POWERBALL CREATES WORLD'S FIRST BILLION-DOLLAR JACKPOTReply
Greetings .... At first I thought about skipping Tuesday's Mega Millions to play extra Powerball numbers. Then I decided that I would stick with my pre-picked Powerball numbers and buy a couple of Mega Millions tickets. My reasoning -- if I happen to have a significant win on Tuesday's Mega Millions, then I'll get out early Wednesday Morning to play extra Powerballs. Besides -- The Mega Millions $ 15 million annuitized jackpot may be modest compared to PowerBall's, but it would pay rent qu

You know what this Powerball first billion does? It makes Mega Millions look bad...Reply
Good point. Rebranding it as Mega Billions with a new insane matrix with odds of winning measured in the billions. The name Mega Millions now seems nearly as silly as having a game called Mega Thousands. Or I suppose Mega Millions could keep the same name like Motel 6 and Super 8 did, despite motel rates increasing, and cater to the budget player who balks at spending more than $1 per line.

Powerball Lottery Game Sales At $2 Ticket Cost Versus $1 Ticket CostReply
By paying $2.00 for a Power Ball ticket (odds 175 Millions-to-1), it brings the odds closer to the $1.00 Mega Millions ticket (odds 259 Millions-to-1). Because if you payed the same $2.00 for the Mega Millions (2 tickets/draws), it brings the odds down to 129.5 millions-to-1. If they ever did decide to drop the cost of the Power Ball back down to $1.00, they would have to increase the odds because buying $2.00 in the Power Ball (new $1.00 ticket with the original odds) would have odds of 87.5 m

Powerball change?Reply
I haven't looked back farther than the past 4 years but Powerball and Mega Millions matrix changes tend to take effect (sales) on a Sunday with the first drawing of the new matrix being the following drawing. Powerball 2012 changed Jan. 15 (Sun), first draw Jan. 18 (Wed), Mega Millions 2013 changed Oct. 19 (Sun), first drawn Oct. 22 (Tuesday). I'm inclined to believe it has something to do with seasonality and how the lotteries like to track sales.

My biggest hit from mega millions this year is $25 big ones and powerball is $35 big ones but on my state lotto megabucks I hit four numbers for $193.20 in august.

Mega Millions and Powerball will be hit this week.Reply
ThatScaryChick I hope you hit Mega Millions jackpot. If not Mega then hit Powerball jackpot. I hope you hit the Idaho state lottery. The jackpot should be few millions.
