Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
No sir...last time I played in a pool for the MM has been many years, maybe even a 15 years or more.... PB, I have played with a few folks but only when the jackpot gets foolish.

would you play a multi country lottery?
there was some chatter about powerball expanding to other countries with one shared prize pool. for me that would be a permanent turn off regardless of which countries. what do you think?

Answer Me This...Reply
Sure. It's definitely possible that The Florida Lottery changed the percentage of net sales allocated to the winners prize pool. (50%) They could have even changed the percentage of the winners prize pool allocated to the top prize. (62%) But that's not what they did or what happened at all. From reading Fantasy5's Official Rules I didn't see any percentages that changed when the midday drawing was added. It's also true that net sales for FF5 could be down in general these days due to player

Florida's Fantasy 5Reply
I need to correct this statement in my post above - Therefore if a jackpot payable to a player for last nights Evening drawing is $110,000, then that is 62% of the total prize pool which had to be approximately $177,000. I should have written it this way - Therefore if a jackpot payable to a player for last nights Evening drawing is $110,000, then that's 62% of the WINNING prize pool which had to be approximately $177,000. My apologies for my confusion. G5

89 second prize winners for the powerballReply
Be nice to see a breakout of the 89 winners as to how many were QP's Without knowing the actual breakdown we won't know for sure, but we can see what the probabilities are. There were about 9.5 million tickets sold and it's fairly safe to assume that no more than 80%, or a maximum of 7.55 million, were QP. For that many tickets the chances of selling 1 to 5 5+0 winners are, respectively, 33.82%, 10.89%, 2.34%, 0.38%, and 0.05%. I deliberately rounded up in a few places so the actual chances

Balancing Odds and Cost 😁Reply
A lot of players talk about or are thinking about value when buying a lottery ticket. That's fine if that's important to a player. As for me personally, because of the ridiculous odds against players, I don't give value any thought at all. When I buy tickets all I'm thinking about is What could/would I do with it if I won a big pile of money? I know and accept the fact that I'll probably never actually have the pleasure of making that decision. My attitude is if I don't win, it's no bi

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
After reading the article a few more times very carefully here is what I get from the article: Everything in the article above the following section is yadda, yadda, yadda from the PB Lottery until some solid information (maybe subject to change?) comes along. US state lotteries and the UK National Lottery will pool funds only for the Powerball jackpot, not lower-tier prizes. Tickets purchased in the UK will contribute the same fixed US dollar amount per play to the jackpot pool as ticke

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
You are forgetting that more and different online gambling is being permitted by some states such as sports gambling and casino gambling apps. There is a limited pool of player money with more and more competitors. Hey! The Powerball jackpot is $50 million... Wait,oh! Look at the squirrel

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Since the Powerball jackpot was just won, again it is highly unlikely it will catch up to the Mega Millions jackpot. Looks like your pool will be on the PB sideline for quite a while
