Here's another stat that on the surface appears to be useless, but there definitely is some value in knowing it. That fact is: #24 went missing for 67 consecutive drawings in 2012. (From 6/29/2012 to 9/3/2012) So how can knowing #24 skipped 67 drawings in 2012 help you in 2021? In FF5, 67 drawings skipped is a record. No other FF5 number has skipped that many drawings. It's a record that will very likely not be broken for a very long time. (If it ever is broken - the record was set 8 years a

Are Mega Millions sales really that bad now?Reply
I already compared three jackpot runs since the game changed and there was no significant difference so monthly sales is the only sales figure left to compare. The real problem here is as usual you're arguing for the sake of arguing presenting zero facts showing that MM sales are really that bad now and giving an accurate comparison. The current Mega Millions prize is on it's 18th draw and about two years ago, that amount of draws with no winner would have most likely had a billion dollar pri

Record Kentucky lottery salesNews Story
The Kentucky Lottery has never been bigger... or more profitable.More local retailers are using it to supplement their profits. More players are chasing the dreams of a millionaire's jackpot. And state government is putting record profits to use funding more and more educational grants and scholarships.But competition on the horizon could halt the growth of the 14-year-old venture.The figures for fiscal year 2003 released by the Kentucky Lottery Corp. earlier this month tell the story of the rec

$500 MILLION: Mega Millions sets all-time lottery jackpot recordNews Story
Friday Mega Millions jackpot rewrites the record books as the largest lottery prize the world has ever seen UPDATED 11:50 am: Jackpot revised to $500 million ($359.4 million cash) By Todd Northrop There will be a lot of daydreaming going on this week around America. Dreaming about what it would be like to win a half-billion dollars. That's because Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing did not produce a winner, sending the game into uncharted territory. The new jackpot for Friday, March

First drawing of new Mega Millions game produces 5X more winnings compared to older versionReply
3) A new world record jackpot amount will be well over $2 billion and maybe $3 billion. The prior record was in 2023 @ $1.602 billion. That's what the lottery claims, but the actual record is the $877.8 million cash jackpot that could have funded an imaginary annuity of $1.537 billion in 2018. I think #3 is the main reason for the change. I'm sure they'd like to have bragging rights, but the states get the money regardless of which game holds whatever record(s) they might claim. Wh

Pennsylvania: 8/1 - 8/31/2023Reply
Jojo good luck with the 207.............that is a good one. 207 and 720. Also did you see 979 hasn't hit boxed at night for over 6 years on nighttime that's an all time record or 2nd right behind 199 (I would have to check the exact length) so we may have a record in play or close to the old record was set by 199 years ago. No nighttime number ever went 7 years without hitting boxed. On daytime the record was set by 622 which went around 8 years and 1 month. That one became crazy hot o

As a Lottery JP winner: Would you " help" your city out if they were on the verge of bankruptcy?Reply
The issue i was raising was not about a corporation making record profits and having a issue with that, so lets not make this something it's not, it's about them not needing all these loopholes and tax breaks as well as subsidies. This country is in debt and we are borrowing money from other countries to pay our bills because we are funding those who are able to work WHO DO NOT NEED IT as well as corporations who are making record profits who DO NOT NEED IT...this was my focus. What more needs t

$550 MILLION: Mega Millions holiday bonanza!Reply
The annuity value is just vastly more inflated than it used to be. The cash value is exactly what it should be, and would be advertised as a $420 million jackpot if they hadn't changed the annuity schedule. Even that value is higher than it would have been a year ago, because interest rates are a bit higher. During the record MM run in March 2013 this cash value would have been advertised as a $411 million jackpot. Ironically, that would result in this jackpot being called the 5th largest, ev

Powerball & Megamillions GrowingReply
Well of course they're from two different runs. If they were from the same run nobody would have won the 340 and it wouldn't have been a record. I'll try this one more time, but I'm really not optimistic at this point. 1. What was the record before it was 340? Here's a hint: that record is related to somebody who's infamous around here. 2. What was the increase from that record to the $340 million record? 3. What was the payout for 5+0 winners with the $365 million jackpot?

Why so much greed?Reply
Hi, Todd. Are you the man who is fighting against computerized drawings? I loved that debate. I, too, hope that it never comes to pass. There's too much riding on allowing players to be a witness to their own luck, good or bad. It's a matter of trust and being on the up and up. Those balls mean something that a computer print-out never will. As for people being fans of the lottery... nah, it's just straight greed. A lottery can only go up and up and up so high. Yes, it's fun to watch the
