Michigan needs new games
Ahhh, I see you are one of the ones that was not around for the entire run of the Michigan 6/xx games. Throughout the 80s and 90s the jackpots often got up to $10 Million to $30 Million dollars. This info used to be freely available on the official Michigan website. Some time around 2013 Michigan took all the info off the official website so new players would not know how good the games used to be as several years had at least a couple $30 million dollar jackpots and others had many

Mega Millions confirms ticket price increase to $5, other changes coming April 2025
Lottery pools, honestly I'll just increase the number of folks in mine and maybe only play when it's large jackpots...I have 12, but by then maybe increase it to 30!!!

Mega Millions confirms ticket price increase to $5, other changes coming April 2025
This will probably reduce the sale of tickets by more than half That's one of the mysteries. At $2 a pop selling 100 tickets results in about $215 in revenue (about 15% of tickets have the $1 multiplier), so the lotteries will collect the same revenue as long as they can sell 43% as many tickets as they do right now. I suspect that they'll be able to do that for the early drawings in a run because a lot of the people who play for the tiny jackpots are the problem gamblers that have to be in

That price increase lets me out of playing. While I like Mega Millions and it's huge jackpots, the price per line will stop me from playing. That price point is too much. Would rather spend $5 on 5 chances at the Texas Lotto. A win would still make me a millionaire, and have more chances to win for the same investment.

The changes are very enticing. I have always added the Megaplier and for me the addition will be from $3 to $5. A $2 increase as opposed to a $3 increase. I don't know if that makes it feel better but I love the 10X win - 10M sounds good. The 10M makes it match close to the PB Double Play which is available for $4 in some states. All in all, I like that the increased ticket price will cause larger-starting jackpots, as well as faster-growing jackpots. There will be no breakeven p

Georgia lottery player makes state history with $478.2 million Powerball jackpot win
Another QP. More jackpots are won by QP. Perhaps because more QP-s are sold than SP-s?

A Texas Lottery jackpot was "bought" last year, but legislators are pushing wrong solution
I had something similar happen to me once. During one of the billion dollar jackpots, I went to a store to get tickets and I was told it would be a while because another customer asked to print 1,000 tickets. Luckily, there are multiple stores close by that sell tickets so I went to one of those instead. I'm not sure if anything can be done about these huge groups buying all these tickets. Someone will always find a workaround no matter what.

Actually Todd made a great point here. I also remember when Powerball raised the price to $2 per ticket back then. Also, they made the odds to win even more difficult. I haven't played as often during the past twelve years as I did when the tickets were only $1. But I still bought numerous tickets on several drawings when the jackpot was high. Of course, people played even more when the jackpots approached $1 billion. Honestly, I think what drove the larger number of sales was human nature. Peop

Wow! I remember for years when jackpots was considered high at $300 million and it was $1 I'll play ten picks for total $10 and when it went to $2 I'll play 10 picks for $20 for every draw but my starting level will be $600 million now it's going to $5 and for 10 picks a draw I'll have to come out of $50 every drawing but I wonder what my starting pot will be now? Ummm I'll say 2 Billion for me! Well folks to keep my strategy going I'm not jumping in until it crosses $2 billion and I'll apply my
