$270 Million: Mega Millions lottery jackpot raised againReply
No, It's just that powerball hasn't been a very lucky game for me. Lately, I have been forced to buy tickets in KY and it has proven very useless for me. I play it all the time and would love to win that jackpot just as much as the other. I don't know what is the matter, but I haven't so much as got the powerball right in something close to a year. Well, Last summer I got some money. But nothing to crack open a bottle of champagne. (I would do that even for a few thousand dollars in winnings. Bu

$270 Million: Mega Millions lottery jackpot raised againReply
Wow! $270,000,000!! That's my lucky number!! How sweet is it that the Mega Millions just happens to be giving away MY LUCKY NUMBER?!! Ya'll might as well tear your numbers up now. I got it in the bag..... Btw, the net of taxes figure on the Analysis page is only 25% FIT. How many of you really believe that the IRS is only going to take 25%? My guess is 35%, so plan on forking over a few more mill to the Feds. One question for my Mega Millions tax planning....is lottery winnings

When you win a small prizeReply
I stick to my informal budget that ensures that I have a play in every draw for Mega Millions and Powerball and an advance play for state lotteries over $10 million (like Indiana and Michigan are now; when I get the chance to visit Florida, California, and Texas I will usually purchase the max advance play just because those state lottery jackpots increase at a much faster pace than do Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan...like $3 - 7 million rollover increases versus 100 thousand to 1 million rollo

what game does your state NOT have that you wish they did?Reply
Some states have offered options to existing games; like playing the sum and/or front pair, back pair, and middle pair on the Texas Pick-4 and Pick-3. And Powerball offers players the chance to multiply their winnings. These add-ons don't compete with the primary game so the only affect is raising the player base. The standard formula for online games in most states is offering pick-3, pick-4, pick-5, a lotto game, and entering multi-state games like Powerball and Mega Millions. I think Ohi

Winning $151M Powerball lottery ticket sold in Rhode IslandReply
congrats to the winners.......... I just found out that Powerball might be making a matrix change pretty soon if its approved by all the participating states. The odds are about to get higher than they are now. Well thats what I read on the South Carolina lottery website in the minutes from the Oct. 4, 2007 meeting. According to the minutes the 2nd prize amount would change also. They want to compete more with the Mega Millions game and produce higher jackpots. A matrix change will also guara

$10 on each drawing or $100 on the next 10 drawingsReply
jarrettac Since you specified California I'm going to guess you're talking Mega Millions. If that's the case, I'd say before each drawing, otherwise with advance play you're stuck with the same Mega number for all the draws. They just don't hit 10 times in a row. Two maybe, even three, but I can't recall any more than that. We live in a Mega Millions state surrounded by Powerball states. If we go to Missouri and play Powerball then it's advance play. Granted, same scenario, stuck with a

$325 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery nears record highReply
Hopefully you saw the last sentence in the reply to you: Mega Millions doesn't have this. The answer may have been confusing because you asked, Does MM have a cap? and the first word was Yes in the reply. Mega Millions does NOT have a cap on jackpot increases. Only Powerball has such a cap.

does age play a factor when winning the jackpot?Reply
On one of the lottery shows they had the youngest Powerball Winner..... he was going to Uni bought a modest house and was forming a production company to make films which was is major at Uni. Kid has a good plan and is sticking to it. good for him. Youngest Mega Millions was an 18 year old girl she won around the same time as David Edwards won Powerball and nope we haven't heard from her since so I think that means she is doing fine. But I think she was splitting it with her family. What wa

How to Beat Powerball: And drastically reduce the odds (theory)...Reply
It took me almost a half hour to get 5 Mega Millions QPs one night. First he ran 5 Classic Lotto QPs then had to cancel them when I told him I wanted Mega Millions. Then he hands me 5 Rolling Cash 5 QPs and had to cancel those too. When he finally got it right, he asked for $6 because he checked yes to the Kicker after I told him no . I gave him the 6 bucks because by that time there were 22 people in the check-out line.
