For awhile maybe not....but how mant lotto jackpot games have not had a matrix change?

What used to be 5/30 becomes 5/39, 6/49 becomes 6/52, etc....

Maybe RJOh, Jon D, KY Floyd, or Stack47 has some info. about this.

All MM tickets will now have a 10-digit alphanumeric code at the bottom that must be matched with a non-winning ticket somewhere in the US. That non-winning ticket must be located and verified. The holder of the non-winning, code verified ticket get's 10% of the jackpot.

All of these are very funny! I find it amusing that in Georgia there is a new MM radio and commercial ad going on about how nobody ever complained about winning 15 million dollars. It's so overdramatic.

Update:

The MUSL announced that with the next change to MM 3 of the top matrix numbers will be a ball draw and two will be drawn by a RNG.

The Mega number will be determined by a MUSL official rolling a bowling bowl down an alley at 15 pins, nnumbered 1 to 15 of course. The last pin to go down (one roll) will be the Mega number.

Those running Mega Millions have been studying the new playslips and decided that instead of having five games on one playslip they are just going to have one game and one 'mahooga' matrix!

So after the modification it will be a 5 of 375 and 1 of 75 game.

They also said that 99% of quick picks will simply be the numbers from the previous draw.

The MUSL says Thanks for playing and have a lucky day.

After matching all the numbers correctly you must then locate a specially coded prize validation ticket printed at a lottery terminal to collect the jackpot. It will be available at only one MegaMillions lottery terminal, selected at random within the available terminals within the United States. You have 24 hours to claim your prize before it will be forfeited; 40% to the State that sold the ticket, 40% to the State where the validation ticket was printed, and 20% for privatization factoring.

Those running MM have decided to add Roman numerals to the playslips in addition to the regular numerals.

There will also be Roman numberal balls in the drawings, and in order to win your numbers must match the form the ball is drawn in.

So if you have 5, 12, 23, 29, 36 MB 10 but the drawing is V, XII, XXIII, 29, XXXVI, MB X, sorry about that, no payout for you.

MM says Have A Lucky Day.

Numbers will no longer be printed on tickets. A special code will be printed and you must call a 1-900 number to enter your code to retrieve your numbers. Just $1.99 per minute.

Good stuff everyone, hilarious.

haymaker,

On the back of the Illinois Mega Millions playslips the very last two words are Anything's Possible!

They've used that slogan for awhile but it hasn't ben on playslips until the new MM slips.

PS,

On youtube's VEVO version of the song there's a video that's pretty interesting, tells quite a story in a few minutes, and the chick in it is gorgeous.

Some great suggestions here, especially the secret word symbols.

I'll add decimals and fractions which, of course, also have no way to be entered on a playslip because it would look like Jack Kerouac's roll of paper for his On The Road manuscript.

Today's winning numbers:

3.14 - 11 - 27 3/8 - 57 - 963

Mega Ball - %

Secret Word - pie

No winners this week, but please play again

Yo, CT,

Had to go to youtube to hear it, was'nt sure of the tune you were talking about,

never knew that was by the Moodys

Did you notice the new slogan ?

All you need is luck and a buck

sounds like they're trying to emphasize the fact that they did'nt raise the price.

Once the changes start the official theme for MM will be Your Wildest Dreams by the Moody Blues.

You will have pick symbols also, like those on the keyboard used in passwords to make them harder to hack

Effective immediately all Mega Millions lottery terminals will no longer be accepting betslips. Only quickpicks will be allowed by our very own little controlled Random (?) Number Generator.

*This should fix all of you smart-a_ s system's players

For fun: After the 75# matrix MM's next game change

Coin Toss — Tue, 22 Oct 2013 22:45:20 GMT

Since MM is now a 5/75 - 1/15 game, what do you think the next change will be after this one.

I'm thinking something like this:

Dateline ?,

The MUSL announced today that there will be another change to Mega Millions. There will be a ball that could be drawn with 0 (zero) on it, but there will be no zero on the playslips or on quick picks. So in essence you have a matrix of 75 ro select from but there will be 76 balls to draw from.

The MUSL thanks you for playing and Have A Lucky Day.... [ More ]
