Mega Millions $5 price increase and game changes take effect this weekendReply
If Return 1, then it makes sense to play when the jackpot gets over X amount (keep in mind the infinite-play law-of-large-numbers assumption of the return calculation, which is not true with a typical number of plays). X $USD 1.2 billion for the old Megamillions rules, which takes into account US taxes. MM made the change to put more money in their pockets, and less in the player's pockets. I will be boycotting MM because of the combination of ridiculously low odds and high ticket cost

will you play the new $5 mega millions?Reply
From what I gather. They will not bump it 50 million. After the jackpot is hit, the amount will reset to a base of $50 million. If the jackpot is still rolling after the drawing on April 4, 2025, it will continue to roll until it is hit, and will then reset to $50 million. And all they did to change the game was remove 1 mega ball. So the odds went from 1 and 24 to 1 and 23.07. This is just my opinion. But I think mega millions shot there selfs in the foot. So from what I just read. They increas

We usually just play quickpick (machine pick numbers). But here's another $10 win from last night. (odds 1 in 56, we only bought 1 ticket for the BC49)

I've been wondering about 9's since we had that trip almost two weeks ago. I feel like I haven't seen 6's as much (atleast not in a double for awhile). Fingers crossed! Good luck with your plays I have a few! May the odds be in our favor!

Thanks Premonitionz I've been following this once more frequent number now elusive. There has been a lot of even numbers on midday. I sense a 3 digit number two odds one even to balance. 039 is a viable pick.

Powerball sales in Australia and New Zealand.Reply
Exactly. Our Powerball is easier to win than yours and the jackpots are still life changing. One person just won $30 million this past thursday night. Another person won $60 million a few weeks ago. The way I see it, any millions is better than none and play whichever game(s) have the lowest odds of winning.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and as I said before I respect yours. At this point however, I'm starting to believe you work for MI Lotto since you're the only one who ever constantly defends them. I just cant believe there are still people in this world who believe everything is run fairly. Just as in the casino, the odds are always going to favor the house. Why is it so hard to believe that they are skewing things slightly to their advantage? You don't know that they aren't running

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Hi Skeptic, I can't really think of a definitive reason to play the new $50 ticket, other than a slightly better odds at some prize levels, like $500 How 'bout another fresh win?!!

Hi Star, it's because the minimum win on the $50 games is $100, so double ticket value. All the current $20 games have a minimum win of $20, so straight money back, which technically isn't a win, but rather a push. Also, even after adjusting for ticket price, the $50s offer the best odds of winning a $1M, esp the $1M a Year for Life Spectacular (though there's no longer any $25M top prizes on it, even though it's probably a tad under 80% sold).
