Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
At least Measly Millions made some progress with an increase of $25M this time. OLD: Looking at the $2 MM run from 6/07/24 - 9/10/24 with only a starting jackpot of $20 Million , the jackpot after 18 draws was already at $405 Million . It took 27 draws to reach the $800M winning jackpot. Looking at the last $2 MM Billion dollar jackpot run from 9/13 - 12/27/24 starting jackpot of $20 Million, the jackpot after 18 draws was at $387 Million . At 27 draws it was $760M. It took 30 draws to

mathematics of re-playing small winsReply
I did my analysis on scratch-off tickets because most of the prize money goes towards lower prizes. With jackpot accumulation draw games such as Powerball, not much goes to lower prizes. To summarize my first post, for the $5 Colorado scratch-off $100,000 Super Bonus, the average number of tickets played is 2.5x or 3x your original bankroll, depending on whether your stop point is $500 or $1,000. Not surprisingly, the improved odds of winning a large prize exactly correlate with the average

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I don't think it has ever been unusual for the first draw or two to be underfunded, but they need to offer some minimum amount or even the addicts might stop playing. MM is gambling that $50 million is the minimum advertised jackpot that will get enough people playing, while posing a minimum risk of paying a jackpot before it's fully funded. The most recent example I see is when MM was hit on the first drawing a couple of years ago. Total sales of $19,255,000 only funded $13,759,894 of the start

NY Dream Team 2024Reply
I don't follow the news everyday because how depressing it is other than checking in on local news. I went on the national news and see America attacked Iran so now gas prices will increase and we may go to war...and who knows even a threat of terrorism. In France well over 100 people got stabbed with syringes by 12 psychos. Then in Syria a suicide bomber blew up a Church killing over 20 and hurting many more. This is all I learned just from briefly looking at the global news for

Australian man deletes email from lottery about $50 million Powerball jackpot winReply
P.U.: What Stinx!?! Speaking of powerball .... I've still gotta see an $150 mil increase from the current 'pot until I jump in to play. And also, on the topic of powerball ...

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
While there are games that cost more than $5..... $10 scratchers, $20 scratchers, $50 scratchers, $20 raffle tickets, etc., the difference is that in those games, you have a vastly higher chance of winning a large amount of money. The problem with the new $5 MM is that they didn't change much of anything. It includes the multiplier for lower prizes (instead of giving you a choice to pay the extra $1). They included a 10X possibility but re-arranged the other multiplier odds to give you preci

Ohio: 2/1 - 2/28/2026Reply
Happy Birthday, Bobby! Here is a little information gift for you on your Sun Star. On this day, the Sun measures from 327 to 328 degrees of celestial longitude as he transits the ecliptic. Without an exact time of birth I can't be certain which belongs to you, but if one of those two measurements means anything to you, such as a date in time, an address, or the birth date for someone close to you, then the chances are high that one is the correct one. Anyhoo, I use my Sun's measurem

Lucky For Life to Millionaire For Life - $5 TicketReply
For me ... I play lucky 4 life maybe twice a week (like it was mon Thur originally) when pb and or mm are below the 250 million threshold for me to jump into those games . Now with the merged millionaire 4 life and the three dollar increase in price .... I'll still play but only once per week. I look forward to the new game but I'm not going gaga over it. What will the matrix look like? Will it still be a twenty year annuity? Will there be a cash option? All questions to
