Is Cash Only a predictor? If so I would like to play all his numbers, and if I hit it big choose the annuity option. I wonder if that would tick him off?

Oklahoma/Hot LottoReply
Yeah, Hot Lotto should be like the Illinois Lotto, and start its jackpots at $2 million annuity with minimum rollovers of $500,000 (IL Lotto's minimum rollovers are actually $250,000, but keep in mind it draws three nights a week, and its minimum rollover when it had only two was $500,000). However, it probably needs more states to join before it can do that.

Maybe you should stop trying to decide what is best for others to play. I still do not know why you even care how much money someone else wins, or how they choose to claim it. Annuity or cash, it is all still cash period...

Probability of a Rollover in Powerball.Reply
The Powerball jackpot has been won. The prize resets to $15M annuity, $7.3 cash. I estimate about 14,000,000 in sales which gives the following rollover probabilities: 090.86%18.71%20.42%30.01%

PowerballReply
Oh yeah, I think Powerball does take money out of its jackpot to fund the set cash prize reserve. While the MUSL reported that the annuitized prize was $113.2 million, based on sales for this run, according to http://www.lottoreport.com/powerballsales.htm , the cash value of the jackpot should be $56,419,432, which amounts to an annuity value of approximately $115.9 million. The cash value of the jackpot according to MUSL is approximately $55.1 million, which means the states kept the other

Nothing. I was trying to keep it simple for someone from a state that just started a lottery. I don't want her playing NY Cheapo or the annuity-only scratch games.

worst gift?Reply
As far as lottery subscriptions as gifts, the worst games are MA Megabucks and NY Lotto. Megabucks is annuity-only; NY Lotto pays back only 40%.

Rhode Island and MassachusettsReply
MA is mentioned frequently here on Lottery Post. You have the very good (Ca$h WinFall), as well as the very bad (annuity-only scratch games and Megabucks) within the same state.As for RI, I wish it had MUSL Hot Lotto (closest to you is New Hampshire).

Bold print is easier to read. People like stuff that easy and fun. This tit for tat isn't going anywhere constructive;I have a question: What's better: the annuity or the cash option?

Holiday GiftsReply
I have one of each, Megabucks, Mass Cash and CASH WinFall. I prefer lump sum payouts but, I won't refuse an annuity if I am lucky enough to win Megabucks. I can cry all the way to the bank.
