$865 MILLION: Powerball jackpot reaching historic levelsReply
I've been playing for 20 years! I'm happy if I just matched the 5 Mega ball with Mega Plier and go off into the sunset. For the life of me I don't understand why people will still play after winning $10 million or $100 million jackpots from the lottery. I know several people who won millions of dollars but they continue to play. Don't they know they beat tremendous odds. Hey but their stories of people who got struck by lightning twice in the same spot. I seen some crazy odds of like 1 in a tril

Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winNews Story
New Jersey based group turned the odds to win in their favor By Kate Northrop Around this time one year ago, the Texas Lottery's Lotto Texas jackpot was bursting at the seams, boasting the game's third-largest prize ever at a mouthwatering $95 million. One New Jersey-based group gamed the odds to win the jackpot. Following a seven-month period without a winner, the Lotto Texas jackpot had ballooned to $95 million for the drawing on April 22, 2023, the game's largest in over 12 years.

Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
So gambling with the lottery is OK, but gambling with a skill game is not? Many times I have seen people scratch games at the counter, buy more, scratch more, buy more, etc. I don't see any distinction between that and pressing buttons on a screen repeatedly. Seeing a distinction between those two things is where I think it turns from a logical debate into a debate on personal choices and of opinion. That's where I draw the line. I don't like arbitrarily preventing people from making choices in

Look-alike actor from movie inspires Michigan man to buy lottery ticket, wins $500,000Reply
I definitely believe in lucky hunches, I won two pick 3s today due to hunches not workouts. Congrats to him! I wish scratchers would post overall odds for the JACKPOT instead of all the prizes. Example: The overall odds of winning any prize in the game are 1 in 4.02.

$1.7 billion in combined jackpots, as USA multi-state lottery games peak togetherReply
Got to be in it to win it! Here goes my strategy for LP members! I only buy one ticket with the $3 option for each MM and PB! I only purchased 1 ticket for every odds! So if mega odds is 1 to 302 millions and Powerball is 1 to 292 million. I'll wait to jackpot levels $604 Million and $584 Million before I jump in. I let all the other people build it up before I go in to play especially why the lottery guys are greedy and never placed it back at 40 million when COVID was over but still kept the p

Mega Millions and Powerball offer $1.11 billion in combined lottery jackpotsReply
OK, I challenge you. Find me a state game where I spend $1 and get odds of 1 in 6 million to win $7 million? These are my approximate Mega Millions odds for the pool I am in.

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.

$935 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
I feel this pot going to climb into the top 3 Maybe, but it needs to almost double, to about 1.815 billion to be in the real top 3, based on the current cash:annuity ratio. It will reach a billion by Saturday for sure. That would require actual sales to be almost twice as much as the original forecast. Call me crazy, but I think that seems just a tiny bit unlikely. Considering the odds are even higher for mega millions than they are for Powerball ... The very high odds for
