Data breach at lottery tech vendor Brightstar exposes personal info of over 100,000 individualsReply
Mega Millions Price hike : In April 2025, the price of a Mega Millions ticket more than doubled, increasing from $2 to $5. This price jump was not well-received by many customers, leading them to stop playing. While the overall dollar intake and lottery profits have increased in some areas, the number of tickets sold has dropped significantly. The sharp downward trend, according to Mass Lottery Executive Director Mark William Bracken, can be traced directly to the size or rather the lack th

Does Lottery Software work?Reply
I like the argument from hypersoniq that the lottery is memoryless. It does not remember the past draws. This is especially true of ball draws, not sure about computer generated draws. The truth is if there was a system that worked, we would have jackpot winners almost every drawing or every other draw, but we don't, more so for the bigger jackpots, PB, MM and other larger State games like those in Texas and California. I mostly play QPs, but once in a while I try to do my own ab

Florida's Fantasy 5Reply
Hi MsBee! Nice to hear from you. Sorry to say that I haven't been playing FF5 like I once did. Lately I've been playing PB and recently had back to back hits. Last week I won $8 in each of two consecutive drawings.... The Florida Lottery ruined FF5 jackpots when they went to two drawings per day. I kept playing after they did that, but I cut way down on FF5. When I did play, I played the evening draw. This will sound crazy to you, but lately I've given a lot of thought to the quest

Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
I live in Montana and I feel that everyone playing should have an equal chance of winning. With bulk buying, when the buying of all number combinations guarantees a win and a profit after tax, I can't imagine that anyone thinks that is fair. It may be a smart move on the part of mega rich organizations to do this, but for the average person it is not a level playing field. I started thinking about this a long time ago as something that would happen but it took retailers to have multiple

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
2025 : The $5 MM is currently at $358M/ $164.5M CASH (20 draws), which only has to triple for my donations to begin. 2024 : The MM run from June 7th - September 10th had a total of 27 draws to get to $800 Million/$401.8M, where it was won. During that particular run, when the jackpot was also sitting at exactly $358 Million/$169.7M CASH , after just 16 draws (Remember folks, that jackpot in 2024 started at $20M with tickets at $2 a pop. As opposed to the jackpots now sta

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Jackpot fever has not taken hold yet. The revised jackpot estimate (and the lowish estimates on the last few jackpots) suggests that it might be starting. Therefore, there is a very good possibility Powerball will break the record number of consecutive rolls. The current record stands at 40. The Powerball jackpot has to roll just 4 more times to break the record. The chance of 4 more rolls based on the current worksheet on the TX lottery website is 21%, but it's probably lower. I d

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
Maybe another billion is coming! There roughly a 1 in 3 chance it will roll past $1 billion (to perhaps $1.1 billion). Oopsie. I realized a while after posting that 1 in 3 seemed way too low with the advertised jackpot already at $815 million. I had updated some older info and accidentally included probabilities for two drawings that already rolled. The PB worksheet on the Texas lottery website is estimating coverage of combinations for the next five drawings as (starting with tomo

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I'm just done with Mega Millions altogether. I played it since it was available in California, so a sample size that runs around 20ish years. The most I ever won was matching 3 numbers for probably around $10. $5 a ticket just became a barrier I wasn't willing to pass through. Whatever I would have normally spent just went to other draw games like California Fantasy 5 tickets instead. The actual jackpot total plays no part in my decision to buy a ticket or not. I also just get 1 ticket per
