  By my figures, the sales are averaging 77% of what they were in the last incarnation of the $2.00 ticket.

   

  I suppose they're hoping for a set of rollovers lasting 9 months or more.

   

  As of now, they're up to 15 weeks, almost 4 months.

   

  It was a bad idea, even in inflationary times.

  From what I gather. Sales are lower. But they are making more money. Do to the price increase.

  It is inevitable that there will be more $5 draw games via existing game price increases and new $5 games. When tat happens LP will have a lot of interesting conversations.

  Same here, 

  Once owned a Chrysler Le Baron "K Car" back in the day.

  Never had it long as the engine was consistently losing oil.

  Traded it in for a Ford Taurus which lasted much longer.

  Mine was a dakota. Constant coolant problems. And sensors. I think the only reason there still in buisness. Is they will just about finance anybody. 😂

  My last Taurus was a 2003. Put 224,000 miles on it and had no problems in 11 years.

  

  List Pick 3 singles by low sums, high sums. Separate each sum row by consecutive pair and non consecutive pair combos. These 3 pair groups. 14 17 47, 25 28 58, 36 39 69 are in 63 combos. 54 combos do not have them. Which sums do the 3 pair groups appear and not appear? Look at root sum groups 147, 258, 369. Play accordingly.

  I was stationed in Germany in the US Army i8n the 1970s. There was a German Ford, a Taunus, Tanaus not Taurus. Those cars were mkade to last. GI's that had them would sell thgem to GIs arriving as the Tau8nmus owne4s wwere rotationg back to the state, one leaving and one arriving nbd 2 to 3 years later the one leaving would sello it to anothger juust arriving. Those cars just went on for years.

  The sales figures used are in dollars, not tickets.

  $5 for a single Mega Millions lottery ticket is insane. In Florida we can buy a $5 grouper and get a $3 lotto, $1 Jackpot triple play, a free $1 fantasy , and a  $1 straight pick 4. We can buy a $2 lotto, $2 Powerball, and a $1 fantasy 5 ticket for $5 The lottery commission is out of their minds charging $5 for a single Mega Millions ticket when we can get more tickets for the same price.
