PA Raffle Countdown to 500,000 ...Reply
Ron5995 ... very good post to make things a little better to understand in lottery terms. A person can study all the games ... try to figure out the odds and the best game to play ... but in walks a person that has never played the lottery ... they buy a ticket and win $400 million dollars !!! I'm guessing a seasoned lottery player just throws all his lottery sheets in the air and walks in front of a cement truck ! ... or not, just keep playing and hope Lady Luck is somewhere in the ne

And if by chance some group of persons in history or now did find a way to make a dent in the odds - big changes then, since they were part of the NEW WAVE they may just make that information free and virally we'd all make a little bit of money on the Powerball en masse and consistently - my feeling is that our Government would very soon shut down the games - our government is not interested in our welfare as they are saying but the reverse - to actually force us on their ''welfare' and control.

Powerball Matrix Change - April 15, 2015Reply
It all boils down to allocation. Power PLUS allocates more of its prize pool to the lower prizes, which is why they are higher. Therefore it is highly unlikely the PP jackpot will ever be larger than that of the base drawing. I'm sure this was intentional. And again, yes the odds are the same, but it only costs half as much ($1 per play, though technically it's conditional on spending $2 first). So it balances out. I agree, they should boost the overall payout percentage. I have been sayin

Powerball Matrix Change - April 15, 2015Reply
Thank you for the details. The proposed Powerball with Power Plus is even more of a ripoff than I'd imagined. And confusing!! This has fail written all over it. In particular, the second drawing part. Seems foolish to spend an extra $1 for a second draw with the same exact odds as the first, but pays far, far less for the grand prize (which we now learn isn't even a set prize - yikes!). And the second place prize pays half that of the first drawing, and yet the lower tier prizes pay more. Biz

States pull the plug on Monopoly Millionaires' ClubReply
Long time lurker here; finally got off my butt to make an account, just because of this. When this game was launched, so many people talked negatively about it here, but I was intrigued. I don't know how it was elsewhere, but I know here in the Detroit area, it wasn't well explained. Even the retailers didn't seem to get all the nuances of it. Some didn't even seem to know that the webcode was for a chance to be on the TV show; one it particular told me that it was an online chance to win pri

Powerball Matrix Change - April 15, 2015Reply
Glad I could share! Now it makes no sense to ever spend the extra dollar since 2nd place would only be 500,000 and getting 5 numbers with the powerball would be 10 million. At this point I still believe that Power Up will be a separate drawing; this reconciles some of the information I heard at the conference this year regarding increasing the matrix and adding a second-chance element. So in that case, there would be the main drawing and even if you lose, it is possible you could win the

OK HERE IS MY SOLUTION FOR THE MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRE CLUB The biggest problem with the monopoly millionaires club is the name . The name has to be changed from the monopoly millionaires club to the new monopoly Billionaires club . So why does this matter well no big lottery game survives without a big jackpot like my name joeBiglotto so this game is good at $5 per ticket but the jackpot is not good for a lottery buying frenzy. So the maximum jackpot of this game has to be changed from the cu

Well, do you think they figured out that $5 for a one line ticket was a little extreme? Hardly for the faint of wallet! I gave up playing the Powerball because it went to $2 a ticket and am thinking of giving up the MM at a $1 per ticket, just cause you're looking to get struck by lightening like 10x over on that one to win considering the odds with 5/75 and 1/15! And then take into account something like 25 plus states are involved.. get real. They just don't want anyone to win but they

feedback from players across the nation who desired a game with the potential to make many people millionaires I haven't seen the feedback but I'm guessing most people wanted a game where the many millionaires were real instead of potential . How do they expect to develop games that will be successful if they do the research and still don't know what people are asking for? PB and MM have been reliably making millionaires since the 2nd place prizes were increased to $1 million. If they ho
