Powerball Changing?Reply
I'd sort of like to see a long run of first-draw jackpot winners... each $15M ($7.5M lump), all with one thing in common..... all members of LP. Keep the size of that jackpot down until they have to change the matrix again, but have it not help..... those LP members just keep hammering it, draw after draw until someone over there cries UNCLE.... at which time, the LP members advise them they'll take a break, but only on condition that they start putting the actual size of the lump sum jackpot o

Powerball Changing?
What is going on with Powerball?Several months ago I took a survey in which the MUSL? was getting opinions for a proposed new game with 2 bonus balls and jackpots that would compete with the new Mega Millions.Today I tried to play ahead 2 drawings on Powerball and was told that I could only play for tonight's drawing so I erased the multi-draw . The last time that happened was in 2002 when Powerball added more numbers, and recently on Mega Millions when IT changed.Powerball's site makes no ment

This Game Might Just Be PerfectReply
O.K. MA Megabucks Player Hater If you like paying double what others are willing to pay, here's a game for you.Pick 5 out of 25Cost : $2 Match 5 - $25,000 Match 4 - $50 Match 3 - $5 Match 2 - $2Overall odds : 1 in 3.9You need to have really low overall odds for a game this expensive.As for the original topic, people in Canada have no problem picking 7 numbers in their Lotto Super 7. And Super 7 in PA did pretty well, it only got axed because Keystone Jackpot would provide bigger jackpots

Pick 3 Pick 4Increase the payout to at least 55% to make the pari-mutuel payout a little less biting.Jersey Cash 5Free ticket for matching 2/5.Pick-6 LottoA cult classic, and rather large cult at that. While most states can only manage a $100,000 rollover with even the biggest jackpots, Pick-6 still manages a $250,000 minimum roll, which can go up to $1mil per roll. Pick-6 is here to stay, and to further solidify that, I propose these changes.Change the payout structure to this layout, which t

Texas Lottery May Eliminate Lotto Bonus NumberReply
The problem with the TLC is when the TX lottery was started there was a lot of excitement with everyone believing they had the winning numbers. As the lottery aged and the ether wore off, some people started to wake up they realized that winning wasn't so easy. The TLC was bragging about having the most profitable game in the U S, but they forgot that when a game matures the masses reduce the amount of money that they will wager on a game. So they decided to change the game, when they did a l

next mm hitReply
With the odds as they are now we have a chance to get more $200 m jackpots. I like when they get high just because of all the attention that is paid to them. I mean look at what happened when Jack Whitiker (sp) won that jackpot. He was on every morning show and everything. And when they get high a lot of people start winning the 2nd and 3rd tier prizes which aren't to shabby now. Let's look forward to a record run.FYI: Even though California joined NY still has the highest sales.Brad

Texas Lottery May Eliminate Lotto Bonus NumberReply
I agree with Cash Only, they sold lots of tickets when it was a Pick 6 game in TX. If they go back to 6/49 the odds of winning are only 1 in 13,000,000. Won't see that many jackpots runs anymore.Frankly I don't like the Pick 6 game type. Its to boring. I think the bonus ball is a good idea but limit the number of balls. 6/44 and 1/44 is just to much. If they reduced the bonus balls to 25 or 20 then you have a good game.Has anyone have any ideas of new games that haven't been played in the

well the sales are down and the jackpots are down too. the largest jackpot washington state had is when it had the gold ball. personally i wish for the bigger pots but financially that won't happen in washington now. there really is no thrill in playing the washington lotto or the washington quinto. the pots climb so slowly it is ridiculous. it barely gets up to 5 million now. oregon's megabucks gets into the 10's a lot more than washington state. i actually spend more in oregon than i do in my
