Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I hear ya MsBee.... I always thought it was nice having 2 options at the same price to have the jackpots rise at noticable rates. The MM is a big yawn and isn't creating the interest that it used to just 10 months ago. Look at the increase for the run for the last Billion dollar jackpot that happened last December 27,2024: https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Documents/jackpotestimates/mm20241227.pdf It got to the $619M Annuity on Tuesday and the next draw skyrocketed to $6

People would still play. They would come here and rant and rave on how they are not spending a dime on either, but behind the scenes, they be buying tickets The people saying they aren't buying tickets probably aren't. Revenue per draw is up, bu ticket sales are down. Maybe ticket sales will be higher if PB also goes to $4 or $5 because there are plenty of people who have to play some game. If there's not a price difference many of them may play both games instead of just PB. What's

Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
It would also grant the Lottery the ability to deny a claim for a winning lottery or sports wager ticket if it was found to have been purchased in relation to a bulk transaction. I don't agree with this. It's the lottery's job to shut down so-called bulk ticket retailers, not collect all this money and then deny payment. That's what Texas tried to do to a winner and she had to sue them to collect. If they want to make their lottery unattractive to bulk ticket purchasers when the jackpot

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I agree I think it's going to end up between 1.45 and 1.5 tonight. The worksheet is reporting a supported annuity of 1.411, and I'd imagine they're still being deliberately conservative, so 1.45 seems likely to be close to the least we should be expecting. Saturday is projected at 1.7 but I'll be surprised if it's not between 1.8 and 1.9 They're forecasting sales of $467 million, and a supported annuity of 1.762, so I'd think it should easily get to 1.8. Based on the current foreca

I totally agree that it's people who make things a headache. If I were to win something like Powerball, the majority would go into laddered treasury bills, with some in an S P 500 index fund. The last thing I would do is start my own business or invest in any sort of risky business venture. People go broke because they think this sudden windfall of money has given them some sort of insight on how to invest, start or run a business. If you weren't doing any of that before winning the lottery jack

These huge jackpots seem to be a massive headache to manage, even with professionals helping you. To be honest with you, it's people that make it a headache. All you need to do is take your lump sum and buy 10 year Treasury Notes. You get interest payments every six months for 10 years. But when you go down the path of wanting to double and triple your money, that's where the headache starts. Your told to hire advisors, don't forget tax attorneys, oh and the CPA, and the financial plann

Fantasy 5 payouts are garbage now!Reply
I dunno Todd. Hope you're right. August 16th mid-day Florida Fantasy5 drawing saw two winners of $27,658. And that's BEFORE Federal income taxes. Sad fact of life here in Florida... too many people living down here now. Traffic is akin to NY's Long Island year round. (used to be that way only during Snowbird season) I've asked many of my former Long Island friends living here now if they think traffic is like it was when they lived on The Island. Oh my God! exclaimed one friend. I thoug

The cash value is only running at 10% of what it would be when it was at $2.00 a line. 90% of all other cash jackpots were much higher by this time in the jackpot run. This may be reflective of this poll where nearly 60% are not playing. Has nothing to do with the price of the game. Cash v. Annuity value only depends on the expected return of US 30-yr bonds. The lottery starts with the actual funds they have (=cash value) and then advertise the annuity multiplying the cash value
