Lottery sales at retailers 'almost pandemonium'Reply
If the 24 Hour news cycle is not covering these jackpots today than they will on Friday. A one billion dollar jackpot will grab everyone's attention. What with Power ball coming up fast and behind MM we can enjoy the show.

$868 MILLION: Mega lottery jackpot set for FridayReply
Well, the jackpot growth hasn't been impressive. When you take out the inflationary starting jackpot and put all other jackpots on a level playing field, this growth is average at best. The previous highest jackpot grew much faster and with less cost to the lottery player; $1.00. We leveled the jackpots on all other rollovers to a baseline starting pot at $1,000,000.00. Next we graphed the previous 104 jackpot rollovers and adjusted for jackpot magnitude with a logarithmic scale to s

$667 MILLION: Biggest Mega Millions jackpot everReply
Thanks for the update. I am on my way out to buy the winning ticket This not really the biggest jackpot ever because the annuity jackpots are inflated by interest rates. I go by the present cash amount. $471 million cash, Mar. 30, 2012 ($656 million annuity) is still the highest. In other words take home is what matters.

$654 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot skyrocketsReply
In my little town (pop 2500, give or take) there are three men who have won million dollar plus jackpots (actually, one was $1000/week for life, but that was more than 20 years ago, so it's officially a million plus by now) and I see one of these guys in the store where I always get my gas, coffee, and tickets. He's always got a fistful of scratch-offs to turn in for redemption, and he shoots the breeze with the clerk and anyone who stops in. When a customer comes in, he'll step aside and let th

Easiest way to win Mega Millions JackpotReply
I know 3 people who've won million dollar plus jackpots (all in my little town, population 2500), and the strategy that they used was to buy a lot of tickets and often. There is nothing metaphysical about it. But no matter how much money you throw at it, it still comes down to pure luck (you'd have to buy 100 tickets per drawing for about 28,000 years before you caught up to the odds on the Mega or Powerball.) My yankee sensibility prevents me from throwing a lot of money at a long shot, but I t

Wells Fargo lottery winners poker-faced as they return to workReply
My post has nothing to do with how many people won or not. My post is about the CA hanging back from publishing their names, not that l want that, but that for ONCE they backing off.l love privacy think everyone is entitled to it, whether they win a jackpot or not. There is not a single post out there from me ASKING to know who won, ever since l joined LP. I find CA lottery commission exhibiting strange behavior,considering that their own handbook stresses in strong terms even if you form a trus

Bermuda officials staying quiet on sale of Florida lottery ticketsReply
Before PB and the then Big Game expanded to almost every state, when the jackpots were high, players from non PB and BG states traveled to and bought tickets in states that sold tickets. And sometimes, players pooled their money and one person bought the tickets. Don't know the legality of those that sold those tickets at higher than face value. Is there really a difference when Bermuda players travel to Florida to buy tickets than U.S. players traveling to other states even if they them at h

Winning ticket for $522 million Mega Millions jackpot sold in CaliforniaReply
Like yourself, l think it is a misprint. Californian lottery players can be pretty tight with their wallets, when it comes to starting jackpots of $40 million. It's kinda like them saying You cannot help me flourish, as you do not bring out the best in me.
