Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Hmmm Two jackpots in a row won by two ticketholders each draw ..... I smell a $ 2.5 bil jackpot on the horizon. I play for the larger jackpots .... that's just my game ...... call me greedy but, that's how I roll. So what is y'all's take on which multistate game will reach one billion dollars first? Have a shaggy day! ShagE3

UK lottery winner misses claims deadline for £10.6 million jackpotReply
That's the harsh reality of the UK's 180-day claim window, strict from the October 4 draw date right up to April 2, and now that 10.6m heads straight to good causes instead. Makes Dave's Waking Ned Devine reference hit even harder, since real-life tragedies like sudden death do explain a chunk of these unclaimed jackpots. Subscribing online like dannyct mentioned is smart insurance here, as it auto-claims everything without the ticket risk.

Arkansas lottery winner of $250.8 million Powerball jackpot claims prizeReply
Arkansas is on fire with these Powerball jackpots, first that massive $1.817 billion on Dec 24, 2025 (numbers 4-25-31-52-59 PB 19, cash $834.9M pre-tax), then this $250.8M from March 2 (2-17-18-38-62 PB 20, $118M cash option). Smart move claiming through a trust keeps the winner's name private under Arkansas rules, unlike states that force full disclosure. Todd's right to debunk the fake rumors; official releases confirm anonymity for both, no E****n or local lady ties, just pure luck hitting 1-

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
winter bird, Calling Mega Millions measly by people who do not have near the jackpots says a lot about those people. Tucker Black, One more time no one is pointing a gun at you and demanding you play.

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
What would have sales been, had the ticket prices remained at $2 over the last 11 1/2 months ? Would there have been more/less than 6 jackpot winners since the restart at $50 million ? Would the jackpots have reached $1 Billion + just one time at the $2 price, instead of taking 40 draws to reach $980 Million(7/01 - 11/14/25) ? ( 4 months 13 days ) https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Documents/jackpotestimates/mm20251114.pdf During this run in particular, that jac

Australian man deletes email from lottery about $50 million Powerball jackpot winReply
I can't blame him for deleting it, I would have done the same thing. I still remember the very first spam email I ever received, informing me that I'd won the lottery. It might have been more convincing if I hadn't won two different multi-million dollar jackpots that morning.

Jackpots actually decreased instead of went up after the price hike. However I must note the secondary prizes are more. A 10 million dollar secondary prize hit for the first time on March 13, 2026.

Who said I hated anybody here? You jump to many conclusions. Preach your 'a nickels worth of a jackpot for five bucks' nonsense to those who have won MM jackpots. I am surprised that you said it's fun to throw away money. I'm not the one with the twisted mind.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I think what winoneday meant was that it was bad luck for the house. In the long run, the average jackpot won will equal the expected value. In a game like this, a drawing every few days with odds of 1 in 300 million, the long run could be many years. In a short period of time, the players can be lucky which means the house (MUSL) is unlucky. Unlike other games like pick 3 or any table game or slot machine in a casino, where more jackpots are good for business because the long run for th

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The pool is going to wait until one of the jackpots gets much larger. We start playing when the jackpot is at least $150 million cash. It makes a difference since the plan is to split the jackpot many ways.
