Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
I'm surprised that you got that completely backwards. With fixed annual payments the advertised annuity would be less than the inflated advertising value they get by keeping more money invested for a longer time. Of course advertising that smaller annuity would almost certainly reduce sales a bit, making both the cash and annuity even smaller after any given number of rolls. They tell us the graduated annuity makes sense because of inflation, but I feel very confident that that's strictly PR abo

Wisconsin Lottery launches new Wisconsin 50/50 RaffleReply
FYI- NY retailers just started advertising a special drawing with an October 26, 2025, draw date- I didn't pay any attention to the particulars.

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
Yep it's not even a top 25 jackpot per the cash value. What really matters is that the advertised annuity is #23 but the cash that a winner will almost certainly take is only #37. It's getting there, but as of now this one isn't a huge jackpot in terms of the biggest jackpots of the last few years. The 5% annual increase in payments makes the lump sum even less than it would be with constant annual payments. I'm surprised that you got that completely backwards. With fixed annual pa

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
There is no maybe about it. They have advertised that there will be (10) 1 million dollar prizes, even if only one ticket is sold. If they renege on paying out (10) 1 million dollar prizes, it is false advertising at best, and fraud at worst.

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
honest question, what is the advantage of hiring someone advertising themselves as a lottery lawyer over someone who simply has a proven track record of handling large estates and trusts? nothing against the guy, i'm sure he's competent and his clients are happy, but instinctively i'd prefer someone with less visibility. aside from the cost, what is really the downside of hiring a big city firm? in a major population center, they'd probably have some experience helping lottery winners even if th

Google is your friend. Although it's obvious that you are here to advertise this guy, so you'll contibue to act like it's not a way to anonymity and this guy is the savior. But everyone else should google it before they hire the guy you're advertising.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Based on the worksheet I figured a roll should be about 1.011 billion, but playing it safe and advertising an even billion isn't a surprise. The most recent worksheet estimates the supported annuity at 1.017. Monday's jackpot finished almost exactly at the estimate for the supported annuity (a hair over 40k higher, based on the numbers I've seen), and last nights was about 3.6 million higher (935.5 vs an estimated 932.4). Now we just wait and see if advertising a jackpot starting with a B will g

Point taken. Does the state advertise that 2nd place prize will be approximately $171,000? I've been to California a few times but I didn't pay any attention to Powerball jackpot advertising.

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Hey G5! Good to see you're also fighting the good fight! I'm in the raffle because it came out right at a time when I decided to take a break from the lottery. I quit playing scratch-offs awhile back. I had been playing JTP regularly, but the method I'm using for number selection dictated a break until June (don't ask!) If by felt that you really could you mean 'can I afford it?' then yes. Considering the recent inflationary trends, I am fortunate to be in a position to still have disc
