$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
I would like to make special mention of the #24 jackpot on the annuity list, since it is close to falling off the list. Long-timers here may remember what an incredible watershed time that was, when Mega Millions hit $656 million. By the afternoon of the drawing, the jackpot was bumped up to $640 million. Check out the level of excitement in the story and comments: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/244310 By draw time, when the final sales were calculated, the jackpot settled at $65

$1.1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot increased in longest-ever winless streakReply
When you look at the top 11 jackpots on the list, it looks like it's taking more rolls for this current jackpot to grow. Any expert on the subject? Is it the federal rates or something like that? Either way, I would still be happy to win it regardless of the number of rolls. I would even forget what roll it's at

Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply
1-MM should bring the price back down to $1. You want wide public participation in this type of game to pump the jackpot up. 2-most of lottery players are low-income people. 3-play the game three times / week like PB has done (T-R-Sun). 4-$1 price wouldn't make people to think twice about spending money to play the 1:292M odds (I'll try my luck with chump changes). 5-take 45% cut of the jackpot instead of 60% (return some of the money back to those initial jackpots).

Why do you have to make those stupid comments about disgusting sandwiches all the time?

Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
It would also grant the Lottery the ability to deny a claim for a winning lottery or sports wager ticket if it was found to have been purchased in relation to a bulk transaction. I don't agree with this. It's the lottery's job to shut down so-called bulk ticket retailers, not collect all this money and then deny payment. That's what Texas tried to do to a winner and she had to sue them to collect. If they want to make their lottery unattractive to bulk ticket purchasers when the jackpot

Data breach at lottery tech vendor Brightstar exposes personal info of over 100,000 individualsReply
Mega Millions Price hike : In April 2025, the price of a Mega Millions ticket more than doubled, increasing from $2 to $5. This price jump was not well-received by many customers, leading them to stop playing. While the overall dollar intake and lottery profits have increased in some areas, the number of tickets sold has dropped significantly. The sharp downward trend, according to Mass Lottery Executive Director Mark William Bracken, can be traced directly to the size or rather the lack th
