Players always make statements like Oh I should have played this # or that #.

You can't look back after the draw.Coulda ,Woulda,Shoulda.

Yeah, whatever,Been there done that.

Almost all players do this. So why post about it

The Missouri Lottery was so proud they posted the winning location (St. Louis County gas station, close to Illinois side so could be an Illinois winner).

JustMaybe - I didn't have one number so congrats to you on your PB win

MM had a few good frenzies, but they bleeped that up by jacking the price

I don't think there will be a MM frenzy. At $5 a ticket, I can't see it happening. All I keep thinking is, I can buy 2 PB tickets for the price of one MM ticket. If the jackpot does get into the billions, I will most likely only buy 2 tickets. At that time the PB jackpot will be a really good size again.

Sorry but being out 44 dollars after spending 60 for Saturdays Powerball ....I won't be springing a 5er for MegaMillions until it reaches 500 mil. Unless I get a little itchy and break my discipline before ...and of course it might be won before I decide it's time to jump in.

Greedy,?

You betcha .....but it's not cheep to buy MM tickets now so I gotta be picky.

Later

I agree with Noise-Gate. Us Californian's congratulated the Texas Missouri winners. We actually care about fellow americans that don't live in California. Say's alot about other LP members Hope it's not California posters. Says more about you than us Californian's. Imagine wishing ill will on fellow american's because they live in a state you don't personally like. Pathetic sad.

* l raised this very issue with a member my post was greeted with venom. Supposedly CA is a sucker State to some. Our only purpose is to pour millions into every jackpot but once the balls start spinning, CA lottery players need to get lost.

No MM for you, one year! Next

Because I always hear people complaining of only California winners when there's jackpot anticipation.

No MM $5 ticket purchase for me until it reaches $1 billion.

That's a good lucky start for your lottery hopes.

Congrats!

If only the powerplay last night was five instead of two I could have recovered two thirds of the $$$ I spent. Oh well , better luck next time

SoCola — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 01:17:03 GMT

It wasn't won in California so why would anyone be talking about California?

im glad it was won where all the flooding in Texas was, hopefully it's someone local to that area.

goldfish777 — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 01:09:18 GMT

The people always whining about California always winning are awfully quiet!

Congratulations to the wealthy winners! I hope they will collect anonymously

SoCola — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 00:28:03 GMT

I was in a no tax state today that lets players stay anonymous so I bought a single line for MM for 10 draws which is as far out as they sell them and got the 10x multiplier. I'm marking that in the good luck column.

KY Floyd — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 21:43:33 GMT

Right now the $164.5 million cash value of MM is 45.95% of the $358 million annuity. With the annuity at 35.8% of 1 billion the cash value at the same interest rate has to be $164.5 / .358 for a $1 billion annuity. That's $459.5 million.

Flipping it around, it will take a hair under 2.8 times as much money for 1 billion as for 358 million. Total sales through Saturday are forecast to be $609,162,600 and 121,832,520 tickets. 2.8 time that is 340,314,302 tickets (and total revenue of just over... [ More ]

why does the missouri lottery have to wait 72 hours? is it a privacy law they have? to give the winner 72 hours to get out of dodge before nosy people start sniffing around trying to find out who the winner is

Comment #18

ShagE3 — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 18:56:27 GMT

Just remember folks ..... It's a lot less expensive to buy prepare and eat an liverwurst or OLIVELOAF sandwich than it is to purchase a megamillion ticket. And at least you have a full stomach as opposed to an empty wallet.

P.S.: ......

P.U.!!!

Who did it?

Was it you?

Or maybe it was you?

Fess up

Mega Millions does not command my lottery investing monies simply because of the price point. Have not played since it changed.

Droptop209 — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 18:47:10 GMT

It's been fun with the frenzy high PB jackpot. For me i'm just gonna play CA SuperLotto until that gets hit and see where things are after that.

Perfecttiming2 — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 18:35:47 GMT

This is interesting....

It will be 30 more draws on MM before Christmas 2025...

(Right now it is at 19 draws with est. $358M)

Now I am curious to see how many draws it will take for a new record.

Congrats! See you when the MM hits 1 billion+. Can anyone work out the math how many tickets that would be and what percentage of the possible numbers MM would reach with $500,000,000 in sales

Powerball765 — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 14:53:07 GMT

l won only $8 on Powerball 17 . But am not too worried l believe Mega Millions is the only Voyage that once the frenzy starts can grow to $4,500,000,000 .

This is what makes Mega millions Dangerous it may look slow at moment but once it picks up speed at $1,000,000,000 it will grow twice as fast as powerball and people will be Shocked by the Speed zoom

To Buy fifty percent of Powerball possibilities cost $300,000,000 but to buy fifty percent of mega millions possibilities will cost $750,... [ More ]

A few more rollovers and Megamillions will be in frenzy territory. Buckle up

Powerball has been won in Ohio 5 times. Mega Millions has been won 19 times in the state, including its latest win on April 18, 2025 .

It was a great run and I am glad I got to participate. Kudos to the 2 jackpot winners and hopefully some of the LP family were involved in the 2nd place prize plethora.

Good luck to all on your next lottery purchase.

Last night, after 41 consecutive drawings without a winner, the multi-state Powerball lottery game finally produced a winner on the 42nd try, resulting in two tickets sharing a jackpot worth $1.7874 billion in 30 payments over 29 ye... [ More ]
