New Mega Millions game reports 300% increase in non-jackpot prizes in first monthReply
They had to, we were calling them out on it. They had to, because the jackpot is based on how much cash they have, and as of tonight they have enough cash to fund a $122 million annuity. They are selling less tickets but bringing in more money. I don't know why so many people seem confused. What's happening is pretty much exactly what happened when PB added a 3rd drawing. Fewer tickets were sold for the Wednesday and Saturday drawings, but sales for Monday drawings increased the to

First big win of new Mega Millions game is one ticket in Ohio worth $112 millionReply
I have always seen the lottery as a fun way to pay taxes, which in my state goes to education, something I support. However, I only play by the value of the pretax expectation value, agreeing to lose money playing the lottery when even when it's ridiculously low, 0.2. Below 0.2 I don't play. As the expectation value increases, the number of tickets I play increases, adding tickets as it hits 0.3, 0.4, etc. There have been a few rare occasions, with huge jackpots where the expectation val

will you play the new $5 mega millions?Reply
Its interesting that my most people seem too be thinking alike, me included. It crossed my mind that if loyal MM players don't like the new pricing, they could shift loyalty to PB. For $5, one will get two PB tickets and $1 change. That would then make the PB jackpot grow faster than the MM jackpot. However, MM will always have a $30M head start when the jackpots reset. PB may counter that by returning to the $40M starting jackpot before the pandemic. Of course all these

Texas Senator threatens to defund the Texas LotteryReply
I apologize if you felt disrespected, but you came in ranting about the measures taken without clarifying you were upset over Pick 3. Unless you make it clear how are we supposed know you weren't referring to the larger games? As has been said the lawmakers are taking measures to overcorrect the slack policies that have plagued the Texas Lottery Commission. I posted the numbers ($173 million) that third party couriers services contribute to the state lottery which is less than one te

Texas Lottery bans lottery courier servicesReply
Has nothing to do with politics. What started the uproar is an investment firm made a deal/contracted/whatever you want call it to use it equipment provided to a lottery site that was wooed by then director Gary Grief to print and purchase 25 million tickets and win one of the largest jackpots in state history. And nobody can get answers to why this site has at least 30 machines with pallets of ticket and printer paper. And a second location operating in Waco. And kids involved in
