Calif SuperLotto vs. MegaMillon -- You Choose!Reply
Casual players that don't play Powerball (because of the $2 ticket price) might choose to play Mega Millions instead of SuperLotto Plus, just because of the bigger jackpots. They probably don't care about the odds--they just see $200 million jackpots vs $20 million jackpots, and go for the bigger jackpot. That said, SuperLotto Plus might become more popular after Mega Millions changes in October. I choose SuperLotto Plus over Mega Millions because even a $7 million jackpot is enough for me.

$403 MILLION: Red hot Powerball jackpot rolls againReply
WHAS 11 was right. It is the 10th-largest Powerball jackpot ever. There have only been 9 Powerball jackpots larger than this one. But when I write the news stories I normally compare the jackpot to the largest jackpots of ANY game in US history, not just Powerball jackpots -- that's the difference. Wednesday is the 12th-largest cash value of ANY game in US history, and the 14th-largest annuity jackpot of ANY game in US history.

US lottery operators worry as fewer millennials line up to playReply
Honestly the increasingly slim odds to win because of push for Mega jackpots or Higher jackpots across board have hurt and will continue to hurt lotteries going forward At state level the games are becoming less and less winnable with matrix/cost changes. Illinois lottery and Lucky Day Lotto because of increase in # of balls have far fewer winners (We can go months with no winners in Illinois regular lotto) Illinois Little lotto (Pick 5 game) changed to Lucky Day lotto a few years ba

Ohio Progressive Jackpots
Anyone have thoughts about the progressive jackpot games? I'm in Ohio and usually play Rolling Cash 5 but have not been hitting anything on it lately. EZ Play Quick Spot gets a decent payout sometimes. Looks like odds are 1 in 240,000 to hit the progressive jackpots. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Hey fam. I have interesting info to share. I requested instant liability info on these games. Here's the percent sold, and jackpots remaining. $2 Electric 8s - 94% - 2/14 jackpots remaining (Fairly interesting, because there should only be 1/14 left- perhaps a jackpot was lost?) $5 Wheel of Fortune - 82% 4/12 jackpots remaining (Extremely interesting, if these are all out there the odds are much better - there should only be 2/12 jackpots remaining, MAYBE 3/12 max. ) $1 L

Higher jackpots or better odds?
I think a third major multi state lotto game with 1:25,000,000 odds with jackpots that average payouts in the 10 million range would lure in more casual players plenty of people would still try for the insane amounts I'm sure.

Someone hit another $3m jackpot on the $20 Gold Rush game, meaning that the reordered rolls are definitely in circulation since the original order jackpots have all been claimed. So, there should be four jackpots remaining. They've been taking their time with updating jackpots on the prizes remaining page. $25 Fortune still lists 9 $1 million prizes, when in reality it is probably down to 4-5 tops. $25 Misfortune also still lists 38, but there's been numerous hits. Wouldn't surprise me

Unclaimed jackpots from games that ended?
I was looking at some games that ended months ago and I see that many jackpots remain unclaimed What do you think is the case with those? Did those tickets just never get bought? Or were they somehow not put into circulation in the first place? Or maybe someone did buy one of those and scratched it, but thought it was a loser and tossed it to the trash?

How soon till the next $ Billion $ Jackpot?Reply
We'll probably see less jackpots under $200 million because of the matrix change and probably more $400 plus jackpots. Statistically the last jackpot had enough in ticket sales to be won when it was $948 million so with similar sales and no matrix changes, it's more likely we'll see jackpots just under $1 billion. I doubt we'll see a cash value over $1 billion and waiting 29 years to collect isn't my idea of a $1 billion jackpot.

Matrix change will not make Powerball jackpots larger.Reply
Since PB is rigged does it really matter the odds? Somebody in FL or CA is going to win it anyway. When the matrix was 5/45, there were no billion dollar jackpots, and sales slumped. When the matrix was changed 5/49, there were no billion dollar jackpots, and sales slumped. When the matrix was changed 5/53, there were no billion dollar jackpots, and sales slumped. When the matrix was changed 5/55, there were no billion dollar jackpots, and sales slumped. When the matrix was change
