Good new on the MEASLY MILLIONS front... The cash value ticked up a projected $100K for Friday 5/22/26. Perhaps it's a sign of Bigger, Faster jackpots that the participants were advised of.

You sure about that?

Lucky For Life to Millionaire For Life - $5 TicketReply
For me ... I play lucky 4 life maybe twice a week (like it was mon Thur originally) when pb and or mm are below the 250 million threshold for me to jump into those games . Now with the merged millionaire 4 life and the three dollar increase in price .... I'll still play but only once per week. I look forward to the new game but I'm not going gaga over it. What will the matrix look like? Will it still be a twenty year annuity? Will there be a cash option? All questions to

my idea for a multi-state lotteryReply
I think you've made a mistake, presumably in point 4. You know the chance of matching 6 of 68 is 1 in 109.45 million, so you should expect 1 jackpot winner for every 109.45 million tickets. With 10 cents from each ticket going to the jackpot you'll have just under $11 million each time you pay a winner $25 million. You could do that with an annuity, but if you hand out cash you have a problem. To fully fund a cash prize of $25 million you'd need 22.84 cents from each ticket to go to the jackpot.

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
I love this - was looking forward to it. Change is good - keeps things interesting. I think it should spread to Australia, Canada and Europe as well. I like that they will keep the ticket cost at $2 in the US. Hope for an increase in the jackpot reset amount. I would have liked if they scrapped the taxes on the US side of things if the game won't be taxed on the UK side. I hope that on the UK side the annuity does not get affected by the death of a jackpot winner since th
