Massachusetts Lottery to add second daily Mass Cash drawingReply
This really sucks for loyal Mass Cash players. What's going to happen is exactly the same thing that happened with Florida Fantasy5 when the Florida Lottery added an additional Fantasy5 drawing each day in March of 2023. The mid-day Mass Cash drawing will have a low jackpot amount, and the evening drawing will have a somewhat larger but still reduced jackpot amount due to ticket sales for the mid-day drawing siphoning off money that formerly went to the evening drawing. Most players are

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
One thing I truly miss is bump up to the jackpot like in the good old days. Gone for good I'd say. Considering that they've done it 4 times in the last 4 months it hardly seems like it no longer happens. Changing to 3 drawings per week has a minor effect, but the real issue is that lottery sales per drawing are generally slower than they used to be. Even so, the current PB run is a rare exception (as of now) for not bumping some of the jackpots for runs that made it past the billion dollar

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
what Ai is saying is they can't stop it from Climbing but they can Slow it down so second chance win more makes sense. My intelligence isn't artificial, so I've got a somewhat different take, partly because I don't have as many hallucinations. Back when the annuity record was about $300 million PB introduced a cap that would limit jackpot increases to $25 million, with any excess augmenting the second place prize, until a new record was set. I don't remember how long it lasted, but it wasn'

Idaho Lottery alerts retailers to possible bulk buying attempt over $877,800 Idaho Cash jackpotReply
Solution is very simple . Number one payout on hold pending full investigation. Number two history of the winning number if that number was played regularly or only when the sales spiked. Number three extra Fifty percent tax for fraudulent purchases. Number four what is the normal sales spike and fraudulent sales spike .

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
American money going to foreign citizens. The article points out that According to MUSL, more than half of every $2 Powerball ticket stays in the jurisdiction where it is sold . That the state's share of the ticket price and all of the non-jackpot prizes that are paid by the state to somebody who bought a ticket in that state (roughly another 16% of the ticket price) stays in the state should be a no-brainer. With all of the states that offer PB, varying populations, and the small number of

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
The annual increases in the annuity payment makes the proportion of lump sum to annuity smaller. Right, but you're reversing the cause and the effect. The graduated payments inflate the annuity, making it bigger than it would be with fixed payments. The flip side to that is that with fixed payments the proportion of annuity to lump sum is smaller. Every dollar in the prize pool (the cause) buys less annuity value (the effect). Of course, the lump sum is the real number since it's based

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
Right? I was thinking of this. Americans cannot participate any other foreign countries lottery games unless they are visiting the country . Will we be able to play the UK's National lottery ? Or Canada's Lotto Max? Or Australia's Powerball ? No. We can't even nationally play a lottery game through an app like they can with the Euromillions. It seems the Powerball keeps chasing growth despite a of ticket sales. Instead of asking why ticket sales are declining they think price increase or mo
