$550 MILLION: Mega Millions holiday bonanza!Reply
The causal player can care less about the odds. It's not like PB's odds are a cream puff either. When I play MM, I would like to hit the jackpot, but I am more so treating this as a 5/75 game aiming for the $1 milllion dollar 2nd prize. Even with the Gold Money ball not included, the odds are still 1 in 17,259,390

Mega Millions Odds
I don't really care for the changes to Mega Millions. They already have astronomical odds of winning and to decrease the odds seems like a money grab.

(Not the best analogy but a lot of truth to it.) My opinion is that it will break the record and reach the 1 Billion dollar mark and everyone will get in a frenzy buy

Just bought MM quickpick, not knowing odds got even more absurd
Looked at my quickpick and saw large numbers and thought their was a computer error. I haven't bought MM in a while so I didn't know the numbers changed. What are they thinking? The odds were already absurd - 1 in 175 million. Impossible but within the realm of enjoying a brief dream for fun once in a while. But now the odds are an amazing 1 in 256,000,000. Wow that's not even worth dreaming about. Even the 2nd prize odds have worsened to 1 in 25,000,000. My Texas state lotto has a game th

About the only thing with worse odds is getting a perfect NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracket.

$257 MILLION: Mega Millions jackpot expandsReply
No it isn't when you consider its overall odds of winning something. I've played it twice buying a $5 ticket each time and won something both times. Granted, the first time I won $1 and last night I won $2 but there are games with better odds of winning the jackpot that I've spend $10 on and won nothing. I think it's the overall odds of winning something that going to keep players interested inspite of the odds being unlikely that they will ever win the jackpot.
