Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
That is an interesting observation. PB shows a lower than usual increase for a billion dollar jackpot, but, All Of A Sudden, MM magically has a $25 M change instead of its regularly scheduled minimum. Anyone with more than one brain cell can entertain or guess the funny-money schemes going on. Let the splain-it-a-way folks chew on that one. We're sure to get a good response. 3... 2... 1...

Let's see if PB can squeeze out another billion dollar jackpot before the holidays. As long as nobody wins, which is very likely, it will definitely reach a billion before the holidays unless you're counting minor and obscure holidays such as Christmas card day or National llama day, which are both next Tuesday (really). If the current estimates are right and tonight and Monday are at 820 and 975 the probability of rollovers are .892 and .919, so the chance of a big jackpot next Wednesd

One Georgia ticket wins $983 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
That is just what I am doing. MM was won before it got to my target amount to begin purchasing. But, due to the price increase I would have bought 1 to 5 tickets only to have a chance in the draw. In the past at the 1 to 2 billion mark I have went for 50 tickets for $100 for a better chance, although not *much* better than 1 to 5 tickets, I know. I currently save the cost of 1 ticket per each bracket of 100 million cash value for both MM and PB games. When PB hits my target amount (not set

I suspected that although people are upset about the price increase for Mega Millions tickets, if the jackpot reaches $1 Billion, almost every lottery player will buy at least one MM ticket. One thing that's absolutely certain is that every one of the people who said they'll never play at $5 per ticket is a lottery player, and lottery players play lotteries. Sales are starting to grow and it's probably not because of the people who aren't really lottery players but buy the rare ticket when

Mega Millions and PowerballReply
I dont think they care about a bunch of pissed off boomers putting their money elsewhere. There is no elsewhere for players to put their money, and I think they think the whiners are idiots who don't understand what's happening. PB and MM are managed separately, but they both funnel money from lottery players to state treasuries and aren't competing against each other. It's like thinking the people selling Coke are upset about people not buying Coke because they prefer to spend their money

$1.8 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now second-largest ever as ticket sales surge across the USAReply
Betcha all you MM downers and naysayers will put down $5 - for a ticket next week We're not going to know who's playing, but players spent $49.89 million to buy about 9.998 million tickets for Friday's drawing. The forecast for Tuesday's drawing is $51.94 million and almost 10.4 million tickets. The last time MM offered a jackpot this big an advertised jackpot of $361 million resulted in players spending $33.75 million for almost 16.9 million tickets at $2 each. The run before that got sale

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
there would be unnecessary criticism from some quarters of the population that it isn't right to stoke up the public into a frenzy over 100 or 200 mil. They're already trying to stoke the frenzy by inflating the actual jackpot by 120% wit the annuity. Advertising 1.4 instead of 1.3 billion will sell more tickets, and criticism about lower revenues is the only criticism they really care about. That said, I'm sure they don't want to step in it like MM did back in 2018 when they advertis

I think they're underestimating the sales tonight and they're going to be closer to matching saturdays sales of 230 It looks like you nailed it after all, and for the first time in a long time sales for a Monday weren't significantly smaller than for the previous Saturday. The final jackpot is reported as $1.201 billion, which is very close to $230 million in sales. Not that it wasn't already obvious that 1.3 billion was conservative for Wednesday, but since we're now starting about $10
