MegaMillions is ready to be won againReply
I should also mention the official cash I am quoting is typically a rounded-down value for simplicity, just because there are different vendor systems reporting and they don't always submit initial sales properly. Also, since MM is technically operated by the MM group and not MUSL, they have to go on their own estimates. For example, MUSL quotes the cash for the 11/04 winner at $194.4 million (advertised $194.1 million) but the real value was $197,456,087 according to NY Lottery. Now for Powe

Charity & taxesReply
I used to think you could give any amount to a recognized charity (and take the deduction), but the IRS says differently: Charitable Contribution Deductions I expect most everyone has read about the poor record many so-called reputable charities have, namely that a large percentage of the donations they get go to executive salaries, office rent, misc. overhead, etc. America's Top 50 charities: How well do they rate?

States pull the plug on Monopoly Millionaires' ClubReply
Everyone anticipated that the game would run in the red from the start, because not all the lotteries were participating. The expectation was that sales would be able to support minimal drawdowns until January, and then the additional contributions would boost the game to success. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, they overestimated sales altogether. I actually know who modeled the game (I won't divulge him for privacy), but I am sure he and especially the marketing research team has been getting

OHIO Lottery Machine was Hack using Fhhl Hacking it.Reply
Good points Todd, but how would you implant the program? New Mexico seems to go further with their security saying.... There is no network or internet access. The system is locked into the console and stored inside a secure room with restricted access. Log-on validation is required prior to the start of the game. Once the system is powered up every keystroke is record to a secure log that cannot be altered. I'm not even sure you could run a nuclear power plant without some type networ

Audit: Stores buying Michigan lottery tickets from playersReply
I just re-read my response to the highlighted portion and realized it probably wasn't clear: They likely determine it by as I said, a record comparison. If Bob reported income of $100,000 but the lottery says he won $200,000, he obviously didn't report $100,000 in winnings. At the very least he should have reported $200,000 in income, showed an offset of $100,000 for AGI of $100,000 (minus std. deductions of course but you get the idea). The methodology isn't in the report, just the findings.

Theyre both up there...Wouldnt it be cool if someone hit both??Reply
499 million for both PB and MM. A few years ago, back when I first found USA Mega and LP, I went through the state's lotteries and added them all up - I don't remember what the total was, but it was a staggering figure. Just the other day I was looking up an actor on a new favorite TV show to see what else he had been in and as I was typing his name in, net worth came up. I went to the website and saw what his supposed net worth was and then looked around a little bit at other Hollywood ce

My 44 number field for 10/29 draw: 1 3 6 8 9 12 13 14 16 17 18 20 23 27 29 30 33 34 35 36 39 40 45 46 47 49 50 51 52 54 57 58 59 60 61 62 65 69 70 71 73 74 76 80 I know I sound like a broken record but I am still keeping an eye on HIGH numbers. The LOW group has still dominated the last few draws. HIGH should come to make a balance soon. I'm NOT saying that only HIGH numbers will show. I am saying to consider playing more high numbers in your choices. I may just inc

Stack47 says, You knew he was deaf hoping he would complain so you could make more sadistic remarks? WRONG! I KNEW the narrator was Indian, did NOT know garyo1954 was deaf, and posted my audio quip based on garyo1954's earlier complaints about ENGLISH at the site. S47 either can't read, or is breaking his record for how low he is willing to stoop to discredit someone who thwarts his and others' efforts to keep people unsure about the predictability of lotto draws. -Jimmy4

Should we boycott Mega Millions?Reply
Yeah, don't make it harder (change the odds again). I would have thought by now we would have seen a record busting MM JP with these crazy odds. I think one the biggest failures with MM is the continued glacial speed of JP growth when the game resets to 15M. 15M is still too low for a game touted as MEGA MILLIONS with odds like this- period. It takes nearly a month for the JP to even catch up with PB's starting point. PB's 40M starting point continues to beat the pants off of MM
