Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?
At least Measly Millions made some progress with an increase of $25M this time.
OLD: Looking at the $2 MM run from 6/07/24 - 9/10/24 with only a starting jackpot of $20 Million , the jackpot after 18 draws was already at $405 Million . It took 27 draws to reach the $800M winning jackpot.
Looking at the last $2 MM Billion dollar jackpot run from 9/13 - 12/27/24 starting jackpot of $20 Million, the jackpot after 18 draws was at $387 Million . At 27 draws it was $760M. It took 30 draws to

mathematics of re-playing small wins
I did my analysis on scratch-off tickets because most of the prize money goes towards lower prizes. With jackpot accumulation draw games such as Powerball, not much goes to lower prizes.
To summarize my first post, for the $5 Colorado scratch-off $100,000 Super Bonus, the average number of tickets played is 2.5x or 3x your original bankroll, depending on whether your stop point is $500 or $1,000. Not surprisingly, the improved odds of winning a large prize exactly correlate with the average

Mega Millions and Powerball Race
I don't think it has ever been unusual for the first draw or two to be underfunded, but they need to offer some minimum amount or even the addicts might stop playing. MM is gambling that $50 million is the minimum advertised jackpot that will get enough people playing, while posing a minimum risk of paying a jackpot before it's fully funded. The most recent example I see is when MM was hit on the first drawing a couple of years ago. Total sales of $19,255,000 only funded $13,759,894 of the start

LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #2
If I won a substantial jackpot, I would initially say my ritual Thank You Jesus and take deep breaths in order to center myself. Next, I would seek out financial expertise and arrange the following:
.gifts to my immediate family members ...siblings
and children and grands
.increase/establish life insurance policies for the aforementioned
.make a donation to various community organizations ... Church/Scholarships/Make A Wish/etc.
.pay it forward to select multiple LP members t

NY Dream Team 2024
I don't follow the news everyday because how depressing it is other than checking in on local news.
I went on the national news and see America attacked Iran so now gas prices will increase and we may go to war...and who knows even a threat of terrorism.
In France well over 100 people got stabbed with syringes by 12 psychos.
Then in Syria a suicide bomber blew up a Church killing over 20 and hurting many more.
This is all I learned just from briefly looking at the global news for

Conspiracy theory!
The lottery has been cheating people for years, but few people ever get caught because they got greedy (like Eddie Tipton). The successful insiders have the patience to track winning scratch-off tickets and claim just a few for themselves (by using straw buyers) while releasing the rest to the general public. Since they only take a few of the winning tickets rather than all of them, it makes it look like a fair game when it is anything but. They also purposely send more winning tickets than usua
