 2nd division.. nominally $1 million.. But with automatic multiplier in the range 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, AND 10x (Statistically averages out at 3x) With 24 megaballs (down from 25) What happens if someone plays all 24 possibilities for their dream numbers.. Wins. And the multiplier comes up 10x. That's a payout (cash before taxes) of $230 million (about the same as a jackpot of ~$450m currently) even before you count the actual jackpot amount..

$944 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot set to make holiday wishes come trueReply
Castro has shown his recklessness in the handling of his new wealth. You're missing a clue or three. Based on the spending we've heard about he should have perhaps $540 million of the cash left. Even if the houses are sitting vacant they're still worth about $75 million and gaining value, bringing his net worth back up over $600 million. Maybe he's a moron and will manage to squander it, but I'm not aware of anything to suggest he needs to start worrying about his cash flow yet. There a

A Texas Lottery jackpot was "bought" last year, but legislators are pushing wrong solutionNews Story
Media echo chamber confuses problem and misleads public Exclusive Lottery Post investigative report By Kate Northrop Last year, a New Jersey-based group essentially bought a $95 million Lotto Texas jackpot by purchasing all the possible number combinations. Now state legislators are eying possible measures to prevent it from happening again, but those solutions may do more harm than good. A New Jersey-based group called Rook TX gamed the odds by buying nearly every number combin

Ok then, so we have a new record 14 days since the last straight hit from DYELLOMAN's chart(s). I admit that I am disappointed, but now I'm really curious to see when the next straight hit falls.

No winner again: Powerball jackpot hits $1.6 billion in longest-ever rollover runReply
Estimate was way off. They missed by even more in than MM missed back in October 2018 when they advertised a $1.6 billion jackpot and only managed 1.537. Depending on the metric you choose PB missed by almost 2 1/2 times as much as MM did. MM advertised an annuity increase of $600 million and missed by 10.5%. Powerball advertised a nominal annuity increase of $250 million and missed by 26%. Could be an indicator of lotto fatigue. Jackpot growth has definitely slowed down in general

Powerball jackpot hits $1 billion after building for monthsReply
Is $50 to much to spend or u go by ur heart? It's not too much if you save the money from all the drawings offering less than $1 billion and spend it on the first drawing for $1 billion or more. What happens if it rolls, though? PB only reached $1 billion once this year up until now. The first time there were 4 drawings for $1 billion or more. So far this run has been slower to get the big increases, and based on the most recent worksheet there's a 56% chance it will roll 3 more times*, so

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
the price hike could have been a response to slowing sales There's absolutely no question about it. Lottery revenue has been generally going downhill for years and the lotteries have been trying to stop the decrease or at least slow it down. One of the first huge jackpots was when MM reached $656 million in March 2012 on the 18th drawing. It reached 290 on the 16th drawing and then increased 73 363 and 293 656. A year and a half later in December 2013 it reached $257 million on drawing
