It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
Interesting, someone else not too long ago posted that ticket sales were less but revenue was up because of the increase in the ticket price.

Sure. It's definitely possible that The Florida Lottery changed the percentage of net sales allocated to the winners prize pool. (50%) They could have even changed the percentage of the winners prize pool allocated to the top prize. (62%) But that's not what they did or what happened at all. From reading Fantasy5's Official Rules I didn't see any percentages that changed when the midday drawing was added. It's also true that net sales for FF5 could be down in general these days due to player

Why the 2 draws down about 5 and 10 million about 3 weeks ago? I think the good question that even the MM people might not have an answer to is why a few drawing had a bigger jump even though the jackpot wasn't very big yet. There's a suggestion that it's a result of the huge PB jackpot, but I only have some unsupported guesses about why the PB jackpot increased MM sales. I think the big drops were simply a correction to unusually high sales. Lets say the odds for each of the next fours

I assume the left column on your spreadsheet is sales. It drops $5 million and then $10 million.

Please explain what you are referring to. Are you talking about a reduction in sales, annuity value or cash value?

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

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. A roll (about a 75% chance) will see an advertised annuity of 1.3 and the worksheet is currently listing the supported jackpot as $1.323 billion. The supported jackpot estimate almost certainly
