$353 MILLION: Red hot Mega Millions jackpot set for FridayReply
If both jackpots were at $500 million at the same time, I think people would lose their minds. Do you pick the jackpot that's harder to win or the one that costs more? In any case, the point I was trying to make was that it isn't the economy why jackpots have increased, it's the changes in the lottery itself. If people really were that financially desperate there should have been a run on last night's drawing. An increase of only $44 million on a jackpot that is over $300 million and whe

$309 MILLION: Mega Millions jackpot rolls into top 25Reply
No human being alive needs more than $5 million to be EXTREMELY comfortable for LIFE. Right. Because inflation will never go up again, but interest rates won't stay dismally low. Taxes will never go up, and there's no chance that assets will ever lose value again. Most importantly, there's no way anybody will live for more than another 40 or 50 years. And, of course, it doesn't cost much at all to be extremely comfortable. The reality is that if you put $5 million in an extremely safe in

Hello psykomo. There are various ways the numbers can be broken down. For example, you can break the numbers down according to sums, root sums, e.t.c. With this, I decide on one of these ways to get my numbers. But, a breakdown that gives me more numbers ,to play, and not less. You need more numbers to increase your chances of winning. Secondly, there's the calculated play. When playing more numbers, you have to control your losses. You can't just play a lot of numbers on every draw. You'll

Virginia: 2/1 - 2/28/2014Reply
Yeah, I was in for two bucks with 133, too. It's really funny how many of us were feeling that 33 pair. My dream is that one of these days we will all independently come up with the same number and win a ton of money and give the nice lottery folks a fright. Don't laugh, crazier things have happened. In truth, it came very close to happening yesterday! This is why I always do my workups before I get on here, so I'll know my work is completely unbiased. I figure if I get on here and all the re

California lottery ticket wins $425 million Powerball jackpotReply
Right on Maringoman...I was beginning to think i was the only one that found the $40MIL prize just as beautiful. I just had a crazy idea....imagine if all lotteries had something like a progressive increase of odds: that is, with each draw the odds reduced/increased. So at $40MIL the odds would be something like 1:70,000,000. and by the time it got to $500MIL its like 1:350,000,000. hahahhaa, that would be some funny stuff. I wonder if it could work? Of course to make things work that way, wh

Why Do You Think Lottery Winners Always Take The Cash Option?Reply
CDana, Actually I have mentioned those historical rates in past post but elected to use a rate that was currently in effect at the present time(75% in France). Most of those who doubt that the top tier tax rate will never go back to those historical levels, even the 70% rate from the early 1980's are clueless and have either too much trust or dependency in Government. In times of crisis, the Government will look at every means possible in order to increase revenue. Taxation is by far

Why Do You Think Lottery Winners Always Take The Cash Option?Reply
Age is the factor that concerns me; I've said before that I doubt I have 30 yrs. left on this mortal coil and even if I did, there's a good possibility I might not have the mental capability to remember I'm getting checks by the end of the annuity. No, I want the cash, right now,while I'm still young enough to enjoy and do some good things with it. As far as investments go, I think I'd opt for safe over high return, at least for most of my winnings. (1% on a hundred million is a million/ye

Does anyone here know the history of the matrix changes for PB and MM?Reply
There's only two things which can happen with ANY type of lottery game: One, they can add more numbers to it which makes it much harder to match anything...which is the latest deal. Two, they can remove numbers to make it easier to match more numbers. While the term matrix does sort of apply, it's simply removing or adding to the range of numbers which increases or decreases total possible combinations There's no special formula they go through to reach a matrix. If they were to take the Pick
