MM $5, PB $2, Powerplay $1IReply
I think it would be really stupid for Powerball to do the same thing and make their game terrible as well. How stupid it is depends on how stupid their target demographic is. So far, for any advertised jackpot at $5 per ticket MM is collecting more revenue than they did at $2 per ticket. If sales remain relatively modest even when it goes up another 200, 500 or 800 million they might lose out in the long run due to a higher percentage of drawings with sales of $20 to $50 million, but in the

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Here is further evidence Powerball is still winning the race. ... After 5 Mega Millions draws .. PB has fairly consistently grown faster than MM, including under the $2 per ticket format, because of the 3rd weekly drawing, with short variations when MM has a really big jackpot. The consensus seems to be that Sunday drawing are unlikely, so MM has to work with just the 2 drawings per week. The differences you're comparing are advertised jackpots of 358 vs 20 and 474 vs 145. Over those drawin

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
It will prolly be a little higher for Friday. Like with PB and TX Lotto having the largest jackpots for the week on Saturday, MM has the largest jackpot on Friday. A lot if not most players wait for the last draw of the week to play.

LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #4Reply
If I could only play one game the rest of my life I think it would be Fantasy 5. The reason is because you only need 5 balls to match to win and also the jackpots still get reasonably high. (Gets into 6 figures.) I think this lottery has good odds.

You're welcome. I have one Powerball and a couple of Super Lotto Plus tickets for tomorrow. If it can't be me, then I hope it's one of us. Watching these jackpots roll for months can make them boring despite the jackpot sizes growing to ridiculous amounts.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
There is a lot of discussion on how the Mega Millions jackpot is growing so slowly. But the reality is, both the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are growing slowly. Currently, the Mega Millions jackpot is growing more slowly than the Powerball jackpot simply because the Powerball jackpot is much larger - about three times as large. The current Powerball jackpot at $700 million was reached after 35 rolls. The 35 roll record for Powerball is a whopping $1.76 billion - over twice as large as t

I do chuckle at the MM statement they put in their news release on 3/25/25: The game will feature bigger prizes at every non-jackpot prize tier, better odds to win the jackpot, better odds overall, larger starting jackpots, and faster-growing jackpots. Starting at $50 Million didn't seem to energize much needed sales to support that claim. Let's see if the sticker shock of 150% increase wears off after a year or as one poster put it, they have a few runs that go for 30 drawings or more .

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Lottery sales for the big national games are down. This is probably the main reason the Mega Millions game was recently changed. Even on my worst days I'm not nearly stupid enough to think they wouldn't have tried messing with the game even if sales were still what they were 3 to 5 years ago, but the change was definitely an attempt to increase sales. So far the sales per drawing have been consistently higher than shortly before the change for the jackpots values we've seen, and sales f
