$550 MILLION: Mega Millions holiday bonanza!Reply
There are many who are going to put down hundreds of dollars and win nothing. The new odds are worse than the old one. A dollar or 5 is good enough.

Poll: Does it make sense to playReply
You know how you get mad at yourself if you forget to stop and get a ticket at the store for that night's drawing of your favorite game? Well I think Mega Millions could change that. The odds are so astronomically ridiculous that you don't really regret missing a game that much cuz you feel like nobody's ever gonna win anyway, so you probably just saved yourself a few bucks. I only play two lines but I've always made sure I'm in for every draw. But now with these crazy odds? If it's

I'm starting to loose the excitement in Mega Millions gameReply
Don't understand why would they be crying, or scratching their heads; on each ticket they tell us what the odds, of winning are, it is there to read before they submit the tickets...what crying??!

Poll: Does it make sense to playReply
It made enough sense to play at least $2 worth. Maybe I'd change my mind about the new matrix once more draws happen and more research can be found, but at this time I don't see much point in researching it now as the odds of winning the jackpot are much worse. At least before I knew to very rarely have my highest number be lower than 40, unlike now where I have no clue because there's so many numbers to choose from.

$425 MILLION: Mega Millions jackpot raised on huge salesReply
With the odds change, my feeling toward Mega Millions has changed. It is interesting to see it go up and up, but it is no longer fun to play - winning seems completely hopeless now. I've had a MA season ticket for 10 years but I am dropping it when it expires next month. When I consider that literally every person in the US over 18 would have to buy a ticket to cover enough possible numbers to produce 1 winner, I can see they will get their dream billion dollar jackpot soon enough. Yes I may buy

Just bought MM quickpick, not knowing odds got even more absurdReply
The odds were insane before... yes it's more insane now but all in all.. it's no more different than before... I just played 2 tickets... I might play 10 bucks worth if no one wins this time...

CA Lottery - California Love - CA Lottery ScratchersReply
I tried playing 50 a draw at a time for the last 2 weeks to just put in more entries to the 2nd chance drawing. So my scratchers budget is depleted. Though 1 in 41.7 million odds is extremly high, but in draw games, buying past 20 the odds dimish fast. Number of Tickets - Odds Improvement 2 - 50% 3 - 66.67% 4 - 75% 5 - 80% 10 - 90% 20 - 95% 50 - 98% 100 - 99% 200 - 99.5% 500 - 99.8% 1000 - 99.9% still in 1 in 41,700 of winning!

Mega Millions $1,000,000.00 Winners Without MegaplierReply
Given the new odds, players may be of the opinion that playing MM is akin to throwing your money down a hole, so they're going to be stingy with their purchases. That dollar that might have gone toward the Megaplier under the old matrix is either staying in players' wallets or being spent on another line instead.

$400 MILLION: Massive Mega Millions lottery jackpot set for FridayReply
I am actually not becoming a fan of MM....I am for a larger number of people winning rather than have a huge sum go to one person...Love the idea of spreading the love...They should have increased the odds of winning the JP rather than decrease it.

$344 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot skyrocketsReply
For the terrible odds of winning involved (even by jackpot draw standards), no it wasn't. I did take a small plunge today for Friday, though.
