Lotto fever isn't what it used to beNews Story
Sure, there was a buzz Tuesday. Sure, people dreamed. Sure, people blacked out their favorite numbers birthdays and anniversaries hoping for luck to strike. The chance to win a cool $250 million, though, didn't seem to draw the crazed stampede of wannabe Trumps that it has in the past. In 1984, a then-record $40 million jackpot in Illinois actually caused people to fly in from overseas to take a stab at it. For some, huge jackpots such as the one offered by the Mega Millions lottery in

Successful lottery winners don't change too muchNews Story
Eleven years after hitting a $1 million jackpot in the New York Lottery's 7-11-21 game, Agnes Jackman got some free advice on how to handle her winnings. In a 1991 Money magazine cover story titled Midway Through a Million, financial planner Gary Schatsky suggested investing in money market funds, certificates of deposit and U.S. government bonds. He also told Jackman to stop spending money on lottery tickets. She rejected his guidance. And now, seven years after cashing her last inst

A Tutorial in Progressive WageringReply
CT Yes...that is true. In the case of a 50/50 chance, you would be in a position to have to play the Martingale progression as you pointed...the doubling up of your bet after a loss. I would NEVER advocate such a strategy. That is the fastest way to ruin imaginable. In the lottery, you aren't playing a 50/50 chance, so your bets increasing would be much flatter than the ultra-steep Martingale. For instance, I use a technique in blackjack called Oscar's Grind. It involves a scenario whereby

Probability of a MegaMillions rollover.Reply
It depends on what you mean by a long string of low level wins and a large jackpot. There are several ways to interpret your question, and I will give you just one based on recent events. Between April 21 and August 1 of this year, we had a string of runs in which the jackpot never passed $100M in advertised annuity value. The lengths of the runs in this period were 8 (about average) followed by below average length runs of 5, 4, 3, 6 and 4 draws. Working from my modeling program,
