quick pick pollReply
Do tell. That clears up a lot of questions I'd been asking myself.How long did it take them to begin offering them, and how much difference did the the introduction of QPs make in ticket sales? Much contrast?Did the jackpots roll more before the QP option?Jack

the blue gameReply
They would have to change their matrix and end their idiotic limit to jackpots for that to happen. Powerball alone could beat Megamillion even with California but not the way it is now nor with the upcoming matrix change.

cash vs. annuityReply
Same for me. Plus I've heard a lot of stories about people winning jackpots and being broke in a couple of years. I can't go broke on payments.

the blue gameReply
But a very poor one. I personally like cash only tax free jackpots like in Europe. That way you win the advertised amount. Although it won't happen, just like the blue game.

powerball pollReply
The amount the jackpot rolls by after each draw, that won't change. But it should have more rolls, more often. That will get big jackpots, but it will take a while to get there. Mega Millions will roll much faster (I predict as much as $45 million per roll when it gets big), but will have a lot more winners, and a lot more draws with the minimum jackpot at stake.

Texas Lottery accused of over-inflating jackpotsReply
Maybe the great State of Texas just needs to buy up some of their own lottery tickets to jack up the revenues to whatever point will generate the sized jackpots they want to advertise. That ought to create some really outstanding food for discussion, both in the news media and in on this DB. I can see it all now: The poor and under educated government of Texas has bought $3 million dollars in Texas Super Lotto tickets to serve the cause of honesty in government, which has been conspicuously ab

If they paid something for the bonus ball, they would have more participation and they would not have to inflate their jackpots! Duh!Orangeman

Mega Millions or Powerball?Reply
The reason Mega doesn't want more states is probably because they're afraid it will saturate the game and they'd have to increase the matrix even greater, which would probably start being detrimental toward sales when the jackpots aren't very high.

mega millions pollReply
One down and four to go. Look forward to the changes maybe we can finally get some real jackpots. Kind of odd WA is in the game since it's the smallest state in the game and doesn't really have any populous neighbors.
