Lottery competition between two border statesNews Story
A close look at the Georgia and Tennessee Lotteries University of Georgia demographer exemplifies general lack of understanding; buys into lottery myth: There aren't people in Brooks Brothers suits holding briefcases standing in line for tickets. Bob Kilgore lives in Jasper, Tenn., but he regularly buys lottery tickets in neighboring Georgia. I started playing the lottery in Georgia when it started (in 1993), and I've just kept buying most of my tickets in Georgia, Mr. Kilgore sai

Ohio: 5/1 - 5/31/2026Reply
003 004 193 194 283 284 373 374 463 464 553 554 Also trying 131 and 311 just because they are the jackpots for the Powerball and Mega Millions. Not sure how often it happens that they are permutations of each other, but it's worth a try.

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
I wasn't a conspiracy theorist until now....... First, having 2 grand prize winners for a non-billion dollar jackpot, not surprising. Those grand prizes not being in at least one of these states (CA, TX, FL or NY) is odd. The real eyebrow raiser was out of 89 second prize winners, there was no representation from TX, FL or NY. Second, in the following drawing on 5/2, miraculously FL and TX have grand prize winners. What really raises suspicion is that 4 out of 5 numbers were outside of w

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Mentioning a conspiracy while claiming no conspiracy is just pure irony. If you'd spent enough time on the website you'd have seen dozens of them every time jackpot gets big. Just recently with someone claiming all the jackpots coming from one county in Michigan. I agree with you on one thing. There has never been so many second tier winners on a small jackpot. And if you'd read the article you'd understand the reason behind it. It's the way the playslips are for a lot of the states.

Balancing Odds and Cost 😁Reply
If I ever win something that big, most of it would be used for or left to grassroots causes. Spread out over things like a food pantry, a cat rescue, after school activities for underprivileged kids, senior care, dog shelter, and so on. All of those community needs that don't get funding because it doesn't make money for the already wealthy. Friends or family would get something, just not like 100 mil. No one needs that kind of money, including myself. What I see in big jackpots isn't a big

Help Me Understand This 😭Reply
Thank you for the encouragement on me not winning the jackpot I will spend my money at Chic -fil-A instead, , lol just kidding. I actually am not focused on the jackpots, any win is a good win, and a jackpot win is an even better win. Thank you for the perspective on the odds.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
We can safely conclude Powerball is going to win the overall race even though it may lose the occasional battle. With the game expanding to United Kingdom, the jackpots will grow much faster and most likely break new records. This is a significant change to the game.

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
My assumption.. Likely operate similarly to California .. Prizes less than the jackpot. Because they are UK, won't be taxed at payout (tax collected at point of sale). No federal tax because effectively UK lottery . Jackpots.. Because they are pooled... and payed out only as an annuity.... not sure...

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Tell that to the Millions that lost $5 as opposed to the 6 jackpots that have been won since the 150% price increase beginning on 4-08-2025. https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Games/Mega_Millions/Estimated_Jackpot.html As Rcbbuckeye has in his signature, JUST LOOK AT THE ODDS OF ANY JACKPOT GAME, THAT WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW If the new price tag is such a great deal why is it taking 40 draws to reach $980 Million ? If the new price tag is such a

Oklahoma couple checked forgotten Powerball lottery ticket, found out they won $1 millionReply
a Powerball drawing for a $632.5 million jackpot ... But for four months, the ticket purchased at Harps on East Highway 9 in Norman, Oklahoma had gone unnoticed in a couple's clutter pile on the kitchen table Reading between the lines it sounds like they're not regular players and that clutter pile only had that one ticket, or perhaps a very few tickets from a few of the recent big jackpots. I suspect a lot of unclaimed tickets happen that way - somebody who doesn't normally play picks
