$150 on MM QP's a month?Reply
Yes but if you stick to pick4, what is the most you will hit, $5000? Maybe $10,000? Seems like maybe go the middle ground with pick 5 because I know what you mean about the odds with MM and PB. If you can afford to do it monthly, maybe switch it up each month: play PB and MM when the jackpots are high and vice versa.

Pa. Lottery to pull the plug on Super 7News Story
Pennsylvania Lottery officials announced the final drawing for Super 7 will be later this month, but it doesn't seem like players will miss the game. Officials cite higher jackpots in the Mega Millions drawing as the decision to cancel the Super 7 game. The last chance for Pennsylvania residents to play will be April 27. Super 7 was successful for the past year, Pennsylvania Lottery Deputy Press Secretary Kirstin Alvanitakis said, but people are more interested in games with bigger jackpot

Multi-state lottery jackpots offer multiple $100M+ chancesReply
Excellently written article Todd [Chief Bottle Washer within LotteryPost.com] -- I think that lots of worldwide wire services and news services are going to quote gobs from it! Now I am TOTALLY stoked at the thought of winning one of these two big cash, lump sum amount, U.S.A. multi-state lottery jackpots this week! So, tomorrow, I'm going to my usual multi-state lottery game ticket sales grocery store and buy another month worth of $1 per drawing quick pick 'advance plays' tickets -- for BOT

Powerball jackpot seems very inflated.Reply
The main difference between Mega Millions and Powerball annuities is the longer-term and graduated annuity Powerball uses, which benefits the Powerball annuitized value. A casual check of Powerball jackpots shows that cash values have been near 50% for the past several months, occasionally higher than 50%. Now it seems to be consistently under 50%, but this lines up with long-term Treasury yields, which have increased in the past several months. I don't know how these annuities are funded, bu

$150 on MM QP's a month?Reply
I'm sure it feels worse to lose that much all at once instead of spread out over several drawings, but in many ways putting it all on one drawing makes a lot more sense. On the cycle before this one there were 10 drawings before producing a winner, so imagine playing $15 per drawing to spend (or lose) the $150. The average jackpot for those 10 drawings was 94.8 milion (annuity value). The last drawing was for 212 million. Would you rather bet $150 on winning 95 million or 212 million? There's

How Much Will You Give?Reply
THRUST, For the amount of money lottery jackpots entail no one is doing themself any favor basing things on gross vs net. Say you won $20 million, pre-cash option, pre-tax. If you pledge 10% on gross that's $2 million right off the top. After cash amount and taxes let's say you net $4.8 million. Are you really going to give away almost half of it? Also, just my personal quirk here, but far better to give now, amything, than discussions about how much any one would give out of yet-to-be-

How are Lottery winnings taxed?Reply
I think people misunderstood your question. He was asking, if the big jackpots, for example Mega, get taxed right away (about 50% in NYC), will they tax it AGAIN after putting the sum into your banking account (if you've picked the lump, gotta be crazy to take the annuity option). To answer the question, AFAIK, I don't think they tax it again after they've taken out the taxes out of the initial amount! You didn't earn it, you've won it.

Congratulations to LP Predictors for been:4/5 + 1,2,3 numbers off off of Pick5Reply
