Mega Millions multi-state lottery to get harder to win in Oct.Reply
Increasing the price decreases the chances of someone winning because fewer tickets are sold... I personally think it would be a disaster if the jackpots gets to a $1 billion, and still no one can win it.

Lottery Code has already been brokenReply
If that system that could predict the winning combination 100% of the time worked similarly, it would be worthless. Most lottery jackpots along with their lower tier prizes don't pay what it cost to play every possible combination. My system don't win very often but I only play 10-20 lines. The 5of6 win was worth $1500 and I've only spent about $1000 on lottery tickets so far this year.

What to do with megamillions?Reply
They should keep the odds and the price but offer a raffle for small prize like $10,000. The winner would be randomly chosen. Raffles would increase sales. Increased sales would increase the jackpots.

I'm not a regular lottery player. I'll buy a few tickets for high jackpots such as the recent MM and PB drawings. It's not the occasional players that they will be depending on to make this work, it's the regular players who regularly put a few dollars on the games regardless the jackpot amount. Your occasional dollars or two when the jackpot get large will always be there if the jackpot is large enough.

Mega Millions multi-state lottery to get harder to win in Oct.Reply
I'm really surprised at everyone's reaction. I mean 1 in 175 million... If it was 1 in 10 being changed to 1 in 100,000 then I might be upset, but when it's already 1 in 175 million, what's a few more million? lol... It's not like you got a realistic chance because its 175 million and not 250 million. Basically they're both 1 in almost impossible . But now we have more opportunity to dream. more opportunity for bigger jackpots. In canada, the 6/49 is $2 per play, with a

This is a terrible, terrible idea and is likely to backfire. How are you going to get to bigger jackpots when players now know that their chances of winning the jackpot (which was already much too improbable) has now unbelievably gotten even more improbable. You are going from an outrageous 1 in 175.7 mil to an even more outrageous 1 in 258.9 mil. Where I used to play twice per week, I am now likely to play once per week. Where I used to buy two tickets, I am now likely to buy just one ticket. W
