LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #4Reply

$1.7 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
I believe last time I checked with the guy running the pool on our total return up to end 2020 he said it was like $1200 To give you an idea of a reasonable minimum, the current odds (with some minor rounding) for the last two prizes are 1 in 92 and 1 in 38. If you've got 80 people spending $5 per drawing you're playing 600 tickets per week. Probability says you should expect to win 6 8th place and 15 9th place prizes each week.

This is exactly what Powerball and Mega Millions should have done all along. Both games should have just kept the price of the tickets at $1 with the current odds!

I do chuckle at the MM statement they put in their news release on 3/25/25: The game will feature bigger prizes at every non-jackpot prize tier, better odds to win the jackpot, better odds overall, larger starting jackpots, and faster-growing jackpots. Starting at $50 Million didn't seem to energize much needed sales to support that claim. Let's see if the sticker shock of 150% increase wears off after a year or as one poster put it, they have a few runs that go for 30 drawings or more .
