Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
winter bird, Calling Mega Millions measly by people who do not have near the jackpots says a lot about those people. Tucker Black, One more time no one is pointing a gun at you and demanding you play.

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
What would have sales been, had the ticket prices remained at $2 over the last 11 1/2 months ? Would there have been more/less than 6 jackpot winners since the restart at $50 million ? Would the jackpots have reached $1 Billion + just one time at the $2 price, instead of taking 40 draws to reach $980 Million(7/01 - 11/14/25) ?

Jackpots actually decreased instead of went up after the price hike. However I must note the secondary prizes are more. A 10 million dollar secondary prize hit for the first time on March 13, 2026.

Who said I hated anybody here? You jump to many conclusions. Preach your 'a nickels worth of a jackpot for five bucks' nonsense to those who have won MM jackpots. I am surprised that you said it's fun to throw away money. I'm not the one with the twisted mind.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I think what winoneday meant was that it was bad luck for the house. In the long run, the average jackpot won will equal the expected value. In a game like this, a drawing every few days with odds of 1 in 300 million, the long run could be many years. In a short period of time, the players can be lucky which means the house (MUSL) is unlucky. Unlike other games like pick 3 or any table game or slot machine in a casino, where more jackpots are good for business because the long run for th

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The pool is going to wait until one of the jackpots gets much larger. We start playing when the jackpot is at least $150 million cash. It makes a difference since the plan is to split the jackpot many ways.

Washington state getting ready to impose huge taxes on lottery jackpots
Just a heads-up to Washington state players: You may go from zero taxes on lottery wins to 9.9% state tax on jackpot wins. This is among the largest state taxes in the country. The Washington state senate passed legislation in the past couple of days to create a new state tax on millionaires , which means lottery jackpot winners. The bill now goes to the state House, and then after that to the governor to sign. What a tragedy. If lower income residents of the state think they're safe

Answer Me This...Reply
When Powerball went to three drawings the jackpots increased about the same every week as before the change for several months despite the fact there was an extra drawing. Then people got used to it or got over their snit at the moneygrubbing lottery (including me) and began to play more $$$. I have a feeling Florida players will do the same.

Answer Me This...Reply
I realize that from a Florida Fantasy5 players perspective going to two draws per day flat out stinks, and that me posting all of the hidden benefits for the Florida Lottery doesn't make it any better for players. However there is one more thing I'd like to say and then I'll stop my long winded rants. I think in 2020 (not sure if that's the correct year or not, but if it's not 2020 then it's close to 2020) The New York Lottery implemented two drawings per day for their Pick5 game, Take5. Tak
