Quick decision: New Ark. Lottery chief recommends PowerballReply
I don't think they will change the matrix because of Arkansas joining. It would take a state of higher population levels than that -- such as when Florida joined (the impetus of the last matrix change). What will be interesting to watch is if MUSL allows Mega Millions states to join the game. What will they do then? Let's say New York joins Powerball, as their legislature wants to do (if it ever gets back into session). With one of the largest state populations in the nation, it could increas

Does anyone have a chart or program to show this breakdown?Reply

So we have 80.8% of the winners having played quick picks and 53.2% of the winners having picked their own numbers. The QP jackpots are less likely to have been shared jackpots.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
While the revenue is being talked about and consideration is being given to what percent is being generated at a certain dollar value, people are also not including the starting point of $50 Million which, IMHO, is another bells and whistles gimmick in this new improved MM version from MUSL. Starting at $50M already puts you up 2+ draws on any previous jackpot, whether its the MM or the PB in the last decade plus. https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Games/Mega_Millions/Estimat
