Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
You forgot to add the $2 Lucky for Life to the list, which very soon will be the $5 Millionaire for Life. I saw that the cash option would be $18M and the odds around 22M for the jackpot. I got my MM ticket for last draw of the year with a X2 on it. I also got a $2 PB ticket for tomorrow. It would be great to cross over to 2026 as a millionaire I believe many players play the first ticket of the year for whatever games they play and hope for a new year miracle. Good luck to

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Since the race began when Mega Millions ticket prices were raised to $5, the Powerball jackpot reached about $1.8 billion twice. Whereas, Mega Millions reached just shy of $1 billion only once. What exactly is the race ? If we're talking about bang for the buck(s) PB's cheaper price usually makes it the better bet, but at any given moment the jackpot divided by the ticket cost is as close as there is to a sensible metric for deciding which game to play. Right now MM's chance at $138 million

Coughing up gold in TN
Recurring dreams over the past two weeks of coughing and vomiting up floods of gold. Coins, bars, bullion, nuggets, wire, chains, even the gold contacts on individual computer parts, you name it if it's shaped out of gold I've dreamed about hacking and spitting it up. It doesn't hurt but it does seem like it's not going to stop and the level of it is going to rise over my head sooner rather than later. There's a sense of urgency. Sometimes my dead grandmother's there and also coughing up gold; s

$1.5 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot fuels rush for ticketsReply
The way life is going as of now I will have 6 less tickets for Saturday's drawing than I had for Wednesdays draw. I still probably should have bought 7 less tickets than I did but anyhow. Funny I had $26 to spend and I actually considered foregoing the power play in order to purchase lucky 13 tickets for the next drawing but instead got the pp option and now I have $2 to my name. Come to the think of it I could have spent those 2 dollars on a power play less powerball. Oh well! H

Florida's Fantasy 5Reply
Chris, First, good luck to you. Sticking for years with a set of personal or lucky numbers has paid off handsomely for some players, although I've read that players that have won a jackpot playing that way have said It took forever for those numbers to come home! You're 20+ years in so hopefully it won't be long and they'll pop. Personally I've been playing the lottery for over 20 years myself. I've never played a specific set of numbers regularly, but to each his own. I'm a transplant

Florida and Claiming a Jackpot AnonymouslyReply
I learned some things over the weekend about claiming anonymously in Florida. At an HOA sponsored Christmas party I had a conversation with a lottery playing friend who is one helluva lot more knowledgeable than I am about Florida law. I wasn't surprised... he's a retired lawyer from The Northeast, although I don't know what his area of expertise is/was. He sits on The Board of Directors of my community's HOA. He's a real nice guy, and in the past we've shared some laughs about winning the lotte

Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply
The states are constantly leaning on those who run the lotteries to generate more revenue. I'm sure that's what led to them bumping up the cost and odds on the MM. States love it when jackpots are high and millions are pouring in each drawing because people who don't normally play are chasing the billion dollar payouts. I imagine a meeting after the last big jackpot got hit when the weekly revenues dropped back to normal levels. The question is asked how do we change things to get those big

PowerballReply
I know me, and I'd feel exactly as you would even though I play for entertainment. There are Hardrock casinos located near me, but I've never been. The only other form of gambling I do besides playing the lottery is in The Stock Market, which I've done for the last 45 years. Over that 45 year time period I've made more money than I ever invested, but there were a few times (like in 2000 and 2008) when I didn't do so well. For me personally, in addition to the above, there's this - I have a

Mercury & Saturn Unretrograding.
Happy B Friday LP Family: It's happening - Mercury and Saturn stationing direct in progress. It's a good if albeit sobering thing. You may recall I posted recently about not giving Merc Rx too much cred. Astrologically, I am heavily impacted by all air tribe things and Merc is top of that list. I refuse to obsess about it. However, while most of the month the Rx was fairly quiet, the Rx grinch waited until the last 7 days or so to hammer me. Little to big things, but got my attention: I posted m
