$205 MILLION: Promise of big jackpots met by new Mega MillionsNews Story
By Todd Northrop When the multi-state Mega Millions lottery game was changed a month ago, it was done so amid promises of bigger jackpots without needing to raise ticket prices. Now it appears the promise has been met. After no lottery tickets matched all 5 numbers plus the Mega Ball Friday night, the multi-state Mega Millions jackpot was increased to an estimated $205 million, with a lump-sum cash value of $110.6 million. Tuesday's Mega Millions jackpot is the accumulation of 15 consec

Lotto Max/Lotto 649 Rigged?
I've searched lots of forums to see what people think of Lotto Max and Lotto 649 being rigged. I have found something interesting. I began having suspicions when I noticed for mega jackpots there would be long periods of no winners, while at the same time sales spiked substantially. Mathematically, the number of plays exceeds the odds, so the probability of a winner greatly exceeds the stated odds. Example: if someone plays one board in Lotto MAX, they get 2 additional draws as a b

Powerball lottery jackpot increased to $180 millionReply
Too bad we don't have something like Euromillions where the advertised jackpot IS the actual amount. Advertising the annuitized jackpot is like consumer packaging that states in the small print: Enlarged to show detail or Serving Suggestion . In other words, what is shown is not exactly what you get. How many winners elect to take the annuitized amount? Very few to none it appears. When the recently won Euromillion jackpot was advertised at 185,000,000 euros, that's what it was.
