Everyone should buy only one ticket for any gameReply
There is really no difference between 1 and 1000 tickets if luck is against you. Curry was lucky to win this big with one ticket, that's all. A few jackpots ago I believe the guy bought $20 worth of tickets and one won.

MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT SOARS TO $636 MILLIONReply
I think California has won more Mega Million jackpots than any other state. If the lucky few in that state cannot win Super Lotto, they have a chance with MM. Even with the new extra terrible odds.

quick pick vs self pick--for 12/17 MM drawReply
For me a combination QP and self pick. 99% QP vs self pick for me personally. I think like 75% of jackpots are won with QP because, not coincidentally enough 75% of all tickets sold are QP.

Big MM/PB Jackpots: 1 winner, or spread the wealth?Reply
Nothing ruins a lottery faster than share the wealth ideas if taken seriously by those running them. Ohio had a great game with its Super Lotto back in the day when someone decided $20M was enough one ticket to win and leave something for the next winners. Even PB got rid of their cap idea when they changed their matrix to get bigger jackpots faster.

who oversees the Mega Millions and PowerballReply
Also since all participating state lotteries are sending them more than 30% of their MM/PB sales dollars for the jackpots, they also have an interest in their drawings being on the level.

Mathematics and the LotteryReply
Stefan Mandel and his syndicate look for lotteries with jackpots amounts that far exceed the cost of buying every possible combinations. There just aren't that many such games around since he tried that and won the Virginia lottery back in 1992 with only 8M possible combinations. Most lotteries today are won long before they reach that point.

With new Mega Millions matrix... how do you choose your numbers?Reply
Good idea. I just decided to use death years also and scrolled through family members from generations ago in my tree on Ancestry.com. I will be glad when the MM is won so I can stop playing it until it reaches top 5 jackpots again.
