PB might be pulling ahead soon with its $102m prize.

We know Hot Lotto will be expanding next year. As for Lotto South, AFAIK South Carolina appears to be its first new state.

My guess is since Mega Millions has yet to reach $200 million, the seven states that sold Big Game have seen a decrease in sales, since BG had two jackpots over $300 million. The three states that joined since have never offered a $200m prize.

The way I see it you have two basic choices with Evil. You can either kill it, or have fun with it.

the big game - mega's predecessor held that big jackpot and the big game only had 7 member states. megamillions has never had a bigger jackpot than 180 and new york, ohio and washington joined after the rule changes and other changes from the big game to megamillions. in fact most jackpots on mega have been very small (35 or so) and the three biggest jackpots have been 180, 165 and 125 excluding the current run. powerballs biggest by comparison have been 300, 240 and 140 after their rules change...

My vote goes for Mega Millions. I know I'm gonna get flammed for saying this but even with only 10 member states (soon to be 11 with Texas), Mega Million still holds the North American record for the largest jackpot ever won - $363 million. I understand why they have their record, probably because of a lower odds of winning with 1/52 mega ball, where powerball only has 1/42 powerball, which highly increases the changes of winning the jackpot. But hey I am in the position where I can put on mon... [ More ]

I chase PB, but only when it gets high. Like others, I don't have a choice as to which to play, however, for a different reason....as a contractor with the VA Lottery (at least until the contract ends Jan. 1), I am barred from playing MM. So, DC and WV get my PB bucks....

I wish Connecticut would try Hot Lotto . I've been concentrating on MM the last few months (two $150 wins in July).

Me like Visiondude... Makes no difference where I get lump. But mostly play MM. And PB when pot gets 100M or more. It's just too difficult to ride into DC to get ticket.Chief Watch out for Buffalo stampede when Chief wins lump-sum.

Both...plus, like Bug, I play the MD lotto. I also the PA Super Six. The PA 6/69 is now $54,900,000 annuity or $32,300,000 cash. I am going to play till someone hits it, then I think I will focus on PA Cash 5 instead.

It's Mega Millions for me, since that's the only Multi State game we have in Michigan. Other than Michigan Games Windfall but only when it gets $5 million.

I still like my 6/49 Maryland Lotto the best. A high enough payout that I could retire, and a lower odds than the bigger games.

Just curious to get a sample of the population... seems MegaMillions is always the hot topic regardless of jackpot size but powerball only gets attention when it's big...how did I vote?... check the signature
