Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
Kind of strange here that Fast Play is listed for on line games...yet you can't purchase them apparently unless @ the store. Many different games listed with different jackpots. At the lottery machine on the ever so slow to get displayed jackpot screen Fast Play does show the largest jackpot from what I can gather. (KY).

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
AZ has no rules to prevent a buyout of the Pick6 or Fantasy5 AZ lotteries, where the jackpot estimate is published. Only a few Fast Play games have progressive jackpots, and in those games, the jackpots aren't published (at least, they don't show up on the arizonalottery.com website) , and play numbers/symbols are machine chosen and not player chosen. Since Fast Play buyouts only make sense when the jackpot estimate is known, and when the number of tickets purchased give a high enough e

Seems odd to me. Odds where dropped a smige. Ticket price has almost tripled. Less people are playing. And lower jackpots are being won. ......

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I was thinking the same thing this morning as I was checking numbers. @ Bigger faster jackpots. They should have just kept the same price point. And added a Thursday draw. To me the jackpot seems to be moving at a snails pace.

The bigger jackpots aren't happening as advertised with the $5. They've been won 112M and 348M since the change. In 2024 they were won at 1.1B 552M 800M 1.3B Not only are they being won as far smaller jackpots than before they also seem slower.

New Jersey resident says no thanks to road rage, wins $600,000 lottery prize insteadReply
I don't want the PB or MM jackpots so I stick to my beloved Cash 5 and state lotto dividing an equal amount into both. I think you should go a little deeper than 3 PB plays a week. That matrix though is discouraging to do more than double your play there. Most cash 5 games are daily now so on the days there is no PB you want to have something going.

The difference between the two jackpots is $201 million. Previously, the difference was $200 million. An increase of $1 million.

New Mega Millions game reports 300% increase in non-jackpot prizes in first monthReply
They should have done some polling to see how a price increase would go over with the players. Plus making bold claims before the price increase came about didn't help either. The old format produced jackpots of over 1 billion dollars twice a year plus many secondary prizes of 1 or 2 million. Hopefully things will change .

I've given the new format a chance but I'm not seeing very many if any big prizes like 1,3,or 5 million. And I expected there would be larger jackpots sooner. Maybe ticket sales aren't what they thought they would be.
