Changes in Mega MillionsReply
Remember though, for a while, Mega Millions had more $100+ million jackpots after Texas joined than it did before Texas joined, and last year, it appeared Texas was right on betting MM for the bigger jackpots. This year, Mega just seems to get hit more often than Powerball. You just never know what will happen in any lottery game, as it's all luck.

Mega Millions lottery jackpot won ... againReply
There's not wrong with players waiting until they feel the jackpot size and odds of winning are worth buying tickets. The whiners I referred to are the players who complain about other players playing and winning the game before they have any interest in playing because MegaMillions could not have $100M+ jackpots if no one played for the $12M jackpots.

I do not dislike smaller jackpots. What I do dislike is facing 9-figure odds for 7-figure jackpots. For example, if Mega Millions was $12mil I wouldn't play, but if Pick-6 Lotto was $12mil I would probably buy $10 worth. It's all about the prize in proportion to the odds.

Lots of players like playing even when the jackpots are small, if they didn't the jackpots would never get bigger so fast. The only players complaining are the whiners who claim they seldom play because the jackpot isn't big enough.

how would you react to winning a jackpotReply
All i was saying is that the florida lottery is not that great game compared to other state lotterys, not as many big jackpots and that are multiple winners for most of the jackpots(most of the big ones), so you don't gotta get all crazy about

Yeah, why don't they just have a $200,000 starting cash jackpot instead? I think the reason why, especially today, lotteries love to pay guaranteed annuities instead is so that they can guarantee lower cash jackpots when interest rates rise. Of course, if interest rates fall (unlikely these days), they have to guarantee higher cash jackpots though.

$90 Million: California lottery jackpot raised againReply
I can understand why the officials keeps the jackpots estimates conservative. I guess it's better then lying and saying the jackpots are higher then they really are.

Closing the deal for othersReply
It will take a while to get to serious money with the way the jackpots keep being won. However, I still bet Mega Millions' cash jackpots will rise faster.

MM & PB minimum jackpots
Mega Millions starts at $12 million; Powerball $15 million. During the rest of 2006, will either jackpot get hit at the minimum level?

why didn't i see the pattern in PBReply
Ohio has MegaMillions 5/56 + 1/46 and Rolling Cash5 5/39 (5/56-17) and RC5 jackpots will probably never be $1M let alone $200M+. People who want a game with less numbers have to be willing to play for smaller jackpots and they can in most states. No 5/40 or smaller game is ever going to have a starting jackpot of $12M and boycotting every lottery game isn't going to change that fact.
