Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Well folks.......should there be a rollover of the Measly Millions tonight from the advertised jackpot of $400 Million Annuity/$185.8 Million CASH , any guesses as to the next dollar amount it goes to ? I did not see anything posted on the TX website for calculations as of this time so I am going with $18 Million for the rollover increase. Good luck to all who are participating in tonights draw.

Being from the volunteer state..... I prefer option #1; Tennessee: No state tax on lottery prizes. Your 1 time Lump Sum net payout after Fed Taxes: $520,707,938 ------------- *Option 1 Your ANNUITY average net per year after Fed Taxes: $37,875,938 After 30 payments you net a grand total of: $1,136,278,140 (provided FED taxes remain at 37% for the next 29 years) https://www.usamega.com/powerball/jackpot/annuity/tn/2025/9/6/married-filing-jointly

I'm sure the jackpot frenzy will adjust it a bit but it will be interesting to see how it plays out! I'm pretty sure that even the people at PB aren't all that sure exactly how things could go. Right now they're forecasting a $100 million increase, but since last night finished at 1.03 billion that means their first estimate for Monday is really 1.13. Those Friday worksheets are created about a day and a half before the drawing, but if they ever announced the next jackpot with different num

If it rolls from Saturday, our best estimate puts the PB Jackpot Annuity at $1.03 Billion . I'll be very surprised if it's not bigger than that if it rolls on Saturday. The increase from last Saturday to Monday was $60.9 million, so it would be very unusual if this Saturday to next Monday wasn't bigger. The increase from Monday to Wednesday was $83.4 million, so the increase to Saturday will almost certainly be bigger. Starting from Wednesdays final tally of $860.1 the same increase of

Mega Millions Drawing IncreaseReply
i'd guess it's a jackpot (annuity) amount payout that could be supported by the actual sales. since the supported amount is a little lower than the advertised amount, it means the jackpot is a bit underfunded. but the gap between supported and advertised looks to be shrinking with each drawing, so by the time someone wins it will probably be ok.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Looks to me like we'll have the minimum rollovers through 130 and then probably a hair better than 140, followed by 156ish for drawing # 11. Last time around they advertised 154 for drawing # 10, so this time it's running about 1 drawing behind the last run. But wait, there's more. Interest rates are up a bit, so the cash values are a bit farther behind. The last time around the advertised $154 million annuity was worth $69 million. Based on the current rates for Tuesday's drawing a $154 mil

Hmm, divide the Annuity by the Cash and we get a ratio. Multiply by 100% and we get the Annuity to Cash Ratio %. In the previous $2.00 run things look normal. Now with the $5.00 run we get this peculiar run... Interesting...

Lucky For Life to Millionaire For Life - $5 TicketReply
The difference between Lucky for Life $2 and Millionaire for Life $5 is nothing like the difference between old MM $2 and new MM $5. New MM $5 is a horrible game. It's not just the price of $5, it's what you get for that five bucks. Lucky for Life $2 has a 1 in 30 million chance of winning the top prize. Millionaire for Life improves that to 1 in 23 million. The ticket costs 2.5 times as much but the top prize is more than 2.5 times as much... 2.74 times as much as an annuity, or 3.13 ti

MM $5, PB $2, Powerplay $1IReply
None of the other games charge $5 to pretend to be something they are not! Would it make you happy if pick 3 was $5 and had a $1,000,000,000,000 annuity jackpot that had 50 quintillion to 1 odds of hitting and paid the annuity out at a dime a year for ten trillion years? and a second prize of $10,000,000 with 672 trillion to 1 odds of hitting? I'm sure the state lottery commissions would love to have you as a customer on that ticket too! It looks to me like you are not c
