Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot reached $166 million after 11 rolls. In the previous Mega Millions run, the jackpot reached $189 million after 11 rolls. This time around the cash value for drawing #12 is $75.2 million while PB is advertising a $482 million annuity. Last time around the cash value for drawing #12 was $82.7 million, which is only 10% more, and a much smaller difference than the annuity inflated by a higher interest rates suggests. Still a long ways off from the 11 roll record o

Lottery money for educationReply
I believe that the government money goes to the physical plant, staff, teachers, food for breakfasts and lunches, and so on. The supplies mentioned are what the parents are supposed to supply their children with - notebooks, paper, pencils, rulers, etc. Some kids from less fortunate families would not have any of this if not for the donations. That is what the lists by teachers are for. The teachers are not making lists for desks, school buses, playground equipment, etc., but for the very basic

It's a sad goodbye 😔Reply
An interesting aspect is that if the number of ticket sales increases significantly, it could indirectly change the behavior of Powerball jackpots. Possible effects include: potentially higher average jackpots; more drawings ending with at least one jackpot winner; rollover cycles that may differ from those observed in the past. This could influence when many players choose to buy tickets, even though it does not change the numbers that are drawn. My conclusion I see this a

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Weekly total sales for PB tends to run about $3.66 Million more than MM from the start and increases at a rate 2.61% more than MM. The graph shows the current jackpot run as we posted earlier. Given PB $2 / $3 ($2.2 average) at 3 draws and MM $5 at 2 draws, you'd think MM would have the advantage. If we played 1 line per draw a week, that's $6 to $9 ($6.6 average) for PB and $10 for MM... hmm, seems a bit off. Let's not forget, MM has yet to produce a Billion Dollar jac

Inflation affects the cost of operating the game, Inflation also affects state budgets that are partially funded by lotteries. Inflation itself isn't a direct reason for the price increase. Decreasing lottery revenue and efforts to prop it up are the reason, so inflation is an indirect cause. Of course the flip side of that coin is that most players do account for the price/risk of a bet to some degree. Here's the revenue for the first 5 drawings of the last 3 MM runs (current run on le

New York- The Million Dollar RaffleReply
New Yorkers do play raffle games... except they do it in Pennsylvania. New York's border state of Pennsylvania has been holding their Millionaire Raffle for more than the last 20 consecutive years. They sell just 500,00 tickets, ($20 each) tickets sales run from November 4, 2025 to January 3, 2025. Odds are 125,000 to 1 to win one million dollars due to the fact they award four one million dollar prizes. I can't ever recall a Millionaire Raffle drawing where they didn't sell all 500,000

Here are some possibilities about what's coming. It takes 201 million tickets to reach a 50% chance of getting a winner. We obviously can't get a winner in any of the previous drawings, so from this point there's a 50% chance that the cash value will reach about $668 million. At the current interest rate that would be an advertised annuity of $1.44 billion. On average it takes 292.47 million tickets to produce each winner, so once the cash value has reached $391.7 million (tonight's valu
