Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I don't think it has ever been unusual for the first draw or two to be underfunded, but they need to offer some minimum amount or even the addicts might stop playing. MM is gambling that $50 million is the minimum advertised jackpot that will get enough people playing, while posing a minimum risk of paying a jackpot before it's fully funded. The most recent example I see is when MM was hit on the first drawing a couple of years ago. Total sales of $19,255,000 only funded $13,759,894 of the start

LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #2Reply

Church/Scholarships/Make A Wish/etc. .pay it forward to select multiple LP members t

I don't follow the news everyday because how depressing it is other than checking in on local news. I went on the national news and see America attacked Iran so now gas prices will increase and we may go to war...and who knows even a threat of terrorism. In France well over 100 people got stabbed with syringes by 12 psychos. Then in Syria a suicide bomber blew up a Church killing over 20 and hurting many more. This is all I learned just from briefly looking at the global news for

Conspiracy theory!Reply
The lottery has been cheating people for years, but few people ever get caught because they got greedy (like Eddie Tipton). The successful insiders have the patience to track winning scratch-off tickets and claim just a few for themselves (by using straw buyers) while releasing the rest to the general public. Since they only take a few of the winning tickets rather than all of them, it makes it look like a fair game when it is anything but. They also purposely send more winning tickets than usua

Mega Millions $5 price increase and game changes take effect this weekendReply
I thought this thru some more and MM really dressed up their plate and left us a few morsels: Less sales (I'm just guessing 50% less) equals less 5 of 6 millionaires. Less 5 of 6 millionaires means less chance of a 10x millionaire since there's a 3.1% chance of the 10x being the multiplier on any ticket. 5X is only slightly less than before (6.3% vs 6.7%). 4x is about the same, but 3x took a dive from 40% to 31% and 2x is the king now- 46.9,% vs 33.3 % before. In other words, you were incent

Ummm, correction needed...PB overall odds are just under 1/25. I don't trust the system to assign a multiplier. The system will always give a fixed end result whereas the mechanical balls have a somewhat random aspect. Not to worry, since I won't see another MM ticket until the jackpot hits $1.5B. I won't subsidize their greed when a third weekly drawing would have given them the same (or better) revenue than the ticket cost increase. I'm guessing PB wouldn't budget on their M-W-Sa drawi
