42 Chances at Powerball $39Reply

OT: Why is PA dragging its heels on replacing Super-6 ?? CASH,The only reason I can think of, on why PA is dragging out the death of Super 6, is because of the Pick 6 Lotto in NJ. Ever since NJ joined Mega Millions their Pick 6 jackpot starts at $1 Mil and grows $500K every drawing (like Super 6 is now). Occasionally the NJ Pick

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
On Page 3 of this thread I said, I will probably play when the CASH VALUE is at $500,000,000 + , referring to the new $5 MM ticket price. Now, the PB is playing their gormless games...SO....If this UK thing happens ?? I will most likely develop the same starting point--$500 Million CASH VALUE. PB leadership has shot themselves in the foot(IMHO) with their failing to restart the jackpot at $40 Million due to Covid mess in 2020-2022. That medical problem has been subsided now for 3+ years but the

my idea for a multi-state lotteryReply
What about prizes for matching 4 or 3 numbers? If there are only prizes for matching 5 or 6 no one would play the game as it is simply far too difficult to match 5+ (1 in 294k+) or you don't win anything. If you are interested in a multi-state lottery try looking at something like Australia's 6/45 Tattslotto game to help with our idea. It has been running since about 1986 and is by far our most popular lottery game.

Why the fervor over a winner being a quick pick or self pick?Reply
And I would love to know how many unique combinations should we expect if they sell 14M tickets in 6/49 game. And interestingly, i couldn't find 649 game in US. so I couldn't find how many tickets could be sold. As for PB, here are some statistics about PB: Gary Grief, chair of the Powerball game for the Multi-State Lottery Association, told ABC News that 371 million tickets had been sold for the record-breaking draw as of Wednesday afternoon (Jan 13 2016)

New England's Lucky For Life.Reply
I like that DE is getting this game but will only play as a 'fun' game as the odds/payouts really kinda suck. But that seems to be the way of things lately all the big multi-state games are upping the number of balls and making it harder to hit. So a 'for-fun' only game
