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.

$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.

On Average How Many People Play PB or MM In A DrawingReply
Is it possible to know on average how many people play PB or MM during a draw? I'm not sure that the lotteries even have a precise answer. They obviously know if somebody buys multiple tickets with a single playslip, and multiple playslips can be played in a single transaction as reported by the terminal, but we see posters who buy tickets at different stores and even different states. About the best you could do is make a guess at the average number of tickets per player and compare that t

$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.

Resisting Temptations
When the jackpots are this high and I am tempted to buy more and more tickets. I remind myself that millions of tickets have been bought. That helps me to stay grounded. Good luck to the LP community. May fortune smile at us

$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 !
