$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
Just checked my g mail. $12 winnings confirmation. Only had PB of 9; all numbers chosen by rolling my Ottolball. My friend bought me about a week's worth of a PB and it won $7 from Indiana. Will cash that out today. It has two more drawings on it. doing good NOT playing until the jackpots are $40 million. Certainly $20 million would be nice, to me it is the principal of the 'blame it on the pandemic' mentality. Two can play that game!

California Lottery announces group as winners of historic $1.765 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Interesting. I think the education system in Britain is much better than United States. The British appear to understand probabilities much better. In Britain, most jackpots are won by pools. They are referred to as syndicates in Britain. There is mathematical proof. Your odds of winning increase dramatically with more tickets bought.

Mega Millions and Powerball offer $1.11 billion in combined lottery jackpotsReply
You do not understand probabilities. Buying 2 tickets doubles your odds over 1 ticket. Buying 20 tickets is even better. You ask, why not play lotteries with more than half the matrix with jackpots in that range . Playing Mega Millions in a pool gives a better chance of winning a million dollars than playing a smaller matrix on your own. I have worked out the odds.

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
This was the only unclaimed Mega Millions jackpot ticket in 2023 Only one? With just 6 jackpots in 2023 what are the odds that only 16.67% of them would go unclaimed? Using that math formula, 80% of $36 million is $28.8 million (which goes to education), and 20% is $7.2 million (going back to future prizes). Using a better formula 80% is $13.92 million because they're probably not going to put that money in to a 29 year annuity.

Massachusetts Lottery shakes up Megabucks gameReply
I am afraid the 1.00 games will go the way of the 1.00 scratch ticket. This particular game which I have played since its inception has good value. They messed around with it over the years mostly just raising the matrix of numbers higher but made some adjustments in the secondary prizes along the way. Now, they have reduced the matrix by 5 numbers. Doubled the cost and doubled the secondary prizes. 44 numbers aren't bad for a 6 number draw game with no bonus ball which always annoyed me in othe

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
to be fair, per ticket sales, CA had contributed money the most to the jackpots. Next was Florida, then TX, then NY. North Dakota was one of the states that contributed the least, yet we did have jackpot winners from ND. it's fair game and God's will.

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
Lol that you're saying california has a higher population than China or India combined is totally nuts. If the lottery were rigged, it would be so california and Florida dont win. Sales would be better from other states if people didn't see those 2 winning all the time and the objective of the lottery is to increase sales. I don't believe the lottery is rigged so anyone in any particular place wins it, that doesn't benefit the lottery system in any way. I wouldn't be surprise

Notice how we have the top 8 jackpots over $1 Billion ??? Notice how it drops from there down to the $730M - $760M range ??? WELL, after long deliberation and all considerations......
