$800 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot approaches billion-dollar rangeReply
If that was the case I'm sure we'd have seen another big bump in the advertised jackpot. 64% coverage would mean that they've already sold about 300 million tickets, which should put the jackpot at $850 million as of now. That would be an increase of about 329 with just two days of sales, and most of Saturday still to go. I don't know for sure, but I'm under the impression that sales tend to be heavier as it gets closer to the drawing. Even if that's not true, it's got to be a fairly safe bet

Looking up multiple items in Excel to increase chances of winning CT Cash 5
Hello. Is there anyway I can find multiple items in my Excel sheet? I'm working with two sheets, one that has 365 winning lottery combos, while the other has all possible combos. I'd like to find all the winning combos in the list of all possible combos and cross them out so I can have a better visual of what combos not to pick. I've been using the find button for each one individually, but it's taking a lot of time. Is there anyway I can speed this up? Thank you!!

Pennsylvania lottery winners to be taxed for the first timeReply
They increase lottery tickets prices and people still play. They increase the balls to choose from and people still play. They raise taxes on lottery winnings and people still play. It seems that lottery players are a resource that must be exploited.

Pennsylvania lottery winners to be taxed for the first timeNews Story
New Penn. Gov. Tom Wolf proposes historic tax increases By Todd Northrop Tucked into the depths of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf's first budget plan is a proposal to tax lottery winnings over $600. The newly-elected Democrat Governor's spokesman says that California and Pennsylvania are the only states with income taxes that exempt lottery proceeds. Some states have no income taxes, and those states also do not tax lottery winners. We have a massive budget deficit that we need to c

Powerball is kicking it up-10 millionaires were made tonight!!.Reply
MUSL is projecting the next draw to be about $322 million At that point they might be optimistic that the final tally will be a bit higher, but it means they're currently planning on an increase of $33 million, which is only a modest increase from the current $28 million and the previous (optimistic) $31 million. If it rolls after 322 maybe we'll start to see fairly big jumps. We might see a half billion or so for Valentine's Day if it gets that far.

MegaMillions is ready to be won againReply
Not sure where you got the $134.9 million cash value figure because according to USA Mega it states the cash value at $131.1 million. https://www.usamega.com/mega-millions-jackpot.asp?d=1/6/2015 Using the numbers I got from USA Mega, the cash value increased $13.7 million while the annuity value went up $15 million. Don't get me wrong as I am happy to see an increase in the cash value but I am a little confused at why it jumped over 91% of the annuity increase.

Monopoly Millionaires gameReply
the remaining Top Prize pool money will be reallocated proportionately among prize levels 2-10. Will be interesting to see how much those prizes increase, if they even do. Like I said, there is no money, which makes me wonder if they're just posting this to appease players. PA has only contributed around $1.5 million to the Top Prize since the beginning of the game. They're in the hole like everyone else. As far as I know, there are no other states even mentioning this. It's preposterous
