I'm as inflexible on matrix changes as Cash is on annuities because they reach a point of diminishing returns and implode. It all sounds great when some pencil neck geeks present it to lotteries with all razzmatazz projection$$$$ for $$$$a

This may be too big of an idea, but...
The idea of the Powerball and Mega Millions states joining forces on something has been floated around for a while. I've also seen the success of the Millionaire Raffle here in PA. And we've all seen how big jackpots get people out buying tickets in droves. So, how about this. A $20 Raffle with 500,000,000 tickets being sold in every Powerball and Mega Millions state (maybe even Florida), and among those: 10,000,000 tickets will win $100 (Odds are 1:50) 100,000 tickets will win $10,000 (O

Someone has to pay for guaranteed prizes, and I guess the states

creating a state lotteryReply
mine would have both a pick 3 and pick 4..... it would have a 5/30 matrix pick 5 game..... it would have a state lotto with a decent matrix and huge jackpots.... no powerball or mega millions..... anonymous status for any jackpot winner who requested it..... have scratch offs with good odds..... all games would be ball drawn..... all draws would be televised.....

FL Lottery at $82,000,000
As long as I can remember since I have been tracking lotteries I have never seen their jackpot so high. With odds of winning it 1 in 23 million it is amazing how many times your money the jackpot is. You could buy all the possible combinations and make a huge profit. You don't see games with jackpots that are almost 4X the odds. People in Florida must be going Lotto Crazy. With the way that game plays down there if they joined Mega Millions it would just be crazy the way the jac

The odds of both neither, just one.
The odds of both PB and MM rolling are roughly 61%. The odds of PB being won while MM rolls are roughly 16% The odds of MM being won while PB rolls are roughly 18% The odds of both being won are roughly 5% Personally I would like it if one of them was won. I live in a border area and like the jackpots to be a little out of phase. I would, of course, especially like to be a winner myself.

SHOULD have hit PB
43 44 were the numbers on the last two big jackpots 4 was a lucky number single digit even number I had (8 was the other) 23 was michael jordan's number i like playing numbers that are both in in 5 and are PB so if i wheeled each one for 42-4=38 bucks, i would have hit powerball and if i went with 8 instead of 4....76 bucks im sick

powerball cash valueReply
The jackpots for MM and PB are not comparable. MM is a traditional fixed annuity for 26 years, with all payments equal. PB, by contrast, is a graduated annuity, with lower payments in the early years and larger payments in later years. The amount of increase in payment each year is 4%, which is a fairly good estimate for average long-range inflation. So, though the payments aren't equal, they should be approximately equal in buying power. In addition, the PB annuity is for 30 years, not
