Education: In reality lottery money appears to go into education but somewhere else in the state budget or in the education system itself an equal or greater amount than what 'went in' to education is taken out.

You can only find this out via non-lottery sources.

Nope, just this forum. Thanks for your concern, but I do have a job and a life.

If I responded to every post, my post count would be far higher. Like most of what you write, you are incorrect. Look it up -- you make more than double avg posts/day than I do. What really matters is the signal to noise ratio, which in your case is the opposite of post count -- really low.

I'm aware of that. You were implying that Megamillions was taking a larger share of sales, resulting in the jackpot being less than what it should be.

Here you go Elmer Fudd..... portion of Mega Millions ticket sales revenue does go to the states that participate in the lottery.

Here's how it generally works

Mega Millions and Powerball: For these large, multi-state lotteries, 50% of the sales revenue goes into the prize pool to fund winnings. States' Share: The remaining 50% is allocated to participating states. A Mega Millions spokesperson told ABC News that this remaining 50% covers retailers' commissions, vendor fees, lottery admin...

i'd guess it's a jackpot (annuity) amount payout that could be supported by the actual sales. since the supported amount is a little lower than the advertised amount, it means the jackpot is a bit underfunded. but the gap between supported and advertised looks to be shrinking with each drawing, so by the time someone wins it will probably be ok.

I am not knowledgeable on a couple of those categories on that worksheet page including the supported jackpot 'cummulative aspects. You might want to send a note to the TX lottery for clarification on that document.

Mega Millions Drawing Increase

I do not see anything sketchy at all with the exact ten million increase after each draw. Especially after the increase to $5 a ticket. Nope it is not suspicious in the least, it is all on the up and up.
