Mega Millions confirms ticket price increase to $5, other changes coming April 2025Reply
That's inflation for ya! At any rate they should take away the 70 ball also for more second prizes. I won't be playing unless I'm in an anonymous state and the jackpot is super high. I'm plugging away on different games right now as I have already all but quit Mega because nobody wins. Speaking of changing games Michigan has 3 dead draw games including our 6/xx game which hasn't been changed in coming on 20 years.... I'll post a thread on that on another forum...

Texas Lottery says NJ group tried to buy another Lotto Texas jackpotReply
Oh, you mean changing the game to cap the jackpot. You might as well cancel the game at that point, because the newsflash is that lotto-style games make their profits (like in all gambling) during the peak times. If you delete the peaks, you delete the profits. By peak times, I mean situations that convince non-regulars to buy a ticket. They don't do that unless the jackpot is through the roof. Lotteries were created as a way to fund state programs. If they fail to do that, they won't ex

Oregon Lottery launches modern remix of first-ever ticket to celebrate 40th anniversaryReply
True, but the odds of winning the top prize are far better than the $30 to win $3 million in other games. I would play this game because the top prize is almost life-changing (as opposed to $1,000 which is not) with really good odds, 1 in 15,770.

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.

One lottery ticket sold in Texas wins $800 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
It amazes me we live in a world where the top ten jackpots of all-time is a billion or more. Now I hear their rumors coming in 2025 the Mega Millions will be changing the structure and introducing a new game where a one auto pick ticket will be $5 a draw. I remember when one auto pick was a $1. What in the world is going on here I'm sure Powerball will do the same if Mega Millions show success and no drop in sales. How much greedy can they be. We got to quit supporting this madness y'all. This n

comparison of PB and MM
Because these two games have different prices, in order to compare the two games, let's say I wish to spend $10 (the smallest amount with which I can buy a whole number of tickets for either game). I am only considering PB with no multiplier for $1 extra. Personally, I consider the multiplier option a waste of money. If I want to spend more money on lottery tickets, I'll just buy more of them. For $10, I can buy 2 MM tickets, or I can buy 5 PB tickets. Both games have similar probabiliti
