Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
WOW!!! Normally every state lottery jumps on any new game to increase sales ect. Very happy MDLottery is not. Don't like the $5 cost, would have played if it was $2 a game.

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
The power play is not worth the extra dollar. Those dollars should be used to buy more 2.00 tickets. They wouldn't offer the power play if it was more beneficial to the player than to the lotteries overall volume of sales.

No winner again: Powerball jackpot hits $1.6 billion in longest-ever rollover runReply
Estimate was way off. They missed by even more in than MM missed back in October 2018 when they advertised a $1.6 billion jackpot and only managed 1.537. Depending on the metric you choose PB missed by almost 2 1/2 times as much as MM did. MM advertised an annuity increase of $600 million and missed by 10.5%. Powerball advertised a nominal annuity increase of $250 million and missed by 26%. Could be an indicator of lotto fatigue. Jackpot growth has definitely slowed down in general

$1.1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot increased in longest-ever winless streakReply
No, they kept about $86 million. I assume the video explains it, but the very first thing they do is skim 50% of sales for the states. The $100 million back to the new jackpot is actually about $45.8 million (of the $86 million for prizes) but if you let them invest it for you they'll eventually give you $100 million more than if you'd won on Saturday.

Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply
Every time time they change the matrix to make it harder to win and/or increase the price they tell us it's because players want bigger jackpots. So now we pay more and get fewer big jackpots due to the reduced sales. I liked it better when the matrix was smaller and the jackpots were around 100M. It wasn't as much money but people would win more often. And I don't know anyone that would turn down 80-100 million.

Mississippi Lottery halts Cash 3 triple payout promotion one week inReply
Not only did they end the promotion early but, MS lottery has suspended Cash 3 sales until November 15th. This promotion was NOT a success. This was the biggest failure in planning I've seen from a state lottery.

Mississippi Lottery halts Cash 3 triple payout promotion one week inReply
No, draws are still happening. I would expect they need to draw because some people buy multi-draw tickets, even if sales are currently suspended.

There website on the Cash 3 page has a red banner at the bottom of screen stating Cash 3 Sales will resume on 11/15. Does that mean no draws for a week?

Lottery Post's guide to 2025 holiday raffles across the USAReply
Yes it is ha ha. This will be my 3rd year in a row coming up just for the raffle. Last year I got to the gas station 30 minutes before sales started and there was already a pretty decent line started wrapping around the inside of the store.

$1.8 billion Powerball jackpot to be split by two tickets sold in Missouri and TexasReply
Congrats! See you when the MM hits 1 billion+. Can anyone work out the math how many tickets that would be and what percentage of the possible numbers MM would reach with $500,000,000 in sales?
