Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winNews Story
New Jersey based group turned the odds to win in their favor By Kate Northrop Around this time one year ago, the Texas Lottery's Lotto Texas jackpot was bursting at the seams, boasting the game's third-largest prize ever at a mouthwatering $95 million. One New Jersey-based group gamed the odds to win the jackpot. Following a seven-month period without a winner, the Lotto Texas jackpot had ballooned to $95 million for the drawing on April 22, 2023, the game's largest in over 12 years.

$1.09 BILLION: Powerball jackpot is 4th-largest in game historyReply
Can we get 2-3 winners this tine Probability says no. It takes sales of $405 million just to have any number of winners be as likely as a rollover, and at that point the chances of a single winner are about 2.2 times as likely as multiple winners. The last time that happened was in the last two drawings for the PB record back in November 2022. It takes sales of a hair over $734 million for multiple winners to be just as likely as a single winner. That has happened twice, in the last two dra

This might hurt ticket sales if players think a syndicate can swoop in and buy out a large jackpot.

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
I wouldn't call it an adjustment, but it's not at all rare for the cash:annuity ratio to remain the same from one drawing to the next. According to the worksheets on the TX website the last two runs have consistently kept the same ratio for 3 consecutive drawings before changing for the next 3 drawings. What's unusual is a change as big as this one. The annuity estimate was increased by $70 million, while the cash value only increased by $13.8 million. We've seen mistakes in some of the reported

I don't believe the lottery is rigged (at least the non RNG games). But, I will say that this is the 2nd time that Powerball has had to delay results. The 1st time this occurred, there was a huge drop off in the rate of sales, and they still haven't recovered that volume from one draw to the next. This is because of those that do believe that the lottery is rigged. Powerball really isn't doing themselves any favors by having another issue with a delayed result unveiling. This really makes me que
