mega millions input::: please add !!Reply
CASH Only,Have you heard anything on exactly what the changes will be? Will Power Surge be involved or even the new name? MUSL had a survey posted in their website about a month ago asking if we would play a $2 version of Powerball with jackpots starting at $20 Million. Do you think they change the cost to $2 and raise the odds to maybe 100 Million to 1?

Power ball numbersReply
Actually, I think what might happen is that Powerball will start to get hit too often and jackpots won't get too high. But that's just my opinion.-Todd

powerball
how do you think the addition of pa will affect powerball jackpots? i also think the super 6 is going to die. pa cash 5 is up to a quick cool $700K again. great game.

5 days until Powerball comes to PennsylvaniaReply
i dont want no stupid game with odds of 135 million. no sir. 80 million to 1 is high enough. high jackpots like 300 mil is a lot but i would love to hit 5 mil. if someone cant live off 5 mil for the rest of their life they are foolish!

It will be interesting to see if Powerball jackpots ever reach the levels that they have in the past -- with all the new players. I'll bet they're keeping close tabs on how Mega Millions does with its new odds / prize structure and Powerball may go through similar changes in a year or so.-Todd

LottoTexas vs MegamillionsReply
The reason states sell so much better at lower levels is the better odds of winning. Jackpot for TX Lotto is 1 in 25,827,165, vs. 1 in 135,145,920 for Mega Millions. That's also why state lottery jackpots never reach the size of the multi-states. (Someone is much more likely to win.)State lotteries start really taking off when the jackpot is $40 or $50 million, whereas multi-states take off when it gets to $80 to $100 million.-Todd

Winners or pretty darn close to it
I'm wondering if anyone here has ever come close to or actually ever hit any of the big jackpots(the 5 and 6 number draws). I know one guy here said he hit a couple years ago and is collecting an annuity on it and also RJOh got 5 out of 6 recently in the Ohio Super lotto game.

Friday jackpot 21 million IF NO WINNERReply
Finally, a lottery that climbs like the California's SuperLottoPlus. Hopefully we will get a chance soon to compare jackpot increases between California's SuperLottoPlus, Powerball, and Megamillions. I still don't get why Powerball has such a slow rate of increase. And hopefully, Powerball and the several local state semi-large jackpots will all have winners tomorrow so we can see real sales growth in the Megamillions.

The cash value of a $20M annunity for 30yrs is worth less than the cash value of a $20M annunity for 25yrs because it costs less. Some states uses the 30yrs annunity package because it allow them to advertise a bigger jackpots with less cash. You may be comparing apples with oranges which are not the same.FYI

Ohio 6/49 Lotto increases by just 2 million (11m-13m)Reply
Since Ohio WILL be able to rely on Mega Millions to create huge jackpots, it makes ZERO sense for the in-state game to continue to be as jackpot-driven as when you had your $75 million pot. Paying for a three-number match just makes good sense.
