Mega Millions lottery jackpot increases to $31 millionReply
Right now both PB and MM are at levels they'd typically be at if they'd had one more roll than they've actually had. I think that they'll both return to the same sort of rollover amounts we've seen in the recent past within the next roll or two, and that when the jackpots are claimed they'll still just be about one roll ahead of usual. The appeal of the recent jackpots seems to have carried over and made a lot of people decide to buy tickets at a lower threshold than usual, but I'm extremely sk

Texas Lottery eliminates Lotto bonus ballReply
Well I don't think there is much of a chance for any normal lottery game anymore in TX. Even if they revert back to the 6 of 54 game or whatever it is I bet there won't be an increase in sales. TX has Mega Millions and usually the in-state game suffers. Changing the game back to the game that they had to replace a couple years ago isn't going to do much good. Brad

Texas lottery players want to get rid of 'bonus ball'Reply
It was until May 2002 when Lotto Texas introduced the bonus ball because they think more people would play and get big jackpots. Lotto Texas with a bonus ball had 37 rolls at one time and had a $145 million jackpot one time. I wish that Lotto Texas goes back to a 6 number format, but increase the odds of winning the jackpot only. I think Lotto Texas should either had kept the 6 number format when they had joined Mega Millions. When will Lotto Texas take out the bonus ball and go back to 6 number

Payments are not that bad.Reply
Taken from the Powerball FAQ page: _____________________________________________________________________________________ WHY HAS THE CASH JACKPOT GONE DOWN? Actually, it is the annuity jackpot that has gone UP. Most people assume that we start with the annuity, but we actually start with the cash jackpot. In the Powerball game, thirty cents of every dollar sold goes into the cash jackpot pool. The difference between the cash jackpot and the annuity jackpot depends on how much we can make

5m bump in Mega Millions?Reply
I dont get it, one ticket annuity 175 gives 101 million cash one ticket annuity 365 gives 177 mill cash. Sorry but most folks need to see that MegaMillions gives out far more cash fund then PB. Someday ppl will do the math and see which game is more giving. It was pleasing to see the Mega increase! Thank you PB for at least doing that for the real lottery game!

Match 5 Bonus PoolReply
How is it going up so much? The jackpot itself had to increase by $65 million. I thought this time the bonus pool would be really small. The bonus pool is in top of the $65 million needed to get the jackpot to this level so they are expecting to sell well over $100,000,000 tickets already. Brad

a "tested version" for pick 3Reply
I didn't remember to say this, but Serious daily games players, should have and use PAIRS info also, just as your program has 3 digits numbers (Whole pick 3 combos) info, a pairs' expert could greatly increase his or her chances of winning with the proper pairs' info, anybody could to some extent. Detailed pairs info both straight and boxed can help anybody a lot, both appearances and skips, in any form of stats, but better in proper stats' form(s).

Questions on CA SLPReply
Thanks CASH Only for answering my question of CA SLP having graduated payments. However, when I buy CA SLP tickets, I don't know exactly if they take the cash option or 26 Payments. If I don't mark any ticket in CA SLP and then win a jackpot, it would be 26 graduated payments. I think CA SLP should increase the number of WBs from 47 to 49, but keep MBs at 27. Do you think CA SLP will change the odds of winning the jackpot will decrease? If so, what changes should they make?

Are you a Comcast internet user?Reply
Ahhh the power of cable companies. NJ is trying to pass a bill to limit their power and the airwaves are flooded with pro-cable propaganda. Knowing how the people of NJ have voted on critical items in the past, you can look for a cable dominated state for centuries to come! NJ has a policy, if it doesn't make money for politicians, doesn't increase the cost to the consumer, or will contribute to safety of it citizens, it has no chance of becoming law. I have a rinky-dink cable company called

Share this ticket?Reply
If you're willing to share, why should others buy a quick-pick with the same numbers? They can simply PM you information about where to send their share if you win.Unless I am mistaken, this appears that RJOH is under the impression that ez wants something in return for the use of the numbers he posted providing they hit. The way I read ez's message, he is throwing out the numbers for anyone that want's to use them hoping to increase the luck of the draw on those numbers. Didn't ez state that h
