Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I did not day I did not know how many are in the pool. Second, I trust the guy running the pool. And third, I am only spending a few bucks. It is not the end of the world. I am just in for the fun of it.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
You and I are doing similarly. I played 4 tickets with no duplicated numbers and received zero cash for my efforts. Two tickets had no hits. One ticket had 1 hit. One ticket had two hits and missed the powerball by 1. I had 21 and needed 22 for $25. As Agent 86 would say: Missed it by thaaaat much. It was my fault entirely, I picked the 21 powerball so I can't complain that the lottery terminal shafted me on that one. The Saturday draw was as close as I have ever been for the win. Th

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Our pool is finally starting to buy tickets again. We have Mega Millions tickets for the Friday draw. We are off to a good start. One ticket has a 10 times multiplier.

Covering Designs - MM and PBReply
This is a mathematical covering design (or lottery wheel) that reduces the total number pool of Powerball/Mega Millions into just 350 combinations of 12-number sets . This specific optimization guarantees a 100% catch-rate for a 3-match and a 50% probability of hitting a 4-match , significantly lowering the cost while maintaining high efficiency.

New Jersey Pick 6 jackpot-winning ticket worth $5.9 million expiring in three weeksReply
Ticket expires May 22 at the Eisenhower Exxon in Roseland, Essex County - winning numbers 20-21-30-31-42-44 from that May 22, 2025, drawing. There's also a $50k Powerball from the same day unclaimed at D'Latinos in West New York, so double the urgency for NJ players to dig out old tickets. Hate seeing these roll back into the prize pool, especially with the app making checks so easy now.

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
Tucker, thank you for the very concise explanation. I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately, the people that already did not believe what you wrote will probably not be convinced. They do not want to admit they were once mistaken. Improving the odds is exactly why I only buy tickets as a member of a pool. I never buy a ticket on my own. Yes, I could win a pick 3 game but winning $500 is not very exciting for me. Winning the Mega Millions or Powerball games is nearly impossible when buying y

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
Another thing that's not rocket science. They're not in the red, but when the winner chooses the cash value of $27.1 million there's only going to be about $12 million in the prize pool. The non-jackpot prizes require about 22% of sales revenue, so that's about $9.5 million of the $42.7 million they took in for the two drawings. Add the $27.1 million and they get to pay out about $36.6 million. That's roughly 85% of revenue, and about $15 million more than they planned.

ideal lottery pool sizeReply
Just me. One time I tried to join a very small lottery pool (total two people) but the other person forgot to purchase the ticket before the cut-off time.
