Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
https://lite.cnn.com/2025/12/13/business/powerball-billion-dollar-jackpot-mega-millions Sounds to me like the author doesn't know much about how lotteries work or appreciate that the results of just 3 or 4 jackpot runs may not be representative.

Five dollar MM
For all the resentment here about MM being five dollars what other five dollar bet could bring in what the MM jackpots are?
