MM $5, PB $2, Powerplay $1I
I just don't get a lot of players. A lot of players resent the $5 for MM, OK but if PB goes to $5 it will sure get interesting. As for Powerplay on PB one more dollar has the potential to win one more million dollars yet few play it. Granted most players want to turn a toothpick into a lumberyard but why the reluctance to playing an extra dollar? The MUSL loves the fact that most players don't spring for the extra buck. Let's say on a given drawing 12 people hit the 5 top numbers but none of the

Lucky For Life to Millionaire For Life - $5 TicketReply
I've been reading the posts in this thread and it seems to me that the consensus of opinion is most people intend to play Millionaire4Life despite the $5 per line price tag. In other threads about paying $5 for one line of MM, many players say the game is doomed at that price point. I think an important point is being over looked by many players. In the gaming industry, Las Vegas, MUSL and state lottery's have something in common. The house always wins because the house can afford to lose. T

Is it fair to say, that since the lottery proceeds does not enrich MUSL, but is meant to support worthy causes like education, veterans, seniors, environment etc. Is it then fair to say when the jackpot is won early, the bad luck is on the worthy causes ?

Gee maybe those here who don't like MM and won't play it could keep it at that, we get it you don't like MM any more. MUSL probably monitors this site and if so does anyone think they are going to lower the price? Has any lottery ever done that?

MM $5, PB $2, Powerplay $1IReply
Tucker Black, thanks for the reply. Just different ways of looking at things, I'm looking at it as it's much more likely for a player to win on the gimmick considering the 292.2 million odds. I'm guessing those who win $1M as opposed to an additional million are kind of haunted or plagued by the thought of not having played one more dollar. I'm also guessing MUSL motors this site and is getting a kick out of this.

If MUSL didn't like Powerplay, they would get rid of it. They love it because it has a profit margin of 50%. If 12 people win the 2nd place prize with its 1 in 11 million chance of winning, that would imply 140 million tickets sold. At the rate of $1 extra per ticket for Powerplay, that's $140 million in gross revenue. MUSL would much rather bring in $140 million in gross revenue and pay out $12 million extra (plus more on the lower prizes). Most people (including me) don't pay extra

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Anyone willing to guess the next increase on the Measly Millions when it rolls over tonight ? According to Jades chart up above, my best guess will be $23M.The TX lottery hasn't posted their projections for the next increase yet. Even with 4 days in between draws, I just don't believe it will do $24M+ for the next draw on 9/16. Could be wrong but the MUSL kids redesigned this toy for minimal increases. Good luck to all that have purchased a ticket for tonights draw.

While the revenue is being talked about and consideration is being given to what percent is being generated at a certain dollar value, people are also not including the starting point of $50 Million which, IMHO, is another bells and whistles gimmick in this new improved MM version from MUSL. Starting at $50M already puts you up 2+ draws on any previous jackpot, whether its the MM or the PB in the last decade plus. https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Games/Mega_Millions/Estimat
