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
Curious where the regulars land: is the multiplier value enough to justify 2.5x the ticket price, or does it just price out the casual players who drove ticket volume? I would consider myself a regular MM player. I do not focus a lot on the crazy odds of winning, that doesn't help me I am driven more by the fun of planning for a win, the immediate impact that would have on me and my family line and also a desire to prove to myself that not all lottery winners are dumb losers .

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Yeah, well whatever. I can see the numbers, as can anyone who bothers to look intelligently . If one is unintelligent, that's another matter. It is something called a fact that the $5 version of Megamillions ran for 40 draws without producing a billion dollar (annuity) jackpot. It is also a fact that the pretax expectation value has never gone beyond 0.5, something Powerball, as well as the $2.00 MM did a number of times. If one looks at expectation values, it's immediately obvious to anyone

Powerball is coming to the U.K.Reply
I am so excited about this new development. I was wondering when will it finally happen. I don't stand to loose anything. Odds are the same. Ticket price is the same. For me it's like adding Nevada or Utah to the lottery, I won't throw a fit because of that. Unfortunately, many people don't like losing to California (me included ) so the thought of losing to another country is unbearable to them (not me ) If anyone thinks that their Country deserves to win the World Cup, oh w

is it luckier to buy tickets on the rich side of town?Reply
This is a classic question in sociology and applied economics, and the answer is well-documented by demographic studies and market research in the United States (such as data from the Brookings Institution, the Tax Foundation, and various state lotteries). The direct answer is: people from all social classes play, but the financial impact, frequency, and motivation are profoundly different between the poorest and the wealthiest. Here is the breakdown of how lottery consumption

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Hi Sum Buddy! Nice to see you posting. It's been a while since I've read a post from you! I'd going to ask you a couple of questions.... Did you buy your raffle tickets because you felt that you really could or just might actually win one of the top prizes? Did you buy your tickets because there will be multiple top prize winners on July 2nd? Or did you buy your tickets for both of the above reasons? If so, then you're just like almost every other member of The Lottery Pla
