  I haven't played a single jackpot game all month, so what would be the luckiest option? (I'm buying them online through my state lottery's website, so it's legit).

  I wait until the Mega Millions odds changes as my vote.

  I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the PB to win the largest PB jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars! I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the Mega Ball to win the largest Mega Millions jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars!

  Great choice. Spending $2 for a chance at a powerball jackpot of $191 million tonight when you could wait a few days and spend the same 2 bucks for a slightly lower chance of winning a $40 million jackpot doesn't make any sense at all.

  If you learn anything from this site, it shd be that you have zero to none chance of hitting the jackpot. When you buy a ticket, you are buying hope, entertainment.  That being said, you have less than no chance if you buy no ticket at all. So, if you can afford it, buy 1 ticket of each. Or, you can play your state lotto which has better odds tho a lot lower JP.

  Anyway, good luck.

  I think that the best jackpot game to play now is none of the above. In my opinion state games are the way to go. I live in New Hampshire and play our states JP game Tri State Megabucks (current JP $3.5 million, odds of winning JP just under 1 in 4.5 million). I also live within an hour of Massachusetts, so when I'm there I play their JP game, Megabucks Doubler (current JP $5.9 million, JP winning odds just under 1 in 14 million).

  Lastly I keep my ears open at work and when somebody travels to a state with a JP game I want to play I'll give them some cash for multi draws on a bunch of tickets. Last week a coworker of mine went to Ohio and I asked her to pick me up five lines of Classic Lotto for the max consecutive draws of 10. That one is a 6/49 game just like the Mass Megabucks Doubler, with a very nice $22 million JP. I've gotten state games tickets for such far flung places as California, Arizona, Florida, and Puerto Rico. 

  It's cool playing state games I've never played before and seeing what their tickets look like. I'll wait to play PowerBall and Mega Millions until their jackpots go up over $500 million.

  Unless you're really good at the jackpot games they're not worth it
