MM - End of a Great StreakReply
Yeah the starting jackpots for Powerball and Mega Millions are more than the Illinois Lotto game normally sees; it takes the Illinois Lotto jackpot weeks upon weeks of rolls to get to $12 million!!

First Time Ever -- 2 Mega Millions WinnersReply
Just when you thought you had the lottery down to a science, it throws you yet another curve ball. Humans believe that many people may be more deserving to win/share larger jackpots, and only one should win smaller ones. But it looks like the lottry could not care less, and does not exhibit the same favoritism. Imagine several winners for a jackpot under $1 million dollars! Ouch.

MM - End of a Great StreakReply
ryanm,In answer to your question do you play to win, or raise the jackpot , I play to win. That is why I rarely play Mega Millions. I spent less than $10 on Mega Millions for the entire year.Many players enjoy large jackpots. From that perspective, Mega Millions has brought joy to many people.

I don't think it's that odd or strange that a lower jackpot was won by more then one person. I agree with Prob that it was bound to happen sometime. We can't always have huge jackpots, which is fine with me.

The most QP's you have ever played?Reply
I think I am going to try about 50 QPs or more one month, and the next my own numbers and compare the differences. Even if I do win with the QPs. I would really be confused if I won back to back jackpots.

Uncle Sam Wins Your LotteryReply
Good thing Canadian (and other countries') winners don't have this problem. BUT, our US Jackpots on average are much higer than what those countries have (El Gordo is an exception that comes to mind) Viva La USA BABY lol

Ohio players - Lot'O PlayReply
Where did you come up with information that MI and OH were considering a joint jackpot game? They both share MegaMillions which caused a 20% drop in MI's BigGame sales when OH joined the MegaMillions group. Unless both are willing to support a game like SuperLotto with jackpots of $4-$20 millions and similar odds, I don't think a new game would attract enough players to be successful, it's hard to sell a game that cost more and has smaller payouts as an improvement over existing games which se

Group of same numbers for many draws.Reply
When I play Pick 3, which isn't very often, I usually try to stick with a group of the same numbers for about a week. But I also play in one state and I don't play online. With the large jackpots I have a system and I don't play the same numbers over.

Article: Lotteries still directed to poorReply
I agree justexploring, some of us like playing the big jackpots even if the odds are really stacked against us. I think that when it comes to playing the game, you've got to know your limits and how much you can spend without going over your means.

We all have our vices and toys. Some people smoke, some go to Happy Hour and some of us buy a few lottery tickets every week. I agree it's a problem for a few, but for others it's a chance to beat the odds. I just wish they'd stop creating games with more numbers to get higher jackpots. I'd rather see a winner twice a week win $3 million than one person win $40 million after several rollovers.
