Leaving Lottery Post for a Long Time (or Permanently)
We are sometimes asked about closing an account when someone is not planning on returning to Lottery Post for a long time, or ever. There is a procedure to follow, but first a few words about your Lottery Post account. Lottery Post contains a historical record of topics and discussions over the course of many years. During that time, some people have signed up and will continue to be active members for as long as their lottery intrigue is maintained, while other people have come and gon

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Since the race began when Mega Millions ticket prices were raised to $5, the Powerball jackpot reached about $1.8 billion twice. Whereas, Mega Millions reached just shy of $1 billion only once. What exactly is the race ? If we're talking about bang for the buck(s) PB's cheaper price usually makes it the better bet, but at any given moment the jackpot divided by the ticket cost is as close as there is to a sensible metric for deciding which game to play. Right now MM's chance at $138 million

$1.8 billion Powerball jackpot won by a single lottery ticket sold in ArkansasReply
Would've preferred it to have set new record myself.... I suspect that nobody is more unhappy about having a winner on Wednesday that the people at PB. Not only would a rollover have let them boat about a (possibly legitimate) new record, their 50% take for Saturday's sales would probably have been on the order of $200 million more than what it will be for a $20 million jackpot. It appears that all 292.2 million combination of tickets were sold out. The jackpot keeps growing until all 2

$167 million Powerball lottery winner arrested a THIRD TIME after burglarizing home for $12kReply
Farthing split Kentucky's record $167.3 million Powerball jackpot with his mother, Linda Grizzle, back in August 2024, claiming it on April 28, 2025. His first arrest came just a day later in Florida for battery and resisting after a resort fight, which he recently pleaded guilty to.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by the minimum $10 million to $110 million after 6 rolls. There is an estimated 1.4% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw.

New roll records were then set for the next several draws. As pointed out by KY Floyd, sales are lower for this run then the previous tw

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
For some reason, Florida is always last to the party, and it seems we won't be at this one either. We were last to join Powerball and MegaMillions also. Just as well, I suppose. We don't have a winning record with these multi-state games, and $5 a day on one game is more than I need to be spending.
