I agree, I like the fact that at certain times during the early stages of each jackpot prize cycle I can choose to add Powerplay option to spice things up ...even if I'm playing only one ticket.

Giving all Mega Millions players the Megaplier option is much like giving winners the choice of cash v annuity.

My personal preference is to see as much money as possible go cleanly into the prize structure without tricks or gimicks to make it harder to win the jackpot. If the multiplier prize money comes out of the multiplier charge, then I'm all for it. If it comes even in part out of the tickets sold prize fund, then it is anti-player.I would like to see lottery games run for the benefit of state and players both.BobP

I would like to see the Megaplier available throughout Mega Millions, just like PowerPlay.

I dont think Todd took it personally. What does this website (http://www.lottoreport.com/MegaplierSales.htm) tell me that I already didnt know? If the lotteries were not making money, do you think they would still be running? If that website tells me anything, it tells me that atleast there are some people out their making money by using the Megaplier that they wouldnt be making otherwise. Not everyone can win the jackpot. The point is, some people prefer to spend that extra dollar on a chan... [ More ]

That is the Web site that tries to create bad news out of everything. I do not go there looking for good ideas, only if you want to feel bad about everything.Saying no to the Megaplier is like saying there should be no Pick 4 game, because you happen to dislike that game.Obviously if Texas is selling so many millions in Megaplier sales, there are a lot of people who like it, so that means that it should continue to be an option. Furthermore, it means that everyone should have that same optio... [ More ]
