Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I stopped playing the Mega Millions after the price of tickets increased to $5. I play the Powerball every drawing, because I predict that Powerball will eventually raise the price of tickets to $5 to compete with Mega Millions. Lets face it, you know Mega Millions is now increasing their revenue with the jackpot at $800 million, because most people will buy at least one ticket even if the price is at $5.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $16 million to $166 million. This is the first time in this run the jackpot increased more than the minimum.

The Mega Millions jackpot reached $166 million after 11 rolls. I

Mega Millions constant $10 million increases

Twenty years. Same numbers. Winning next to nothing. I am astounded that you played the same numbers for twenty years. I am impressed by your persistence and patience. I am actually curious. Did you play the same numbers for Powerball, Mega Millions, and the other lotteries in your state? I would think that those numbers would eventually at least come close to win a smaller prize in one of those games over that length of time. I used to get excited when jackpots where high. No

they've got it wrong. greed has made them blind to the fact that this kind of games would need widest participation. 1-return money back to the public by cutting down the 60% tax to 40% 2-I agree to bring back a dollar and a dream (increase the second tier prize to $2 million from the 60% tax reduction). ========================================/ The price increase of Mega Millions tickets from $2 to $5 was decided by the Mega Millions Consortium , which is the governing body of t

The Mega Millions jackpot is growing faster because sales for the game are higher than Powerball sales.

Yep, says it right there: Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play? One of the choices: No - None Nearly 57% of players are not playing Mega Millions. Great to see many not buying in to it. Hopefully, you're like us and choosing a less expensive alternative like Lotto America or Powerball. We've been saving hundreds; possibly thousands, by not playing Mega Millions.

20 million is the standard rollover increase I expect from a MUSL game. Mega millions is at a healthy rollover amount.
