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

I hear ya MsBee.... I always thought it was nice having 2 options at the same price to have the jackpots rise at noticable rates. The MM is a big yawn and isn't creating the interest that it used to just 10 months ago. Look at the increase for the run for the last Billion dollar jackpot that happened last December 27,2024: https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Documents/jackpotestimates/mm20241227.pdf It got to the $619M Annuity on Tuesday and the next draw skyrocketed to $6

The Previous $2/$3 a Line ratio of Annuity to Cash is an average of about 170.3% We rounded it down to 166.7% to give MM a benefit of the doubt and match the starting ratio from our Power Regression Average. It makes the Previous Annuity slightly smaller than what it would normally average to. The Current $5 a Line ratio is about 222.5% and it comes from the current values established by MM's own posted jackpots. Average = 170.3% Average = 222.5% Index Date Annuity Cash Rati
