my first prediction - for wa. state lottoReply
thats true but the whole reason for it was the low jackpots. at least this current jackpot will end quickly after the 5th when it becomes a 6/49 game again. at least then i can start loosing money on the megmillions assuming i dont have to drive to oregon for the powerball. but we dont have a state income tax here and oregons is at 9% with NO deductions so the prize has to be at least 260mil before i drift down there. this might be the time that megamillions finally has a big jackpot though. kin

Will The Ways to Play Ever Change?
I was wondering why in the U.S. you can only select 6 or 7 numbers in the high jackpot games per ticket. When I was stationed in Germany, I could play their Pic 6 lotto by picking 7 numbers (about 3.00), 8 numbers, about $4.50, 9 numbers, (about 10.00), 12 numbers was like 18.00, or 26 numbers which was like 20 something. I got to put all of my selections in one box. I wonder why in the U.S. they don't give players these options. They would make more money..of course maybe the jackpots would

Dropping cash values?Reply
It has been discussed before somewhere in this forum, that the value of a Jackpot is the amount that the cash would earn if invested in a 28 or 30yrs annunity. If the interest was more the jackpot would be more. If the interest was 0%, the jackpot and cash amount would be the same, so the closer the interest rates get to 0, the closer the cash amounts and jackpots are.

Have you bought a lottery ticket online?Reply
Doubting Thomas . It's the same thing as saying if I order a product over the Internet, what's the assurance that I'll actually get it? Thomas, in case you didn't know, there have been big winners over the Internet that are quite happy now.That's the beauty of shopping online for a US state lottery (as opposed to some online casino in a carribean nation). If you won, don't you think the state would honor your claims? Haven't we seen enough court cases involving jackpots to know that fai

Yeah, that makes sense. When it comes to keeping corrupt practices that ignore the will ofcustomers, the public, and the more advancedpractices of other states, MA can't have manyrivals. The thing is, I am sure sales and interestin these 2 games is way down. Jackpots buildpainfully slow and no one cares what they are.They need to do something, and adding a cashoption would be so easy. I've had a Megabucks season ticket for 10 years, and last won something besides a free ticket inMarch 1998 when
