Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
We find it interesting that back in 2020 Powerball went from a $40 Million starting jackpot to a $20 Million starting jackpot, but yet, seems to be doing pretty well building up to that Billion Dollar prize with a $2.00 a Line Play and the Optional Added $1.00 Power Play .

Connecticut couple of 25 years celebrates with $100,000 Powerball lottery winReply
Today l asked my DeepSeek Ai a very interesting question . How much do l need to win in lottery to receive $1,000,000,000 cash after lump sum and after Tax ? The answer was interesting To determine how much you need to win in the lottery to receive **$1,000,000,000 cash after lump sum and taxes**, we need to account for two main deductions: 1. **Lump-Sum Reduction**: Lottery jackpots are typically advertised as annuities (paid over 30 years), but winners usually opt for a lump-s

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
Watch the video. Pretty simple to understand. Reading is fundamental. 1. A state only allowed anonymous claiming for $10 million plus wins and the jp was under that amount. 2. A young guy in his 20s decided to take the yearly annuity of 350k. 3. The attorney argued that based on the expected lifespan of this young person, the total annuities would easily exceed $10 million over his expected lifespan. THUS HE WAS ALLOWED TO CLAIM ANONYMOUSLY. A very creative legal argument that worke

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Since the Powerball jackpot was just won, again it is highly unlikely it will catch up to the Mega Millions jackpot. I'm fairly sure PB can catch up, but it will take a long time. The last time they each got past a $900 million annuity PB took just over 3 months (9/8 to 12/10) to reach 930. MM (with 2/3 as many drawings per week) took 4 1/2 months (7/1 to 11/14) to reach 980. PB took 40 rollovers to get there and MM took 39. For those that still don't understand why MM starts with a series

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
Which foreign lottery games can I participate in as an American while physically in the United States? I m not referring to shady websites or third party sellers that claim you can purchase tickets online . I can't go to the Euromillions website right now and purchase a ticket as American in the USA. You can only do this if you are in one of the official participating countries That s my main point. But I wouldn t say America has the best lottery games that s just an opinion. I think tax-fre

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
I play Lucky for Life regularly and what I like most is the grand prize payout structure. If you take the For Life annuity, it pays out weekly instead of annually. $7k minus taxes so $4.5k ish direct deposited every week is a very good paycheck. I don t know if every state has the same payout structure but in Colorado s official rules it states weekly direct deposits starting from the 2nd check (you get the first check the day you claim it). I know most people would take the $5.7m lump sum (

would you play a multi country lottery?Reply
Yes I would under the following conditions. 1. Keep the ticket cost at $2 2. Remove the annuity nonsense and only have cash value 3. Like most countries in Europe - give zero $$$ to Uncle Sam as taxes. Mmh, I see a 5 Billion jackpot, unless they have the must win when it gets to a certain amount and the money distributed across second or third and fourth etc, like they do in some countries

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
I would like to make special mention of the #24 jackpot on the annuity list, since it is close to falling off the list. Long-timers here may remember what an incredible watershed time that was, when Mega Millions hit $656 million. By the afternoon of the drawing, the jackpot was bumped up to $640 million. Check out the level of excitement in the story and comments: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/244310 By draw time, when the final sales were calculated, the jackpot settled at $65

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I wonder if more people are waiting for the jackpot to reach $1 Billion especially with the price increase. I don't know if people are waiting for an even billion, but they're definitely waiting longer. The increase if nobody wins tonight is from 843 to 900, but it would have been 843 894 if the interest rate hadn't gone (back) up a bit. The cash increase is $23.6 million. The last 2 times MM got to 900ish the annuity increases were 815 893 (3/19/24) and 760 862 and then 862 1 billion (12/2
