International super lottery to create jackpots of $500 million or moreReply
Well, I don't mean to suggest that I'd turn down $500 Mill. If someone offered it to me, I could always give some away and keep the amount I desired. However, I don't see anyone offering! I would not pursue it with the same zeal as I do with $ 60 and $ 80 million dollar jackpots! Not long ago there was a $ 276 Mill jackpot and a steelworker won with $2.00. I was sitting here at my computer at 6pm and could have walked 1 blk and took a pretty big swing at it. I didn't bother going, cause I just c

Gap Strategy - MegaMillions 0916Reply
Bobby, you're right. People always want $100, 200, 300 million jackpots. I'm one of them. Their reasoning, for the most part, is if they wanted a smaller jackpot they'd play their state's individual JP game. The whole idea behind multi-state lotteries is to decrease the chances of the numbers being picked over a large population demographic, thus propelling the JP amount to levels well beyond local lotteries.

New Powerball / Mega Millions SurveyReply
Seems like they want the jackpots to hit more often,,, I'm just wondering what happens when it does roll into the 100 million mark and the influx of extra players come out. It is an interesting concept.

What Would You do If You Knew The Lotteries were Cheating and You Could Prove It?Reply
I would reverse engineer their cheating methods and use it against them. The jackpots would be much easeir to win if you could prove numbers were not generated randomly.

How high could Powerball or MM get??Reply
When the matrixs of both games changed the last time, there were claims of potential jackpots up to $500M but neither have come close to that amount yet. PowerBall even put in special rules so that when the jackpot approached that amount the other prizes would increase too, but I think that rule has only been activated once.

I always get bummedReply
Yep, I feel the same way,,,Once you get into the 9 digit jackpots, its like a sense of urgency to win, because you know its going to hit. Although I don't feel bad when it gets hit, I know another run is coming.

Losing interest in lotteryReply
When ever you play the lotteries thinking your destiny is to win a jackpot because you've had a dream, used a system that guarantee a win or just believe you deserve to win more than anyone else then losing is going to be very disappointing and depressing. The facts are lots more people think that way then there are jackpots won. You have to treat playing the lotteries like any other form of gambling. When you lose interest stop playing.

Powerball multi-state lottery game to change rulesReply
I think Powerball will reclaim the jackpot record. There's 49 million more combinations, which is a 33% increase. That's huge. Hell, 1 in 1 million is a shot in the dark; much less 1 in 195 million. It's insane. Powerball will start seeing super big jackpots a lot more often now.

Powerball multi-state lottery game to change rulesReply
I don't see where I was complaining. My point, which I did not make clear, is that these games are jackpot vampires (sucking all the decent sized in-state jackpots up and giving players a jackpot drought in their place).

Powerball multi-state lottery game to change rulesReply
It doesn't really matter to me. It just means bigger jackpots and the jackpot will grow faster. Powerball is a game of fate even with its current odds.
