Say goodbye to PB & MM soon!Reply
Like coin says, you have 0 cred. You probably don't remember right after they changed PB there were several jackpots won before it had a chance to build up, and some were claiming PB would soon be gone. It's random. Random things happen. There will be several rolls to another big jackpot. There will also be several winners in a short time without several rolls. If it was any other way, it wouldn't be random, would it? That WOULD be a problem.

Don Johnson can his tactics work on lotteriesReply
It's silly to even mention PB and MM as potential games, but it might be possible in some of the scratch-off games. When you think about it, many story I've read about someone beating a gambling game was silly for anyone to think about doing it the way it was done. Weather it was the lady in Texas with a master degree in mathematics who brought all those scratch-off and won several million dollars jackpots, or the Michigan couple that traveled to Massachusetts to spend $300K+ playing Winfal

NJ Cash 5Reply
N.J. Cash Five still proving to be a popular game here in the Garden State. Fast growing jackpots and a winning streak working well. How long will it take the lottery commission to mess it up, by changing the game? Just asking!

Mega Millions And Powerball Jackpot Won Back To Back In New York.
The lottery need to fix these Multi-State games. Lottery players are tired of seeing 1 winner taking $100 Million plus jackpots. https://www.usamega.com/powerball-drawing.asp?d=3/14/2015 https://www.usamega.com/mega-millions-drawing.asp?d=2/27/2015

EuromillionsReply
That's not true, non-residents have won in the past. Also in the case of EU non-residents whose countries don't participate in the Euromillions they would not be allowed to decline payment because that would put EU citizens of other nations in the position of arbitrarily being treated differently which would be illegal. Years before the Euromillions started (and now still)people from countries bordering Germany would travel over the border to buy their tickets in Germany as the jackpo

Mega Millions And Powerball Odds Are Approaching The Size Of The Usa Population Of 318.9 Million.Reply
I agree. I play the lottery because I hope I'll get super lucky one day and win. But I don't hold my breath because I know that it's a sucker bet. All I do know about playing is I will never win if I don't play, so I give myself a miniscule chance by buying tickets. And I play games that have smaller jackpots more than I play MM or PB. If I was ever so lucky to win one million (which really would be less than a million due to state and federal taxes) I'd be very happy.

Bill would allow N.C. lottery winners to remain anonymousReply
Anonymity is not going to hurt sales nor will it stop fraud. By the way, as few large jackpots that are won in individual states as there are, they can't tell me that an investigative/audit branch of that particular state, can't take a look at the records of the few winners each year for verification of a ticket by someone who is authorized to claim their winning. Really ?? REALLLLY ??? Sorry Lottery Reps, that doesn't fly with this participant. Allow the option

Is mega millions worth playing anymore?Reply
Long Odds, That's an excellent analogy with the ball parks and a raffle. I've always looked at raffles this way, in a lottery game $1 or $2 wins millions, tens of millions, or 100 or hundreds of millions depending on the game and jackpot. In a raffle, like your example of the NY one where a $10 ticket can win $1M, in essence every dollar wins $100,000. Not bad but as far a 'most bang for the buck' that's whoop tee do as compared to lotto jackpots.

Georgia Lottery launches new Georgia-only lotto gameReply
This Jumbo Bucks Lotto,looks like a Pick 6 game to me. The other game ,All or Nothing, has 6 numbers to pick, but only has top prize of $250K. This new game can grow big time jackpots in the long run. Have fun GA LP.

What's your strategy?Reply
When it comes to scratchers for my state, I always look at the top prizes remaining list they post daily on their site before deciding which tickets I'm going to get. If the game is still fairly new (even if a couple jackpots have already been claimed) I will buy 5 - 6 of the tickets depending on how much cash I'm willing to part with. If a game has been sitting for a while (more than 6 months) I am leery of buying a ticket but I will occasionally if I feel a hunch. I rarely buy entire packs
