  Got a 5X QP for Friday draw. Hope the 5X does something. Somehow once in a while I hit the Mega number and the X is nice (three times for $80 in April and early May). The last time I won anything on PB was when we had to go to another state to play it. Won $110 and so did the guy in the gas station I played the same ticket for. 😊

  MM increased $15M, up to $346M. PB is $172M. CDanaT before you tell us the MM is 'Measly' compare the MM and PB jackpots and consider taking a remedial math course. Good Luck 🍀 in whatever you do play.

  The Measly Millions has rolled over(#21) once again, which is a good thing for all MM players.

  The projected new Cash Value increase from the previous draw is $8.6 Million. That is down from the previous increase of $8.8 Million on 5/29/26.

  *See attached link for Cash Value increases/decreases. Numbers don't lie folks.

   https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Documents/jackpotestimates/mm20260529.pdf

  With the recent poll taken on 5/08/26, A resounding 80% of voters opted for the cash value. Annuity voters were at 9%

  Good luck to all players on their next lottery purchase.

  I stopped and just play Pick 3/4 and occasionally Lucky Day Lotto/Show Me Cash (Pick 5 numbers). This from someone who was part of a $10,000 winner in a Mega group pull. Just doesn't seem to justify the added expense winning under $25 in wins.

   On Page 3 of this thread I said," I will probably play when the CASH VALUE is at $500,000,000 +", referring to the new $5 MM ticket price.  Now, the PB is playing their gormless games...SO....If this UK thing happens ?? I will most likely develop the same starting point--$500 Million CASH VALUE. PB leadership has shot themselves in the foot(IMHO) with their failing to restart the jackpot at $40 Million due to Covid mess in 2020-2022. That medical problem has been subsided now for 3+ years but the restart is still at $20 Million dollars Annuity. I don't play PB now, until it gets to $200 Million Cash Value point. Plenty of other State Lottery games to play and 1 game that is a multi state game which only costs a $1.  Whats your game plan for the new change ?

  Thanks for the reply. As for me I'm going to stick with it. I play the same number. So I do not think it will affect me. But im definitely not happy about it. Good luck and have a great day!
