$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
One thing I truly miss is bump up to the jackpot like in the good old days. Gone for good I'd say. Considering that they've done it 4 times in the last 4 months it hardly seems like it no longer happens. Changing to 3 drawings per week has a minor effect, but the real issue is that lottery sales per drawing are generally slower than they used to be. Even so, the current PB run is a rare exception (as of now) for not bumping some of the jackpots for runs that made it past the billion dollar

Florida's Fantasy 5Reply
I think you're correct and I too think it backfired on them big time. To me the obvious question becomes (provided they want to make as money off the game as they used to) So why not return to one evening draw per day??? These days, if there is one winner in each drawing on any given day, both jackpots total to approximately $155,000 to $160,000. Prior to adding the midday draw, the lone evening drawing produced a $200,000 jackpot. (If just one winner) That can only mean one thing, and that

Powerball jackpot hits $1 billion after building for monthsReply
Is $50 to much to spend or u go by ur heart? It's not too much if you save the money from all the drawings offering less than $1 billion and spend it on the first drawing for $1 billion or more. What happens if it rolls, though? PB only reached $1 billion once this year up until now. The first time there were 4 drawings for $1 billion or more. So far this run has been slower to get the big increases, and based on the most recent worksheet there's a 56% chance it will roll 3 more times*, so

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
[Again] After millions of people threw away $5 on the new game format, I wonder how many of them will come back for more punishment Including the sales forecast for Tuesday's drawing MM is reporting revenue of a hair over $72 million for the first 3 drawings of the current run. That's 12.5% more than the $64 million in revenue for the first 3 drawings of the last run. That said, it may not be indicative of what we'll see after another few drawings because whenever the jackpot gets to about

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
The initial knee-jerk reactions are predictable. When people are actually in the store buying tickets and comparing this to other games they will realize that this is a decent game. There are some states where that may not be true but from Michigan I can tell you it looks good compared to everything else we have. I don't like waiting years and years for the 6/xx jackpot to get big and the Fantasy 5 here has never been over a Million since it started 20 or 21 years ago. Also in the years

Texas Lottery Commission votes to ban lottery couriersReply
Worse, the jackpot creeps up by $10 million a draw. We'll get to $1 billion by 2026 at this rate. MM may have to go back to the $2 dollar rate if it takes that long to reach a billion. Don't hold your breath. The lottery only cares how much revenue they can generate, and the higher price has basically offset the lower sales. Even if the usual revenue is down a bit they won't care, because they're looking for the revenue that results from the big jackpots. It sounds like we've got some

will you play the new $5 mega millions?Reply
Here is a breakdown of the changes, which may cause some of you to reconsider (especially if you haven't read the Lottery Post article): Mega Ball 24 - 25 will be removed, making either 24 or 23 total. KRCA says 24. Current odds are 1 in 302 million. The new odds are 1 in 278.369 million according to Lottery Post's article (23 Mega Balls?). KRCA says ~290 million (24 Mega Balls?). For reference, Powerball odds are currently 1 in 292.201 million. The new Mega Millions will be easier to win th

Poll: Classic Mega MillionsReply
paid only $250,000 That is correct it PAID! Are you experiencing a shortage of large money jackpot building games in Michigan and need another? We are experiencing a shortage of large winners like we had with the old game. Many people on here complain about $2 tickets and complain about nobody winning anything and they also complain that they want smaller jackpots and more winners. We had that with the old Mega Millions. From 2009 until the old version ended on 10/18/2013 t
