PB $83.1 million cashReply
A real player will play, even with the odds stacked against them as they are now with the new matrix!To complain about the cash pay-out being less than half of the annuity would get all of us players Nowhere! The MUSL don't give a sh_t if we like what they did or not!

Powerball lottery jackpot climbs to $167 millionReply
mt:The new PB annuity INCREASES each year. You probably did not figure that in your calculation. The lump sum is now more attractive than ever.

Texas Lottery jackpot game tickets in sales declineReply
Lotto TX should go back to a 6/54 with no bonus ball. Adding taxable prizes to a jackpot would be similar in question as annuity-only prizes.

Lotto Texas - World's Worst Jackpot Game?Reply
How about this.Matrix : 6/50Min. Jackpot : $1,000,000 Annuity Avg. Prize % Of Pool Odds Match 6 JACKPOT 44% 1 : 15,890,700 Match 5 $2,500 8% 1 : 60,192 Match 4 $90 16% 1 : 1,200 Match 3 $10 32% 1 : 60 Portion of sales put towards prizes : 52.5%Overall Odds : 1 in 56.888A lot of money is put towards smaller prizes, but the jackpot still gets the biggest chunk. This would help carve a better niche between Texas Two-Step and Mega Millions.

I translated some of it. It doesn't say anything about payouts, other than the jackpot. But here's a list of some important info. Pega means Pick, so Pega 3 would mean Pick 3. Loto is an annuity game with a cash option. Revancha is an add-on game to Loto. It costs $0.50 and the only prize is the jackpot.

Did Hot Lotto begin five years too late?Reply
Another sign HL is in bad shape: The latest jackpot winner made the wrong choice. Powerball got the hint after two consecutive winners chose annuity.

PA Lottery to start Powerball ticket promotionReply
Ripoff? Hummmm. Never bought bottled water have you? Depending where you live, one bottle of water equals a Power Play ticket.Without marketing, life would be dull. No movie awards. No music awards. No lottery. Marketing is the name of the game - thats why the annuity is the only number listed on the ticket machine.
