It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
How do you figures they took a loss when even when a jackpot is hit the lottery keeps about 50% of what comes in? That also includes keeping 50% of what came in while paying out previous jackpots not to mention what came in when paying no jackpots.

would you play a multi country lottery?Reply
I have bought multi country lottery tickets as part of a pool. The pool bought Euro Millions and Euro Jackpot tickets when there have been bonus draws with huge jackpots. The jackpots were well over $100 million and the odds are better than both Powerball and Mega Millions.

Answer Me This...
There are some very smart folks who are a lot smarter than I am that routinely post here. Maybe they could weigh in and answer a question for me. A couple of years ago, The Florida Lottery added a midday drawing to their very popular daily Fantasy5 online game. All that did was lower jackpot amounts dramatically. Until that change, daily jackpots were in the $200,000 range. (When the Snowbirds landed in Florida, jackpots climbed to a range of $230,000 to $235,000.) Even in Snowbird seaso

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
Actually having two games and letting the players pick may be worse right now. As happens so often, I think this is another case of players somehow failing to understand that the point of a lottery is to raise revenue for the entity that runs the lottery. Maybe MUSL could collect a modest fee from the UK for licensing the Powerball name, but the real money is from selling tickets. Their obvious goal is to gain players so that jackpots will grow more rapidly, because sales are better whe

A couple of years ago, The Florida Lottery added a midday drawing ... these days the midday drawing offers ... What happened to jackpots immediately after they added the midday drawings?

Lottery sales for games that are exactly the same as they were a few years ago are also down. Declining sales is why MM costs $5 now, and likely why FL added midday drawings. It's als

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
https://lite.cnn.com/2025/12/13/business/powerball-billion-dollar-jackpot-mega-millions Sounds to me like the author doesn't know much about how lotteries work or appreciate that the results of just 3 or 4 jackpot runs may not be representative. The headline screams that he's missing the clue that even if PB sales were up (they're not) due to MM's price increase it's still probability that results in billion jackpots. The average PB jackpot should have a cash value of about $195 million

Tell that to those who have won MM jackpots. How do think they would respond?
