my idea for a multi-state lotteryReply
My idea is to have a game that costs $1.00. The buy 5, get one free is similar to promotions that lotteries run, but make this a permanent part of the game. For those who don't mind spending $5 on a progressive draw game, they get an extra chance to win. $20 million isn't as much as hundreds of millions, but it's still life-changing. It's about the same as MM starting jackpot but without the absurdly low chances of winning. 1 in 18 million instead of 1 in 300 million. More frequent winners i

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
We have our pool tickets for the next Mega Millions draw. This time we got one ticket with a 5 times multiplier and one ticket with a 10 times multiplier. It is great getting the bigger multipliers but we need them to hit. We had a lot of larger multipliers in the previous draw but none of them hit. I may be the only one on this site that likes the Mega Millions game. There is a simple reason why I like the game. It costs me very little to play and there is the potential to win a life chang

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Was there Another $10 million scheduled rollover for the MM???. Is that number 9 ? They may want to consider just changing the game to an RNG, so they can save money and not prop up the rollovers for those that participate.

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

Lucky For Life to Millionaire For Life - $5 TicketReply
I re-did the calculations and it's the typical draw game, in terms of payback %. But it is still far better than MM, in my opinion. Here's why: Probability of winning the top prize is just over 12 times better. $18 million (or the annuity of $1 million/year) is still life-changing money. M4L (Millionaire for Life) has no silly multipliers. You win exactly what it says on the prize chart for matching x number of balls. MM (and PB) is a progressive jackpot game, which is why it can

Powerball sales in Australia and New Zealand.Reply
Exactly. Our Powerball is easier to win than yours and the jackpots are still life changing. One person just won $30 million this past thursday night. Another person won $60 million a few weeks ago. The way I see it, any millions is better than none and play whichever game(s) have the lowest odds of winning.

comparison of PB and MM
Because these two games have different prices, in order to compare the two games, let's say I wish to spend $10 (the smallest amount with which I can buy a whole number of tickets for either game). I am only considering PB with no multiplier for $1 extra. Personally, I consider the multiplier option a waste of money. If I want to spend more money on lottery tickets, I'll just buy more of them. For $10, I can buy 2 MM tickets, or I can buy 5 PB tickets. Both games have similar probabiliti
