$1.7 billion in combined jackpots, as USA multi-state lottery games peak togetherReply
It would be shocking to see Mississippi win a Mega Millions or Powerball lottery jackpot since Mississippi is new to the jackpot lotteries as of 2020. It seems like the more lottery vending machines a state has the better chance a state has of winning the jackpot. This is why California has won the most recent jackpots because the now have the most lottery vending machines in more locations than any other state in the US

Accusations of "disturbing" new claims procedures after Allwyn sends investigator to winner's homeReply
$4000/yr on State lotteries! Take that and instead invest in bitcoin in a Roth IRA account for the last 10 years. The amount in the retirement account would be greater than almost all jackpots. And taxes on gains would already be accounted for, so no tax bite of 40% to 50% like with a State lotto jackpot win.

Mega Millions and Powerball offer $1.11 billion in combined lottery jackpotsReply
A lottery pool does not greatly increase your chances of winning when there are over 300 million combinations and adding 59 more to your few plays doesn't even register a .000001% increased percentage of winning it. Many accurately say they would be happy with 1 or 2 million with that 2nd prize. So why not play lotteries with more than half the matrix with jackpots in that range.

Dude, MOST people who play the lottery on a regular basis LIKE the HUGE jackpots. The lottery officials know this and is the reason they will NOT be going back to the old matrix.

Mega Millions and Powerball offer $1.11 billion in combined lottery jackpotsReply
I liked it better when we weren't being lied to about the jackpots restarting at $40M ( last for the PB was on 2-15-2020) not the $20M(starting on 4-11-2020) figure they blamed on Covid. I also liked it better when the Cash to Annuity value was at 66% and not this mere 47% jargon.....Gotta take the good with the bad I suppose....Onward we go..Best of luck to everyone that participates.

This I like. 5.00 a ticket will get the pikers to stop playing yet the jackpots would increase quicker and with less numbers they would get hit more often with a normal amount of money won by more instead of these ridiculous amounts.

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
Some people buy and forget about the tickets they have purchased. I wonder how many jackpots over the past 20 years have not been claimed across the USA?

Improved odds of a 5W Powerball win, or coincidence?Reply
The only way I have found to consistently lower the odds in PB or MM is to eliminate all prime numbers. Of the last 408 MM draws, this occurred in 1 out of 7 draws. If everyone stopped buying quick picks and made their own with a simple Bingo hopper, I don't think we would see as many huge jackpots. Most assuredly, more 5 of 6 winners.
