Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
MM increased $15M, up to $346M. PB is $172M. CDanaT before you tell us the MM is 'Measly' compare the MM and PB jackpots and consider taking a remedial math course. Good Luck in whatever you do play.

Illinois Lottery shells out $7.1 million after players win big with 7-7-7-7Reply
It depends on the state. Michigan had a big payout with the number 1028. If I'm not mistaken, the total prize won was over $9 million. I still think one of the biggest jackpots was on 1010. In February of 2010 the payout was $21.6 million.

Annuity or Cash Value
Cash values of the MM PB jackpots are around 45% of the advertised Annuity. What would be your choice ?

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Hmmm Two jackpots in a row won by two ticketholders each draw ..... I smell a $ 2.5 bil jackpot on the horizon. I play for the larger jackpots .... that's just my game ...... call me greedy but, that's how I roll. So what is y'all's take on which multistate game will reach one billion dollars first? Have a shaggy day! ShagE3

UK lottery winner misses claims deadline for £10.6 million jackpotReply
That's the harsh reality of the UK's 180-day claim window, strict from the October 4 draw date right up to April 2, and now that 10.6m heads straight to good causes instead. Makes Dave's Waking Ned Devine reference hit even harder, since real-life tragedies like sudden death do explain a chunk of these unclaimed jackpots. Subscribing online like dannyct mentioned is smart insurance here, as it auto-claims everything without the ticket risk.

Arkansas lottery winner of $250.8 million Powerball jackpot claims prizeReply
Arkansas is on fire with these Powerball jackpots, first that massive $1.817 billion on Dec 24, 2025 (numbers 4-25-31-52-59 PB 19, cash $834.9M pre-tax), then this $250.8M from March 2 (2-17-18-38-62 PB 20, $118M cash option). Smart move claiming through a trust keeps the winner's name private under Arkansas rules, unlike states that force full disclosure. Todd's right to debunk the fake rumors; official releases confirm anonymity for both, no E****n or local lady ties, just pure luck hitting 1-

winter bird, Calling Mega Millions measly by people who do not have near the jackpots says a lot about those people. Tucker Black, One more time no one is pointing a gun at you and demanding you play.
