State vs Powerball vs MegaReply
I used to think State because the odds are so much better but I've had about the same amount of success as the multi-state game, in other words, I don't win jack shyyyte.

New - Curious... and there has got to be a better way...
Hi - I am new so please forgive if I am not up to speed on the general topics. I have been playing the lottery for a while now on and off probably like everyone else. Since this last mega lotto game (multi-state) my sisters and mom pooled together and bought 150 tickets. You would think we would at least win 'something' well $5 after the whole group of tickets was analized was the result. I have done better by myself and 1 ticket. My feeling became that you are either meant to win or not mea

~3 sets 4 all states~
my sister gave me 3 sets of p4's so i ran them in the search feature, no doubt,wmim. now we know the EDT is huge, so what i explain for the cdt applies to the EDT, PST, MST and both sides of the game. every state listed below in the CDT had some form of the 1958 in some form, and some states or missing, like LA, TX WI need all 3 sets.

Mega...this is getting oldReply
There definitely will be some difference in lottery revenue because before the cross selling started states with a multi-state game attracted players from neighboring states. Now that most states will be selling both games, revenue from out of state players will cease. Larger states will probably see an increase in sales while smaller states will see a decrease.

If Your State Had Both Powerball and Mega MillionsReply
As the games are set up now, states only get revenues generated by tickets sales in their states. States contribute a third of their tickets sales to both the MegaMillions and PowerBall jackpots and pay all other prizes out of money earned locally in their state. The only thing the states share in a multi-state game is the cost of the jackpot and if no one in their state wins it, they are shipping a third of their ticket sales to the states that have the winners.

which one gives a better chance
hello everyone. I;ve been wondering. i know powerball and TN pick5 both have a long shot of winning top prize. But in reality which one gives you the best chance of winning the top prize. considering pick is just played in TN and powerball is a multi state game. Thanks in advance.

Quick decision: New Ark. Lottery chief recommends PowerballReply
A lot of people claim they would prefer that PowerBall and MegaMillions had better odds and more winners of smaller millionaires jackpots and most states have a local game that does that but they don't attract near the number of players that the big jackpot multi=state games do.
