State-by-State Comparison: Scratchers Sales vs PB/MM SalesReply
Since we're theorizing here with zero proof, try this one on for size. You're the state lottery commission and your overall goal is to maximize profits without doing anything that could be proven as cheating if it ever came to light. You're also sitting on a mountain of data, so how do you steer scratchers to locations where they be least likely to ever be claimed? That's fairly easy, I'd think. You track the jackpot data distributed by county, then look at jackpots claimed to calculate which co

I hate to see it but FF5 Saturday jackpots amounts have been trending downward since last March. Very recent Saturday jackpots are totaling to just over $200,000. Last year Saturday jackpots were in a range of $210,000 to 215,000. G5

Florida Lottery Fantasy Five going to twice a day--will you still play?Reply
Now that there has been two drawings held, I think we can see the pattern for what the future holds as far as jackpots go. The midday draw jackpots will be low, and the evening draw jackpots will be substantially higher. (Last nights jackpot was almost three times higher than the midday's) My guess is that FF5 players will catch on to that very quickly, and as a result will wait for the midday draw to happen, and then buy their tickets for the evening draw. I think too, that we're going to s

Is the Powerball jackpots rigged by the Multi State Lottery Association? ( MUSL)
I know the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot is astronomical with a chance of 1 in 292.2 million but how in the hell the state of California is winning ALL the billion dollar jackpots including the last four ? Also, California has a numerous amount of 2nd tier prize winners of the $1 million/$2 million( PowerPlay) matrix in nearly every drawing. There are over 40 states participating in both the Powerball and Mega Millions draw games and other states can't get a piece of the pie. The MUSL lo

$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseNews Story
By Todd Northrop Powerball lottery players might be wondering this morning why the jackpot only increased by $25 million after nobody won last night's $875 million grand prize. The answer is that the last jackpot was estimated too high. During the live drawing it was announced that after all proceeds were counted, the final jackpot tally came to $829.4 million $45.6 million shy of the expected amount. Likewise, the cash value that was initially estimated to reach $452.2 million only in f

In March of 2023 The Florida Lottery implemented two Florida Fantasy5 drawings per day and absolutely ruined the game! Prior to March of 2023 jackpots got as high as $235,000, especially after The Snowbirds arrived in Florida for the winter. Now total jackpots for both drawings has shrunk to about $180,000. Florida Fantasy5 players walked away from the game in droves. You can easily see that by the size of the jackpots and also the number of rolldowns. Rolldowns have become a very commo

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
Not only that but 3 of the last $1 Billion+ jackpots for the powerball have been won within like 70 or so miles of each other this year in the L.A. metro. Also, why do some states with a large population, like Texas, win so many few powerball jackpots?
