Powerball Lottery Jackpot Jumps to $148 MillionReply
HAPPY 9/26........to all my proud LP MM members The Power Play multiplier was 5 I believe 713 is referring to the above....If I understand the way it works.....if you have just the powerball by itself you win $3.00, I know I have. However, in order to gain any benefit from the Multiplier ...you must have the first 5 numbers correct in sequential order and have the correct multiplier number as well. This can actually double, triple.....ect your winnings.Which means the fi

Big games enter lottery's big pictureReply
The article neglects to mention that MM will have a multiplier when Texas joins and starts selling tickets around the end of October. Informed sources say that the MM multiplier will not take the form of a separate drawing of multiplier numbers, but rather take the form of a separate, increased prize payout table for those who purchase the multiplier . And, rumors have it that it is possible that not all MM states will offer the multiplier when it is rolled out. Only time will tell on both coun

Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply
A bit of context for people who might not be aware. California's multiplier numbers do not work like the other states' do. California divides the prize money derived from sales into 8 different buckets representing the 8 non-jackpot prize levels. 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

New Jersey Lottery making several changes to Pick 6 draw gameReply
Just so I'm clear. It sounds like they are saying that each ticket that an individual plays will carry its own multiplier amount for non jackpot hits? So if I but five tickets, there could be a 3x multiplier on one, a 2x on another , 5x on another, etc? With the multiplier option NOT being a choice, I'm guessing theres no chance that they will not have a useless 1x multiplier as one of the possibles.

Kentucky Lottery adds new Keno game featureReply
The KY Keno multiplier is problematic because when the multiplier is 1 , the prize winnings are not increased and there is a 40% chance a 1 will be drawn. If a player bets $5 the multiplier costs $5 too making it a $10 bet. The MM and PB multipliers are much better bets because the lowest factor is 2 meaning for an extra $1, any winnings with the exception of the jackpot are at least doubled. That being said lots of players won 10 times more using the multiplier.

Quick decision: New Ark. Lottery chief recommends PowerballReply
I don't agree with $2 tickets. PB has that now with an optional $1 for the multiplier. Hiking the basic ticket price to $2 would mean $3 total if you wanted multiplier. I think multiplier revenue would drop like a lead balloon then. That's the only way I'd want to see MM go, keep it at $1 and have an optional $1 for a multiplier.

UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
Actually, now that the multiplier will be a part of every lottery ticket purchase, it is mathematically possible for California to do it. To do so, they would allocate a certain percentage of sales to each prize level, just like they do today. But to determine what each winning ticket would be worth, they would divide the prize pool by the total number of multiplied prizes available instead of the total number of winning tickets. So imagine there were only two winners of a particular pri

First drawing of new Mega Millions game produces 5X more winnings compared to older versionReply
Just eliminate the 2X multiplier and call it a day. The 2X multiplier really really sucks, all kidding aside.
