Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $16 million to $166 million. This is the first time in this run the jackpot increased more than the minimum. This means the jackpot is fully funded from sales and the jackpot increases should continue to be fairly large. But the jackpot increases will probably not be VERY large until the Powerball jackpot is won. The Powerball jackpot is currently almost three times larger at $449 million. The Mega Millions jackpot reached $166 million after 11 rolls. I

Bill could increase lottery prize payouts to Pennsylvania playersNews Story
Legislation would free up funds for bigger prizes By Kate Northrop A Pennsylvania bill that would effectively increase lottery prize payouts to players is awaiting final approval on the Governor's desk. Pennsylvania lottery players may be raking in larger prizes if House Bill 1058 passes, which would reduce the required profit margins the Pennsylvania Lottery is required to take in for state programs. House Bill 1058 has officially passed both the Senate and House, now awaiting a

Numerous State Lottery holdoutsReply
I think one person hit cash ball in three years, . Cash ball should not be so impossible to hit considering other states have similar drawings with winners about once a week. When comparing games, you should have all the necessary (true) facts at hand before making such statements. Ticket sales. odds, and number of winners are all relevant. In 2024, KY Cash Ball Ticket sales were $10,636,000 Avg tickets sold each day is 29,140 Jackpot odds are 1,309,000 On average, you'd

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot is now $302 million. The difference between the Mega Millions jackpot and the Powerball jackpot increased again by only $1 million. This is the third time in a row, the difference between the two jackpots increased by exactly $1 million. Sales are definitely down since both jackpots are growing slower than they used to. Mega Millions has reached $302 million after 17 rolls. The 17 roll jackpot record for Mega Millions is $489 million (62% larger). The Powerball jac

Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
Evidently it must have been against company policy for employees to purchase rejected tickets The stories I've seen have said the policy is that employees can't buy (any) lottery tickets at the store they work at , not just while they're working. There's also the whole deception angle of attempting to buy the ticket in the hopes that the company didn't yet know they owned a ticket worth far more than face value. I don't see any way that it was a lawful sale/purchase. Unprecedented move

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Since the Powerball jackpot was just won, again it is highly unlikely it will catch up to the Mega Millions jackpot. I'm fairly sure PB can catch up, but it will take a long time. The last time they each got past a $900 million annuity PB took just over 3 months (9/8 to 12/10) to reach 930. MM (with 2/3 as many drawings per week) took 4 1/2 months (7/1 to 11/14) to reach 980. PB took 40 rollovers to get there and MM took 39. For those that still don't understand why MM starts with a series

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I tend to agree with almost everything you wrote, but there is one thing I'm not sure about. In Pennsylvania (a state that's held a Millionaire Raffle for maybe the last 20 consecutive years) something happened six or seven years ago that was caused by what some called Raffle Fatigue on the part of players. In almost every year, the PA Lottery usually begins selling Millionaire Raffle tickets in early October, and the drawing is held shortly after The New Years Day Holiday. Although I c

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I'm thinking about buying more tickets, but the big question for me is how many would I buy? I posted above that I won 40 bucks (cash) and I did buy one ticket with that money. I still have the other twenty dollar bill in my wallet, so maybe I'll buy another ticket with that. For now I'm keeping my eye on the raffle just to see what happens. Sales have been slow... about 3600 a day, so if they remain slow that'll have some bearing on whether or not I'll buy more. I'm a fan of raffles..

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I have my doubts that 2 million tickets can be sold considering the time of year The Florida Lottery is running what they're calling 'a promotion'. The Pennsylvania Lottery's Millionaire Raffle ticket selling window is during the fourth quarter of the year. It gets a nice boost in sales during Christmas when people gift raffle tickets. The maximum number of tickets that can be sold is 500,000 and for many years The PA Lottery has had no problem selling all 500,000 tickets. The Florida Lotte
