Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Texas lottery has it at 1.15 currently. Just to clarify, none of the places I checked, including the TX website, is advertising 1.15. The worksheet with the sales estimates OTOH, is now saying he supported annuity is 1.155, and the sales forecast has been bumped up from $133 million to $162 million.

mathematics of re-playing small winsReply
Powerball is a game where you should just assume you are going to lose, and if you do win a small amount, $100 or less, it's a consolation prize . If I won $100, I would go to Texas RoadHouse and spend $50 on a steak

Numbers submitting Cutoff TimeReply
That's called buying a jackpot. It happened in Texas recently. That has nothing to do with ticket purchase cutoff time.

Going on a two week vacation road trip from 7/6 to 7/20, passing through Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming.

$77,058 hit by 27 players CA Fantasy 5Reply
That's why you don't pick sequences, patterns on the playslip, or lucky numbers 7 and 11 and birthday numbers (1 to 31). If you win, you'll be sharing it with lots of other people who did the same thing. I remember when this happened once many years ago in Texas. The winning numbers were 7, 11 and low numbers = 31. Lots of people split the jackpot.

Lottery Numbers Aren't Meant To Be RandomReply
So, your new answer after your first flopped where you said its because they wanted to make sure the machine is working properly. Now, you have a revised answer: 'because people don't trust the lottery.' [Pausing for a moment of laughter] Oh boy.... ! Anyway, you might want to revised that answer for a 3rd attempt because the Texas Lottery only show a live drawing .....they never show the pre-test process. And have no intention of doing so. So from here, you j

Is the Annuity payout safe?Reply
