Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Sooooo fellow posters....Any guesses to the next Measly Millions jackpot posting when it rolls tonight ? (nothing posted on the TX lottery yet for 9/26) I am going with a $25 Million increase for the annuity. That last increase of $28M was a 4 day accrual. Lets see if that number stays the same/goes higher for a 3 day break. Good luck to all that are participating in tonights draw.

Good discipline ..... I'm somewhat similar but I don't start buying tickets until the annuity is 250.

That rollover is pretty interesting when it comes to the Annuity payout. The differences between $850M $950M around payment 8 starts talking a smidge louder. https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Documents/jackpotestimates/pb20250827.pdf

I don't know if my post was that clear but I meant those as advertised annuity values. Anyway good luck to all who are throwing their money away at these fake jackpot levels.

Virginia Mega Millions $348 million lottery winner plans to buy lawnmower with record prizeReply
Yes, they prefer for you to take the annuity. They probably make some extra off of that. What they don't do is use your winnings to pay smaller pots. But the age of winners is on the elderly side so they just take the lump sum it seems. The more common 1 million dollar winners end up with around 460k. If you don't know that going in it must be a jolt to your cardiovascular system after you held a million dollar check for the picture and 20 minutes later they come out with a check for 463,219.00

Mega Millions constant $10 million increasesReply
A $2 prize (times whatever multiplier, so $4 to $20) for matching two white balls would add 18% to the value of all non-jackpot prizes in total. That's a lot for such a small win. More accurately a $2 prize for matching 2 white balls would reduce the money that goes to the jackpot by about 14.6%. That would reduce the current cash value of $67.9 million to $58 million. For those who believe the advertising it would reduce the current $150 million annuity to $128 million if they abandoned or
