Bought 3 times so far and nada. I will not buy anymore. Will stick to Powerball until they decide to raise that to $5 bucks as well 😒

Powerball is $3 here in Idaho. They bundle the multiplier with it "for your convenience." Can't buy a ticket here without the multiplier. Then we have the Double Play for another dollar which isn't a bad price for a chance at a $10 million dollar top prize. So for me, Powerball already costs $4.

I find it odd they force the bonus. Did they recently change it? It's been that way since the beginning of time?

I only play once a week on Sunday.

The jackpot is enticing, the odds are not so bad, it's only the price that is not encouraging.

I believe winning the lottery jackpot is a 💯 % factor of luck.

May Fortuna, goddess of chance or lot vindicate me.

It changed a few years ago. I actually drove to Oregon to buy tickets for a couple years out of protest, but it's an hour away so I finally relented and started buying them here again.

That sucks @ them changing it. I was thinking about driving to Delaware to buy tickets because the taxes are lower then my state. But it just never happened. 🤷‍♂️ But if they keep raising the state tax. And if I can buy a month's worth or more. I might start making the trek. Thanks for the information. Have a great day. And good luck!

Buying them in Del won't matter. You'll still pay Md taxes cause they're the higher of the two, just minus what Del took.

Before you play there are 2 choices to make. Low sum or high sum and consecutive pair or no consecutive pair. Choose correctly and you go from 120 combos down to 30. Not a bad starting point.

Thanks for the information. I was not aware of that. You just saved me money in gas and wear and tear on my veichel. If you're playing good luck!

Is the Millionaire for Life game ball drawn or computer generated?

Smart lottery winners form trust to claim their winnings. They send an attorney to the lottery headquarters to claim the prize in trust, so that ONLY the name of the trust is revealed. And they tell NO ONE, especially relatives.

If you ever win a lottery and you are single, the only person you should ever marry is someone who was truly in love with you BEFORE you won the jackpot!

People can talk about strategies and gimmicks all they want, but unless your ticket actually matches at least 5 of those 6 balls, you are just another person who tried to win a game yet ultimately failed.
