Oregon Lottery proposes rules regulating courier services and preventing bulk ticket purchasesReply
I'm one of them idiots shelling out the $5 for MM. I agree 100% with you. Thought it was promised bigger and faster jackpots. Well that is not true and Powerball still beats them hands down, IMHO in that regard!

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Yes, it's very telling the advertised jackpot increase is only $10 M after 8 rollovers. Do you understand how the game and its financing work? Both PB and MM have always started with artificially high jackpots that aren't fully funded, and never had more than the minimum increase until there's enough cash to fully fund the jackpot. The smaller jackpot of the old format was funded quickly. With the new format the jackpot would remain artificially high for more drawings with exactly the same

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
Dude what are you talking about? Apparently you don't know what a Fast Play ticket is. Fast Play tickets print out of the lottery terminal or a lottery vending machine. YOU instantly know if you have won or not by looking at the ticket or scanning it. There are NO waiting until the numbers are drawn. Arizona feels that there is a problem with some people trying to buy up all the Fast Play tickets in the Progressive games, which are jackpots that continually grow until someone wins. In my area of

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
Personally, I don't think anyone even buys bulk Fast Plays as it doesn't make sense mathematically. Fast Plays are like slot machines which are intended to give the house an 80%+ advantage. Jackpots on the other hand have fixed odds -- the more combinations you play the more you're likely to win. So gonna wait and see if the AZ Lottery gives any explanation for the reasoning behind the decision.

You spoke my mind, for MM to be won at the 300M mark, not sure about the bigger jackpots advertising - maybe it's too early. Onward we go.

Smaller jackpots being won, means more people are winning. I don't think the $112M and $348M winners said, It's not enough I don't want it.

Texas Lottery Commission abolished, oversight of Texas Lottery transferredReply
These laws should not apply to games like the Pick 3/4. They have nothing to do with the whole controversy of buying jackpots. Some of these Texas lawmakers own brick-and-mortar stores that sell lottery tickets, and now players can only buy tickets at these stores. This is BS.

LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #2Reply
I m assuming you are referring to one of games with the jackpots since they are much larger. So if I won the lottery my intentions would be to payoff all my debt. That s a definite for me. Then depending on the amount, I would make sure my immediate family gets a slice. As I get older my answer has changed because circumstances have changed and some of the people you wanted to share those moments with are no longer in your life. This would be an enormous life changing opportunity for me but the

New Mega Millions game reports 300% increase in non-jackpot prizes in first monthReply
There is no 1 million dollar prize anymore. What has happened is handle is down and the increased multipliers on prizes mostly in the 3+1 PB range and lower are sucking up the money that would have gone into the higher jackpot total. It is growing slower for those looking for those 700m + jackpots. What is going to happen is it will struggle to get to 500m and then someone will hit it frustrating all the players and have them wondering if they should continue playing the 5.00 a line game. Many h
