No winner again: Powerball jackpot hits $1.6 billion in longest-ever rollover runReply
I just want to give a shout out to the Powerball, keep things going the way it is and you'll be fine! Regardless of record rollovers currently at 45, it's something about the sweet spot price $2 for a ticket that sit well with me and hundreds of Americans, I'm sure. If you do anything similar to Greedy Mega Millions you will be doomed. I hope everyone like me and never play $5 a ticket at that price while game rolling every $10 million. It's disgusting! I will say I was a little frustrated when

$1.5 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot fuels rush for ticketsReply
I hope it actually gets to $3 Billion so when I or someone hit it we can literally see someone walk away as a billionaire after cash option and taxes. That's what it's going to take. Everyone keep calling the record jackpot winner a billionaire and he's not. After winning the 2.034 Billion he ended up with $400 something million after taxes and everything and that great but in reality he's not a billionaire. Their level to this so I have a feeling it's going to break the California record and th

Mega Millions jackpot closes in on $1 billionReply
The rush of ticket sales over the next few days may propel the jackpot to an even higher amount before the drawing tales place. Now that's funny. Ever since Mega Millions jacked up the price to $5.00, sales have crashed. There is no rush. The last time we were around $1,000,000,000 was when the ticket cost $2.00 and they sold 100,000,000 tickets. For Tuesday 11/11/2025 Mega Millions drawing only 19 million tickets were sold. There won't be any rush as many people can't afford $5

Michigan man claims record $32.9 million Lotto 47 jackpot with numbers he's used for 20 yearsReply
Well he got some of my $s. Anyway this is just the record for the Classic 47 version of the game. The all time record for Michigan 6/XX games is 45 some odd millions divided by, I believe, 3 tickets.

$1.5 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot fuels rush for ticketsReply
I hope it actually gets to $3 Billion so when I or someone hit it we can literally see someone walk away as a billionaire after cash option and taxes. It's not impossible, but it's going to take a lot more than $3 billion for that to happen unless interest rates go way down. Even if interest rates go way down it will still take the same amount of cash, and the same number of tickets without producing a winner sooner. With the current interest rate you'd net about 29% of the annuity value af

620,000 Montana Lottery Montana Millionaire raffle tickets sell out in 6 hoursReply
No one on this board has the energy to talk about Mega Millions jackpot buildup? I do and I will. The jackpot started on July 1, 2025 over 4 months ago. Only 14 million tickets were sold for Tuesday's drawing meaning that only 5% of the possible numbers were covered roughly by definition. Jackpot odds are 1 in 290,472,336 I have been saying here that raising the price to $5.00 per ticket would negatively reduce sales by a lot and that is exactly the case. I am just guessing, but by

Michigan woman who played Lotto 47 since it launched decades ago wins $1.1 million jackpotReply
Stories like this one, the recent $32.91 million Lotto 47 record just months ago, and the Macomb County guy who stuck with his numbers for 20 years show that persistence can pay off big in this game. Lotto 47's been delivering life-changers since '91. Congrats to her on the $1.1M; it makes you wonder if those faithful twice-weekly plays edge out the odds just a bit through sheer volume. Never give up, indeed, but play smart!
