Texas Lottery Commission votes to ban lottery couriersReply
Come on man. Your calling people idiots. Not cool. Everyone has there right to their opinion. Like you saying. The jackpots will increase past 10 million. You don't know that for a fact. Because technically it's new up to this point.

Texas Lottery Commission votes to ban lottery couriersReply
I'd like to reiterate that banning couriers will not solve the problem. Jackpots have been purchased by a large group (buying all the combinations) without couriers before. Have you read our investigation ? Highly recommend you give it a read for more clarity, it also explains how a buyout was accomplished without the help of a courier and how they are being punished when there is actually a simple fix for it.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I do not understand. Everyone complains the starting jackpots are not big enough. So Mega Millions sets a starting jackpot larger than any other starting jackpot in history, and you complain they are robbing Peter . There is no pleasing some people.

First big win of new Mega Millions game is one ticket in Ohio worth $112 millionReply
To get the billion dollar jackpots they are going to have to go to 75 numbers in the main matrix. Plus add another in the Mega ball to make it 25 again. That'll get it up there.

Mega Vs Power, Something is off..Reply
I guess it's time for a reminder about how jackpots (cash and annuity) are calculated. The cash option is NOT a calculated fraction of the annuity.

First drawing of new Mega Millions game produces 5X more winnings compared to older versionReply
If they are selling around 45% fewer tickets and that continues then a few things mathematically will happen: 1) The jackpots will be won less frequently 2) The average jackpot will will higher 3) A new world record jackpot amount will be well over $2 billion and maybe $3 billion. The prior record was in 2023 @ $1.602 billion. I think #3 is the main reason for the change. Megamillions can then say, Wow, our jackpots are the largest in the world because it used to be Powerball at

First drawing of new Mega Millions game produces 5X more winnings compared to older versionReply
Glad to see that day one sales tanked. Perhaps in part due to no advance plays sitting in the system. Time will tell. The bad part is, the last time there was a $50-something million jackpot on 1/31/25, they paid out $1.5M more than they did on Tuesday. So they're raking in way more money, playing out way less and the increase in the two jackpots was identical. The only party that made out on the price increase was the game itself.

will you play the new $5 mega millions?Reply
Speaking of the starting jackpot. What ever happened there.? I remember they pulled that stunt. If I recall correctly. They dropped it to 20 million starting because of the plandemic. Did they switch it back? Or still the same? Seems the jackpots take longer to get bigger. And I wonder if they sold more then 20 million where did that denero go!?
