Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot reached $166 million after 11 rolls. In the previous Mega Millions run, the jackpot reached $189 million after 11 rolls. This time around the cash value for drawing #12 is $75.2 million while PB is advertising a $482 million annuity. Last time around the cash value for drawing #12 was $82.7 million, which is only 10% more, and a much smaller difference than the annuity inflated by a higher interest rates suggests. Still a long ways off from the 11 roll record o

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I don't think it has ever been unusual for the first draw or two to be underfunded, but they need to offer some minimum amount or even the addicts might stop playing. MM is gambling that $50 million is the minimum advertised jackpot that will get enough people playing, while posing a minimum risk of paying a jackpot before it's fully funded. The most recent example I see is when MM was hit on the first drawing a couple of years ago. Total sales of $19,255,000 only funded $13,759,894 of the start

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I saw your later correction and it is no problem. I seem to do the same thing in posts - hit the post button and then find my foul-ups. I know what you mean about feeling the loss greater of $200.00-$500.00 or more all at once. It certainly appears to be more of a big spender kind of move, but it is exactly the same amount as playing one ticket each drawing. With me being a numbers kind of guy with a good measure of self-control I DO keep that in mind and so do not really let it get to me.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I might or might not have won anything actually playing 1 ticket for each drawing. I do not know, you do not know, nobody really knows. It is a game of chance. ! GRIN ! One of the tickets from my planned big purchase could hit the monster jackpot simply because I bought more than one ticket in that purchase. Who knows...? Certainly not me, but I am having fun right now while saving money for the moonshot. But according to my past purchase pattern I have been right so far. In fact, when I was

Texas pick 3 and other states
I'm In Texas so this mostly applies to Texas players but could also apply to other states Do some of you guys not bother with picking numbers everyday and just use numbers to play all month? I play off the last winning number of the month and create a tic tac toe grid (any style works really but I noticed tic tac toe produces the most wins) It also helps to use the same play slips for your numbers all month and it's really convenient to have play slips to play for each

Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
Evidently it must have been against company policy for employees to purchase rejected tickets The stories I've seen have said the policy is that employees can't buy (any) lottery tickets at the store they work at , not just while they're working. There's also the whole deception angle of attempting to buy the ticket in the hopes that the company didn't yet know they owned a ticket worth far more than face value. I don't see any way that it was a lawful sale/purchase. Unprecedented move

You Can't Lose If You Don't PlayReply
You've made no predictions Why would I? No one can predict random numbers. or challenged the success rate of my methodology. Your success rate is cheap and meaningless. You posted a list of 286 three digit combinations weeks ago and continue to refer to this list every time one of them gets drawn. Let's do some math.... with 286 three digit combinations, the probability of one of them getting drawn is 286/1000 = 0.286. This means the probability that none of them gets
