UK Lottery expecting sales surge with must-win £25M jackpotReply
I hope this helps. Here in the States we are looking at a PB jackpot of $250,000,000.00 with odds of 292,200,000: 1 The complaints I notice are players who stop playing PB until larger jackpots are reached. Good Luck to Camelot.

I can tell you exactly why the activity is dying. Like you've suspected, they've flooded the state with duds - famous qyote from Wbrightfl. I took a break from my scratchoff hiatus while visiting family this past weekend. I bought $300 worth of random $20, and $25 tickets. I got $20 Monopoly, $20 Gold Rush, and $25 Misfortune tickets. I bought these tickets at random gas stations along Volusia, and Orange county. I stopped by the store that sold the last $2M Holiday Millions prize in Deland, and

Mega Millions lottery tickets double to $2 starting in OctoberReply
I have a Massachusetts MM season ticket, $100 ($90 during holiday promotion) for 104 drawings. In 6 years with the same numbers I have not won more than $7 per year, but it's fun to have. But to spend $200 a year to win $7? No, not that much fun for me, I am dropping the ST. I won't say I won't get a ticket again, but like Powerball I will let someone else get the jackpot to $800 million first. But I'm sure they will be very successful in boosting jackpots. I will have my old numbers in my h

Mega Millions lottery tickets double to $2 starting in OctoberReply
I didnt play PB until 2 years ago because of the $2 price. But then i noticed in the winter/spring of 2015 people were hitting PN jackpots with a lot more frequency than MM. I think the average was about 1x a month which was enough to sell me. Now that all stopped when they messed with the odds. Now what attracted me to MM was the $1 price and they've done away with that, too. Not sure how PB and MM will differ except that MM odds will be worse and they will offer a slight increase in smaller pr

Mega Millions lottery tickets double to $2 starting in OctoberNews Story
Game matrix also changed to increase jackpots Five years after Powerball lottery ticket prices were increased to $2, the multi-state Mega Millions game is following suit. Mega Millions lottery tickets will increase from $1 to $2 later this year, and the odds of winning the jackpot will decrease, according to a measure adopted Monday by New York's lottery regulator. The move is meant to boost headline-grabbing jackpots for the multi-state lottery game, which is offered in more than 40 st

My luck must be changing somewhat. Didn't really need to top off since already filled up from Friday morning, but decided to go over to Murphy Express at the Walmart at SR 200 CR 484. I bought 2 tickets. 1 $20 Monopoly and 1 $25 World Cash. The $20 Monopoly was on roll 375K and continues to make me believe the $5M is really, really out there somewhere between 350K-400K. The $25 World Cash was on roll 140K, the highest I've seen around here with many places selling a lot of older roll numbers

Big Jackpots over 50 millionReply
They tried that with the Monopoly disaster a few years ago. If you want better odds and smaller jackpots, play the state lotto. It's been proven that PB and MM sales go up dramatically when there is a big jackpot. So if they change the games where there are lots of million dollar winners, but not a big jackpot to win, the game will die. And there are million dollar second prizes already.

Lawsuit alleges Illinois lottery contractor cheated players, vendorsReply
For many years, I avoided playing scratch-if games but finally took the plunge in 2014 and 2015. I primarily purchased $10 game tickets but occasionally splurged on the higher prize $20 and $30 tickets. I particularly thought I had the bead on a $10 game called $10K per Week For Life when I noted how long it had been on the market and the dwindling number of locations it was available to be purchased. I would buy up $100 worth of tickets at a pop in hopes of winning one of the two remaining top

So it is done the same way as FL. That would be book #58,079. For example, in FL it might look like: 1228 - 0723189 - 001 Book # 723,189. We look at, and use these numbers because they can help a person strategically target jackpots in a game. For example, if we know that a jackpot appears every 56k books and that all the jackpots for the first 400k books sold have been claimed, we could know to avoid low number books. If we noticed a large gap in particular without
