Virginia Mega Millions $348 million lottery winner plans to buy lawnmower with record prizeReply
@Tucker Black I do agree with you on the interest. The winner gets all the interest and that is why the amount being paid out after the 30 years is way more than the cash at hand/bank today. What I like about the lump sum is that the money is invested in very safe government bonds. If the US government bonds fail, then the economy is all failed, doesn't matter where your money is, there would be a ripple effect. If I won the jackpot today, I would put all the money in government bond

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
I love this - was looking forward to it. Change is good - keeps things interesting. I think it should spread to Australia, Canada and Europe as well. I like that they will keep the ticket cost at $2 in the US. Hope for an increase in the jackpot reset amount. I would have liked if they scrapped the taxes on the US side of things if the game won't be taxed on the UK side. I hope that on the UK side the annuity does not get affected by the death of a jackpot winner since th

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
the price hike could have been a response to slowing sales There's absolutely no question about it. Lottery revenue has been generally going downhill for years and the lotteries have been trying to stop the decrease or at least slow it down. One of the first huge jackpots was when MM reached $656 million in March 2012 on the 18th drawing. It reached 290 on the 16th drawing and then increased 73 363 and 293 656. A year and a half later in December 2013 it reached $257 million on drawing

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
In Colorado, we have a $50 scratcher with a top prize of $3 million. Unlike MM, you really do get $3 million, not half that as a cash value. The probability of winning $3 million is 1 in 600,000. This is 48,412% better than MM. It's 4,841% better after adjusting for the price difference (probability of winning the MM jackpot with 10 tickets). The payback percentage for this $50 scratcher is 80%. Even with the current jackpot of $391.7 million, the value of a $5 MM ticket is $2.47, just u

MM and PB jackpot increases.Reply
MM went up $25M and PB$ 13.7M yet MM is the one that gets criticized for smaller increases. MM is offering a bit more than twice as much money, not counting the larger non-jackpot prizes. M is also putting about twice as much money toward the jackpot for each ticket thanks to the $5 price. Powerball has a lot more regular players who are not addicts. Maybe. Ignoring the current run because initial sales are always bigger than normal after a run that reaches $1 billion or more, the
