Each bucket is its own prize pool that all the winners of that prize level share. The multiplier number on each winner's ticket represents its share of that prize pool. So someone with a 2x on their ticket has 2 shares . A 5x multiplier has 5 sh

Oregon Lottery proposes rules regulating courier services and preventing bulk ticket purchasesReply
It's because of the stupid 2X multiplier and the baseline starting jackpot. Eliminate the 2X multiplier and increase the starting baseline jackpot to $150M and you will see the new MM pop. The players are a lot smarter than the LOTTERY SUITS give them credit for. They need to see what they are paying for .

$1.8 billion Powerball jackpot to be split by two tickets sold in Missouri and TexasReply
I was in a no tax state today that lets players stay anonymous so I bought a single line for MM for 10 draws which is as far out as they sell them and got the 10x multiplier. I'm marking that in the good luck column.

Speaking of Mega Millions, some lucky soul had X2 multiplier in CA with five #'s. Though no fan of parimutuel like they have, they scooped up just over $5 million. We'll see what direction, if any, this new Director takes.

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
This is a non starter. 1st Problem: Computer simulation with no ball drop. 2nd Problem: Top prize isn't nearly enough for a $ 5 line. 3rd problem: Daily Draws - 2-3 times a week is max. Summary...MUSL apparently doesn't believe their own numbers after looking at the revenue loss on Mega Millions. IF they made the Cash Ball a multiplier of the jackpot that would spice it up tremendously (They would still have 1 as an out). Remember the Tennessee Cash 3 Double numbers problem (where doubles were c
