$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.

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
I am so confused by this. It takes the California lottery from October 16 2023 to March 29 2024 (165 days) to verify the winner and collect the money to give the winner their payment ? I have never heard of this before even with previous major jackpot winners in other states and California. I can understand keeping the privacy for lottery winners. But I don t like the lack of transparency from the lottery and generic answers or talking around the question. It s just like how Powerba

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
I think we got so blinded by the billion dollar jackpots people think that 1M is loose change. For the second prize winners that live in a state that doesn't tax the lottery that's 630K after taxes. 630K won't necessarily buy you a mansion or a yatch, but 630K can leave someone debt free and a little towards retirement. 630K is not an amount to be frowned upon. That's my attitude towards the game.

$975 MILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againReply
Like they say, you have to be in it to win it On that note, I got my one PB with PP and my one MM with the multiplier. Who said that 36M is not a significant amount. The around 10M after taxes is a lot of money - let's not pretend that our lives can only be changed by 100M I would still buy a ticket if the jackpots reset at 10M. Good luck to all.

$1.1 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot now the eighth-largest in historyReply
do the two jackpots help or hinder the other as it pertains to lottomania? I'd think that not playing PB when the MM jackpot is $100 or $200 million higher would be the obvious strategy considering that the cost is the same and the odds are very close to being the same, but I've never noticed an obvious effect of one game on the other. Maybe when they're both really big and one gets hit a few people figure they should try their luck on the remaining one before it gets hit, too. would yo

$1.1 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot now the eighth-largest in historyReply
Ques to ponder: do the two jackpots help or hinder the other as it pertains to lottomania? Would mega millions already be 1.1 bil if Powerball was 20 to 300 mil and vice versa? Just dreaming big-time thoughts pre drawing . P.U.: What stinks? Phydeaux, you go outside to do your business !

Mega Millions and Powerball offer $1.11 billion in combined lottery jackpotsReply
No one wants these huge jackpots. You may think you do but it is too much money to be responsible for Some people earn 30K a year and are not responsible. It's not about the amount, it's about values and information and knowledge. I can do way more good with 600M than I can do with 1M. I would definitely welcome the reduction in the Matrix and better odds. Hundred of millions of dollars sitting in some investment firms coffers after you win it benefits no one. I am not
