how long would you wait to claim a powerball jackpot?Reply
There is a small handful that never claim it because they either lost the ticket, threw it out because they didn't check it properly, or put it somewhere to check later and forgot they had it. Think glove box, car console, kitchen junk drawer etc. Current unclaimed PB tickets. https://www.powerball.net/unclaimed-prizes Current unclaimed MM tickets. https://www.lottery.net/mega-millions/unclaimed-prizes Here are some of the most famous unclaimed lottery jackpots in history: $1

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
MM went for 40 draws under the $5.00 ticket to produce a jackpot of $485.2 cash/$980 annuity. If you can do math, that's 5 months. And? How long it takes is irrelevant to the probability of happening. Given your username I'd think it should be easy enough to understand. play all ya want, no one is gonna win till the breaks the billion dollar mark Somebody could win this Friday, but it's more likely that it won't be won until they sell about another 145 million tickets.

Powerball is coming to the U.K.Reply
Better off sticking to state games. I usually go for 10 or 20 tickets for the PB , so instead I'll do it all on the 1$ state lottery. It may be less to win but there's a better chance. The winning set of numbers can land in the UK and we're out. Idk how others can't see this. The money doesn't stay in the house, it's going to be spent in another country. Anyone who wins in the US has to pay taxes, which helps our roads and funds other services. Whoever wins in another country benefits that co

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

Good new on the MEASLY MILLIONS front... The cash value ticked up a projected $100K for Friday 5/22/26. Perhaps it's a sign of Bigger, Faster jackpots that the participants were advised of. Good luck to all that are players of this game.

Help Me Understand This 😭Reply
Does it mean we have fewer people playing MFL in the 31 states where it's available? Very probably, but when random numbers are involved, you can never rule out random streaks of losing and winning. Am I looking at the games wrongly? As a player should the focus be on the odds of winning or how often people are winning regardless? Look at it this way - If somebody else wins the jackpot, are they going to send you a check? If not, you should focus on the odds of you winning.

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

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
While there are games that cost more than $5..... $10 scratchers, $20 scratchers, $50 scratchers, $20 raffle tickets, etc., the difference is that in those games, you have a vastly higher chance of winning a large amount of money. The problem with the new $5 MM is that they didn't change much of anything. It includes the multiplier for lower prizes (instead of giving you a choice to pay the extra $1). They included a 10X possibility but re-arranged the other multiplier odds to give you preci

Money and the Crime of Kidnaping
Like so many people in The USA, I've been closely following the national news kidnapping story coming out of Arizona. I saw one particular former detective being interviewed about the Ring Doorbell video that's been shown so many times. The Detective said Most criminals think they are smarter than anybody else, but this guy might be a little different in that he actually is smart. While he probably is smart, he's not smarter than The FBI criminalist's trying to catch him. And there you
