Mega Millions confirms ticket price increase to $5, other changes coming April 2025Reply
TAXES are fraud misleading advertisements; if I win, I will ask for tickets that were sold since the last winning day, For example, 50 states sold an average of 10 million tickets at $2 for each state. (10*2)*50= 1 Billion, and the start-up prize is $20 million. So for drawing 9/13/2024, the first draw of $20M, according to the Mega Millions website, all payout is: 2,799,586.00 the expenses at 20% is $200M, the profit is: $797,200,414.00, now for the next draw people start spending more and

Texas Senator threatens to defund the Texas LotteryReply
Are you in Texas? Have you been following anything Todd or Kate have written? Are you aware that Pete Sullivan, from Draft Kings testified that groups watch and target lotteries once the payout is larger than the permutations of the game? And that additional steps limiting the number of terminals and the number of tickets sold by any terminal has been instituted? Did you know that Texas lottery Commission prohibited third party couriers service as of last Monday? Are you aware th

Texas bill would prohibit sales to players attempting to buy all possible number combinationsReply
calls into question how a retailer would define substantially all ticket combinations. Do these clowns know anything about how the lottery works? I'm pretty sure none of the syndicates tried by sending dozens or hundreds of people to retailers with an (already obvious) shopping bag full of official bet slips. I've also got a crazy idea that, just maybe, some state agency has a computer with the ability to tracks ticket sales. Oh, wait, they already know that. Triple tax them to 75 perce

Texas Lottery says NJ group tried to buy another Lotto Texas jackpotReply
Comes to mind a good example is Texas Cash 5. It's played 6 nights a week and the jackpot is. Ever larger than $25000 whether it's won or not. And the state is liable for up to $75000. I guess a better term would be a non-rollover game. And thinking about the term group. I should be more clear using that as well. We're not talking work groups or a small party of friends spending $50 to $500. By group we're talking a party organized with the intent, or an organization (like the i

The state tried to rectify the problem several years age as Rcbuckeye mentioned. They instituted two policies 1. Tickets were to be purchased at a physical terminal within state boundaries 2. That to qualify to be a licensed retailer a person, business or entity must sell other products and not sell lottery as a sole business. That meant things like liquor, tobacco, groceries, gas, etc. Once this took effect, former director Gary Grief took a trip to California to woo a certain
