$340 MILLION: Biggest Mega Millions lottery jackpot everReply
Before Ohio had the MegaMillions Ohioans were winning PowerBall jackpots in Indiana and BigGame jackpots is Michigan. It's not where you play but what you play that make you a winner.

did you quit playing when.....Reply
I haven't been playing for years due to the low jackpots. It would be nice if it could finally break the $100 million cash level but that may be asking to much. I don't know why people wouldn't play for low jackpots if they were into such things since it's always hit at a low level.

Nationwide, lotteries struggle to stay competitiveNews Story
Lotteries across the country are struggling to remain competitive, retaining their players while increasing their bottom lines. Last year, 25 U.S. lotteries reported increased sales, but New York's lottery was one of six that had higher profits. One key to New York's success is that the New York Lottery continues to attempt to be fun and entertaining, said former Lottery Director Nancy Palumbo, who was interviewed before leaving the division late last year. We're constantly challenged to

Missing The $200m-$300m JackpotsReply
I miss them too. Those smaller jackpots are Ok - for a time. The whole point of multi-state games is to generate enormous jackpots.

Pressure to win the lottery?Reply
I like to play the lottery and go to the casino but I do not feel pressure to win. I think if you do feel pressure to win it is a sign that maybe you should think about why you are playing in the first place. I want to have millions of dollars but I will still have a life if I do not have those millions of dollars. If you need to have the lottery jackpots and the casinos jackpots then you probably have problems with gambling in my view.-weshar75

Mega Millions hit in Ohio- $40 MillionReply
I believe Ohio has won several times this year. Also, this win sets a record fifteen jackpots awarded in one year for Mega Millions, beating Powerball's record of fourteen jackpots awarded just last year.

N.C. lottery excitement: first Powerball jackpot winnerReply
I'm itching for a 300 million dollar jackpot, 2006 was the year of the not so great lotto jackpots. Don't get me wrong I would take any jackpot win. I would love to see the jackpots get really big for a change.

Euromillions: How i feelReply
Yeah, even with the "small" amounts, most guaranteed starting jackpots are overallocated too. Mega's cash jackpots don't reflect the true values based on sales until they roll at least once, and Powerball's don't until they roll at least twice (due to their minimum $5 million annuity increases).

Powerball rolls to $27 millionReply
With interest rates stabilizing it may take Powerball a bit longer to hit an annuity record, since they won't be expecting as much from the annuity. Also, for the same reason, I think Powerball's annuity jackpots will not catch up to Mega's this run, like it did last month. Powerball's annuity jackpots are more sensitive to interest rate changes than Mega's because of the differences in the way the games structure them.

Strange Quirk In The Jackpot Page
Look around closely, you'll notice the Connecticut Cash 5 is on the list of jackpots at $100,000. The thing is, it's always worth $100,000. It's a fixed payout. Are we going to start seeing jackpots for Pick 3 next?
