$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
What made the drawing so special, IMHO is the amount of comments that came on LP. Todd correct me if I'm wrong but memory serves it was the sheer volume of commenters. Now perhaps lottery fatigue comes in to play.

Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply
Thank you Todd for the information. Now to back to CA on the $775 million Powerball Wednesday. Normally in all other states one would receive $1 million for having five #'s....but not good old CA. Their Powerball paid $255,789. Grant it, sometimes as in the case of the MM winner, it is much higher!

Lottery Post's guide to 2025 holiday raffles across the USAReply
Lottery fatigue 101! Todd/Kate would have to provide the specifics. It was the first time a lottery was in the Stratosphere and LP had over 600 comments... many moons ago.

$1.8 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now second-largest ever as ticket sales surge across the USAReply
* Good question: But one can also think of early explorers who decided to launch their ships wondering whether they would ever see land again. It's a chance at something or nothing, it's why we called the Land of the brave. * Take Todd for example: How long did the idea of creating LP percolate in his mind before his vision ultimately took form? As they say Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Now let's go out there win something!

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
Hey Todd related adjacent to the Arizona Lottery, you have the tax rate for AZ on the analysis page set at 2.5% That's the income tax rate but lottery winnings are currently taxed at 4.5% for AZ residents and 6% out of state residents They passed the tax correction act in May so lottery winnings will be taxed at 2.5% but not until mid September

Mississippi Lottery halts Cash 3 triple payout promotion one week inReply
Thanks Todd Has any other state lottery suspended sales for a game because of too many winners? Everything about this promotion is weird where a game with a house edge of 50% is flipped so the players have a 50% edge.

Persistent Kentucky man wins $150,000 Powerball lottery prize: "It's just a dollar."Reply
Hi GiveFive, Your inbox is full btw. How are you? I miss reading your post on F5. Todd closed the thread likely due to inactivity. Are you still playing F5 religiously? Both draws midday and evening? In all honesty i don't believe you can predict future draws based on trends. But i liked to read on the trends you picked up on. I know the top prize is lower than ideal. Any decent wins (4 of 5) so far? I've been lucky to get 4 of 5 once.

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
Yep it's not even a top 25 jackpot per the cash value. My current buy ins at these after tax jackpots and ticket prices are $750,000,000 for Powerball and 2,500,000,000 for mega millions. Maybe Todd can start a Jokepot list starting with this one as the number one Jokepot. There are plenty of other games to play until the Jokepots get high enough To buy into
