Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
* Yes it is a hard one Costigan makes a valid point. Your State pours money into a jackpot an outside entity swoops in claims it all. Then you have some members watching jackpots grow while they stand by doing nothing to make it grow then hope others don't win because they now have skin in the game.

LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #4Reply
If I could only play one game the rest of my life I think it would be Fantasy 5. The reason is because you only need 5 balls to match to win and also the jackpots still get reasonably high. (Gets into 6 figures.) I think this lottery has good odds.

$1.7 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
+ That's kinda tacky Dickeyboy. After all California contributes mightily to all jackpots you don't hear them complaining when they don't win the big one. Yet lots of folk don't want to see them in the winners circle, why is that? Quit hating on the 5th biggest economy on the planet., CA is extremely generous, be grateful in at least one respect.

Yea the just paying games like usual. Just like 559 hasn't came out since 2023 should have came last night. But you can expect crazy stuff whenever the jackpots are as high as they are right now.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
You're welcome. I have one Powerball and a couple of Super Lotto Plus tickets for tomorrow. If it can't be me, then I hope it's one of us. Watching these jackpots roll for months can make them boring despite the jackpot sizes growing to ridiculous amounts.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
There is a lot of discussion on how the Mega Millions jackpot is growing so slowly. But the reality is, both the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are growing slowly. Currently, the Mega Millions jackpot is growing more slowly than the Powerball jackpot simply because the Powerball jackpot is much larger - about three times as large. The current Powerball jackpot at $700 million was reached after 35 rolls. The 35 roll record for Powerball is a whopping $1.76 billion - over twice as large as t

I do chuckle at the MM statement they put in their news release on 3/25/25: The game will feature bigger prizes at every non-jackpot prize tier, better odds to win the jackpot, better odds overall, larger starting jackpots, and faster-growing jackpots. Starting at $50 Million didn't seem to energize much needed sales to support that claim. Let's see if the sticker shock of 150% increase wears off after a year or as one poster put it, they have a few runs that go for 30 drawings or more .

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Lottery sales for the big national games are down. This is probably the main reason the Mega Millions game was recently changed. Even on my worst days I'm not nearly stupid enough to think they wouldn't have tried messing with the game even if sales were still what they were 3 to 5 years ago, but the change was definitely an attempt to increase sales. So far the sales per drawing have been consistently higher than shortly before the change for the jackpots values we've seen, and sales f
