New Hampshire Lottery launches $30 scratch-off ticket offering record $3 million top prizeReply
Tucker is right. The cash jackpot is the real jackpot. If a winner chooses the annuity the cash amount of the jackpot is simply invested to pay the annuity. The annuity payout is promoted in advertising jackpots to look better.

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
Curious if anyone saw any news coverage of where the winning ticket was sold? Looked up Arkansas lottery and they won't be in the office until Monday. I'm with KY Floyd on holding off until the jackpots get up there. Now will transition to Lucky 4 Life and Cashball 225 as well as dabbling in Pick 3. All are non RNG, be that as it may.

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

Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
* Some people don't get it. because they think you have to be in a certain State to win. Besides if there were so called hot numbers the jackpots would be won on a weekly basis. *Ever so now then you get a huge jackpot winner coming from a State with a population of less than 4 million persons, and won at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. It's never about the State, hit the numbers everything is Copacetic.

Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
Wait, are you saying that you are in favor of wealthy buying groups swooping in and buying jackpots? Also, you make some kind of allegation about Pick 6 games being made harder. That's not what is happening here, and it's a Pick 5 game, not Pick 6. There was literally nothing in this article about making games harder to win.

Oregon Lottery proposes rules regulating courier services and preventing bulk ticket purchasesReply
I'm one of them idiots shelling out the $5 for MM. I agree 100% with you. Thought it was promised bigger and faster jackpots. Well that is not true and Powerball still beats them hands down, IMHO in that regard!

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
Dude what are you talking about? Apparently you don't know what a Fast Play ticket is. Fast Play tickets print out of the lottery terminal or a lottery vending machine. YOU instantly know if you have won or not by looking at the ticket or scanning it. There are NO waiting until the numbers are drawn. Arizona feels that there is a problem with some people trying to buy up all the Fast Play tickets in the Progressive games, which are jackpots that continually grow until someone wins. In my area of

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
Personally, I don't think anyone even buys bulk Fast Plays as it doesn't make sense mathematically. Fast Plays are like slot machines which are intended to give the house an 80%+ advantage. Jackpots on the other hand have fixed odds -- the more combinations you play the more you're likely to win. So gonna wait and see if the AZ Lottery gives any explanation for the reasoning behind the decision.

Texas Lottery Commission abolished, oversight of Texas Lottery transferredReply
These laws should not apply to games like the Pick 3/4. They have nothing to do with the whole controversy of buying jackpots. Some of these Texas lawmakers own brick-and-mortar stores that sell lottery tickets, and now players can only buy tickets at these stores. This is BS.

Idaho legislation moves along bill to ban bulk lottery ticket purchases By Kate Northrop The Idaho Lottery's initial suspicions that a bulk purchaser was at play during a jackpot run that resulted in an $877,800 Idaho Cash win were correct when it was confirmed that an entity known for executing jackpot buyouts came forward to claim the prize.
