Changes coming to Powerball multi-state lottery game in JanuaryReply
Mega millions should change the starting jackpot amount. I thought they would have at least double the starting amount, when mm added practically the rest of the country to the game. Mega millions should also keep their tickets to $1, I do not want to spend $2 every time i play especially when the odds is close to impossible to win.

Starting jackpots double to $40 million=Great for players. Better overall odds for more winners=I doubt it. Ticket price will increase to $2=Great for powerball not the players.

With both games being similar it was alway hard to decide which one to play when their jackpots were similar sizes although PB had a slight edge paying $3 for a 0+1. If MM doesn't change, I won't have that problem next year since only their odds of winning will be about the same unless PB lower tier prizes amounts are increased.

Looks like I won't be playing this game anymore. $1 a game is fine........ $2 a whack is not. Realistically....... Only 50% of every dollar is paid out anyway and the new overall odds will not change that. If the lottery commission wants to stick it to the players, then I just won't play anymore. They just lost a long time customer.

These are some of the same changes that happened to the Canadian lotteries a couple of years ago. First their main game (Lotto 649) went from $1 a ticket to $2 a ticket. Then Super 7 which already had $2 tickets, was replaced with Lotto Max with $5 tickets. These changes are not good for individual players. Players have to pay more. What they get in return, larger jackpots, is not of greater value. For an individual, a $100 million jackpot is not twice as valuable as a $50 million jackpot. Th

Not at all happy about these changes!!! !!!! This is nothing more than a way for all the lotteries to earn more money by making us spend $2 instead of $1. And the odds changing from 1 in 35 to 1 in 31.8.....HA! What a freakin' joke!!!! Glad I live near the Georgia border where I can, and will, continue to play MegaMillions for just $1.

Damaging evidence against former Mass Lottery overseerReply
Last year, try as I may, I did not win anything in scratch MA tickets. Now I know the odds and long and some people actually won but still, I cant help feeling that winning was made extra harder so that money can be found to campaign.
