will you play the new $5 mega millions?Reply
Here is a breakdown of the changes, which may cause some of you to reconsider (especially if you haven't read the Lottery Post article): Mega Ball 24 - 25 will be removed, making either 24 or 23 total. KRCA says 24. Current odds are 1 in 302 million. The new odds are 1 in 278.369 million according to Lottery Post's article (23 Mega Balls?). KRCA says ~290 million (24 Mega Balls?). For reference, Powerball odds are currently 1 in 292.201 million. The new Mega Millions will be easier to win th

003 004 193 194 283 284 373 374 463 464 553 554 Also trying 131 and 311 just because they are the jackpots for the Powerball and Mega Millions. Not sure how often it happens that they are permutations of each other, but it's worth a try.

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
I wasn't a conspiracy theorist until now....... First, having 2 grand prize winners for a non-billion dollar jackpot, not surprising. Those grand prizes not being in at least one of these states (CA, TX, FL or NY) is odd. The real eyebrow raiser was out of 89 second prize winners, there was no representation from TX, FL or NY. Second, in the following drawing on 5/2, miraculously FL and TX have grand prize winners. What really raises suspicion is that 4 out of 5 numbers were outside of w

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Mentioning a conspiracy while claiming no conspiracy is just pure irony. If you'd spent enough time on the website you'd have seen dozens of them every time jackpot gets big. Just recently with someone claiming all the jackpots coming from one county in Michigan. I agree with you on one thing. There has never been so many second tier winners on a small jackpot. And if you'd read the article you'd understand the reason behind it. It's the way the playslips are for a lot of the states.

Balancing Odds and Cost 😁Reply
If I ever win something that big, most of it would be used for or left to grassroots causes. Spread out over things like a food pantry, a cat rescue, after school activities for underprivileged kids, senior care, dog shelter, and so on. All of those community needs that don't get funding because it doesn't make money for the already wealthy. Friends or family would get something, just not like 100 mil. No one needs that kind of money, including myself. What I see in big jackpots isn't a big

Help Me Understand This 😭Reply
Thank you for the encouragement on me not winning the jackpot I will spend my money at Chic -fil-A instead, , lol just kidding. I actually am not focused on the jackpots, any win is a good win, and a jackpot win is an even better win. Thank you for the perspective on the odds.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
We can safely conclude Powerball is going to win the overall race even though it may lose the occasional battle. With the game expanding to United Kingdom, the jackpots will grow much faster and most likely break new records. This is a significant change to the game.

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
My assumption.. Likely operate similarly to California .. Prizes less than the jackpot. Because they are UK, won't be taxed at payout (tax collected at point of sale). No federal tax because effectively UK lottery . Jackpots.. Because they are pooled... and payed out only as an annuity.... not sure...
