Mega Millions jackpot closes in on $1 billionReply
I'd tell you NO! That's because I abandoned MM for PB a long time ago due to the fact that PB's odds were lower. (Not sure if that's still true after the last change to MM) Call me a creature of habit, but after I abandoned MM I simply stuck with PB and completely ignored MM. The other thing for me personally is that I'm trying for a second place win no matter what the advertised jackpot may be. When I buy a ticket I typically don't know (nor do I care) what the jackpot amount is. I do

Lottery Post's guide to 2025 holiday raffles across the USAReply
I have 4 Michigan Super raffle tickets :) looking forward to the drawing in a couple weeks. Looks like we are going to have a little break on the odds since most likely this will not be a sell out with such slow sales. I also have 10 Idaho holiday raffle tickets. And after spending the day in Yellowstone I am currently in Montana ready to buy my Raffle tickets first thing in the morning before they sell out. Good luck everyone on your raffle purchases Cheers!

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
I have been studying the game and working on a play list for Lucky For Life for the last couple of weeks. It now seems like my labor will be for nothing. It looks like this new game will have about 2 1/2 times worse odds for a 5 number hit *and* will have a 2 1/2 times higher ticket cost. Do the lottery people actually think nobody will notice? May the Deity of the players choice have mercy on those who fall for this because the lottery people will not. *** SMOOCH *** I have ju

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
Aren't the Fast Play tickets only computer generated? Or am I missing something? The problem with bulk purchasing like in case of Lotto Texas came from a group buying up individual combinations which were manually entered. On the contrary, Fast Play tickets are computer generated so there's no way to ensure an individual or group can actually cover all the combinations. So while it helps to some extent to even out the odds, it doesn't really make any significant difference like the AZ Lo

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
With odds of 22 million to 1 people will actually win this game. This, so far, appears to be a way better deal for 5 bucks than the idiotic new Mega Millions. 5 bucks for a game that people actually win should get sales going but let's just see how many draws per week they do. If it's 7 then that might be where they run into a problem on this one. Two or three draws per week might be better so players don't feel like they are getting milked. I'm looking forward to the details because

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
