Mega Millions getting boringReply
Any lottery game is boring to the losers, but it's the losers that create the larger jackpots. Adding more numbers will just create more chances to lose for the losers and the losers will be even more bored when someone wins a even larger jackpot. The Powerball had a nice jackpot size last Christmas under its new set-up and it's jackpot still climbs faster than the MM jackpot with the better odds.RJOh

Write new Exec. Dir. of the PA LotteryReply
Lottoscorp: PA _already_ has a Cash 5. The right type of replacement game would be Hot Lotto or a six-number jackpot game with odds in the 10 million- 15 million:1 range.

Mega Millions - 03/21/2003Reply
To AnnuityIsGreat,No I did not play any numbers in the MM games last night because the jackpot was only $12M and the Ohio649P is $14M which has better odds so I may play 50 lines in the Ohio game tonight.What is ROI? Those fiftytwo numbers would have matched 3 once and the bonus ball once for $9. I'm always picking numbers to play and checking them even if I don't play them, most of the time I don't post them.I hope if I pick 50 lines for tonight's Ohio drawing, they will do better. RJOh

QUINTO (Washington state)Reply
Cotti: Quinto has the LONGEST odds of any pick-5 game. If Quinto were to be replaced with an all-number game, the number pool almost certainly would be 39 or less. A new pick-5 most likely would give winners a better return for matching 3 or 4 numbers.

I did it FINALLY!!Reply
Cplus,Sorry I'm a little late, but a big congradulations to you. Old Irish Mike hit that one too. I saw the same thing you did, along with Mike telling me how he'd play it, but when your dumb in the head the whole body suffers. Start looking for two odds and one even that aren't in the previous drawing .

How much do you spend on lotteries?Reply
I usually spend $20 a week but if the pot gets high, greater than $50M, I'll add another ten or so.ROJ makes a great point! Think lottery as an entertainment. Don't spend if you can't afford to. As far as picking natural or QP, it's all up to you. The odds are still the same. Some people have a lot more fun picking their own selections.As far as lump sum or annuity, CHOOSE ANNUITY, it always makes sense!

$500 million jackpot...when?Reply
Back when the game was 1 in about 76 million, the jackpot got up to $363 million, so it's possible to get to $500 million with the current odds.I don't Powerball will make it, though, because of the $25 million growth limiter on record jackpots.

$500 million jackpot...when?Reply
To get jackpots of $500,000,000 you would need to have odds of 1 in about 200,000,000. That would make the game have longer jackpot rolls which would mean bigger jackpots. What do you guys think?Brad
