Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I haven't touched Mega Millions since the price hike in April. I used to be a consistent 1 ticket per drawing player prior to that. It's sort of become irrelevant from my perspective. It started as $1 and a dream. Then it became $2 and a distant hope. Now it's $5 and a hard pass. Good luck to everyone with the upcoming drawings. Seems like a few of these jackpots have been rolling over for a while. Would be nice if someone finally won them.

$50 for a scratcher? As W. C. Fields has said You can fool some of the people some of the time -- and that's enough to make a decent living. It seems like Mega Millions listened to W. C. Fields very carefully, but lots of us know that now... Best wishes for a $2 Powerball win.

Our pool is back to the winning side. We won $10 in yesterday's Powerball draw. More money to buy more tickets. Good luck to everyone playing either Mega Millions or Powerball.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Even though Powerball is clearly winning this race, the Powerball jackpot is growing at much lower rates than its record runs. Lottery sales for the big national games are down. This is probably the main reason the Mega Millions game was recently changed. Many of the Powerball records were set when the draws were held twice a week. When they went to three draws per week, naturally sales per draw went down. The current Powerball jackpot at $426 million was reached after 27 rolls. But, the 27

It appears many do not understand the jackpot has only been growing by the minimum $10 million per draw in order for sales to fully support the jackpot. For a place that's all about the lottery a lot of people here don't seem to know much about how things work. The jackpot for the Friday, August 1 draw will probably be around $140 million and will be fully supported by sales (or very close at least). It will be $140, and the supported jackpot is $139,672,438 (I love how the estimat

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
There has been a lot of focus on how slowly the Mega Millions jackpot is growing. It appears many do not understand the jackpot has only been growing by the minimum $10 million per draw in order for sales to fully support the jackpot. It takes longer than usual because of the unusually large starting jackpot of $50 million. This is the largest starting jackpot of any lottery game in the whole world. There is no game anywhere in the world that has a starting jackpot that large. So naturally, it w

Powerball to Mega millions Catch me if you can There is a clean 100M difference on the two advertised jackpots, lets see what MM is made of, if it can catch up to PB if no one wins PB in the race. For MM to be won at the 300M mark, not sure about the bigger jackpots advertising - maybe it's too early. Onward we go.

Buying MM or PB lottery ticketsReply
Well, well. Someone in TX won $100,000 on MM's 4/5 with Megaball and 10X. They don't say where the ticket was sold. They only post that for 1st and 2nd prize.

This thread is anti-MM and has been from the very beginning. The first post reads: I've stopped playing Mega Millions completely. The automagic multiplier does not impress. The odds are a mess. I'll play the others for less.
