Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The supported jackpot is $69.7 million whereas in the previous run, the supported jackpot was $66.9 million. And the cash value is now 41.9 vs 39.9. The annuity value is 4.19% higher than in the previous run, but cash value, which is a direct measurement of sales is 4.77% higher. That may be an indication that as players buy in when the jackpot gets bigger the $5 price becomes something they're okay with at lower jackpot levels, too. Or it might just be because very high jackpots tend t

The Mega Millions jackpot has increased by $25 million to $650 million after 32 consecutive rolls and is the largest Mega Millions jackpot since December 2024. There is a 3.2% chance the jackpot will be won in the October 21 draw with projected sales of $48 million. Even though there is an expected up tick in sales, the annuity factor decreased, offsetting the sales increase. Despite all the criticism of the slow movement of the Mega Millions jackpot, a new 32 roll record was set with the $6

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
American money going to foreign citizens. The article points out that According to MUSL, more than half of every $2 Powerball ticket stays in the jurisdiction where it is sold . That the state's share of the ticket price and all of the non-jackpot prizes that are paid by the state to somebody who bought a ticket in that state (roughly another 16% of the ticket price) stays in the state should be a no-brainer. With all of the states that offer PB, varying populations, and the small number of

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I think when they sold us Faster growing jackpots they forgot to factor in what could actually happen i.e the jackpot being won sooner. Weird, isn't it? They talk a lot about the upside but not the downside. Revenue per draw is up a bit, but a fair chunk of the revenue goes to pay for the mandatory megaplier. That means the slightly greater revenue isn't enough to put more money towards the jackpot based on the ticket sales we've seen so far. Ticket sales are pretty close to half of wha

Help Me Understand This 😭Reply
I've looked for ticket sales data for Millionaire for Life and can't find it. I think it's safe to say that the ticket sales are far less than PB/MM.

Mega Millions 10 Million Increase rollover.Reply
What affects the top line. Annuity amount is interest rates, and sales. Sales of mega millions are down. An interest rates have dropped so the long-term pay payout it's less for every cash dollar invested

About those NC Digital Online Games...What's the verdict?
I asked the search engine about NC digital instant games and what money they take in vs what money they pay out. I asked the question b/c the games seem to just take your money and never give you anything substantial. Below is the response, but I am having trouble believing that they pay out 87% of proceeds. Nonetheless, I do believe the part that says that even though they are taking in more $$ with these games, that they are contributing less to the education system than they did before the di
