$970 MILLION: Mega Millions ticket-buying frenzy forces new jackpot estimateReply
You know what I thought the same thing and even said this in another post yesterday when we first saw it increase to 900 Million (28hrs ago) but I was corrected through this wonderful explanation. You don't seem to understand how jackpot estimates are made. They are projections, not based on actual sales. So when the sales for the new jackpot start they can quickly determine if sales volumes are following the expected levels, or if sales are higher or lower than expected. So (for example) wh

$868 MILLION: Mega lottery jackpot set for FridayReply
Starting on October 2, ticket sales* were 24.7 million, 31.5 million, 37.8 million, 58 million, and 105 million last night. The 20.2million increase in ticket sales from the 10/9 to the 10/12 drawing was 54% and then increased by 88% for last night's drawing. It was obvious when the estimated jackpot was only slightly increased shows there was no buying frenzy. Because Friday's has already been raised, that shows to me the frenzy started. Just an opinion, but it starting to look like people are

Likelihood of a MM Winner this drawing?Reply
lowell.... with the massive jackpot odds on both big lottery games and the recent changes to increase those odds, they altered my support level to participate. Also, looking at recent winners' jackpot sizes over $100 Million has been very consistent over the last 2 years. The one exception is for the PB back in March of 2018 for $55.9 Million. The MM had 2 separate jackpots that were won under $100 Million,the first was a year ago Oct 13,2017 for $42 Million and the 2nd was in April of 2017 for

$548 MILLION: Mega jackpot to spark ticket-buying frenzyReply
I was thinking it would be raised to around 575 to 580 sometime later today. If no winner tonight, it would probably increase by about $100 mil We're in history making territory now! Good luck to one and all.

Mega Millions lottery jackpot swells to $405 millionReply
Bleudog101, When one employee asked a shift boss how come Nevada doesn't have a lottery the shift boss' answer was very simple: The joints want it all. The Nevada 'answer' to a lottery was the progressive jackpot MegaMillions machines. When they first put them in it was kind of spooky watching the jackpot meter advance with nobody playing that particular machine, but they were set up so if anyone anywhere in the state played one ( I think at the time it took five quarters to increase the

Option for annuity vs. lump sum on lesser prizes?Reply
Taxes always increase. So does not matter what the interest rate is projecting. Most states allow a designated survivor should the recipient pass before all proceeds are allocated. I have zero interest in stocks . It's just lining a corporate beasts pockets. It's terribly sad that a 100k turns into 46k in places like NYC or jersey. They tax the person immensely. Federal,state, local.

Cycles - Interesting NumbersReply
Sorry Mr Black correction to my earlier post. Mostly correct. Given that pattern duplication is near on zero from game to game past results and patterns at the best would act as a reduction of the remaining pattern sets that could potentially play out. So in a 6/45 game with potentially greater than 8.5 million outcomes and subsequent pattern sets deduct the already played and winning ~4000 pattern sets and only play from the remaining ~ 8496000 pattern sets. Massive increase in your winni
