Mega Millions confirms ticket price increase to $5, other changes coming April 2025Reply
That's inflation for ya! At any rate they should take away the 70 ball also for more second prizes. I won't be playing unless I'm in an anonymous state and the jackpot is super high. I'm plugging away on different games right now as I have already all but quit Mega because nobody wins. Speaking of changing games Michigan has 3 dead draw games including our 6/xx game which hasn't been changed in coming on 20 years.... I'll post a thread on that on another forum...

80-year-old Michigan man wins $300,000 in lottery one week after switching to scratch-off gamesReply
Actually, I have considered switching to scratch tix. A couple things that keep me from changing are I think Texas scratch tix are rather weak considering the top prizes for the odds and cost of the games compared to other states like Florida. Also, Texas is a BIG state. If a particular game only has say 4 top prizes, there's a lot of territory those 4 top prizes can be hiding. Even a game with 10 top prizes (which is unusual) has a lot of places to hide.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
As always, thank you again Cape for running the numbers on the new game. Other than the $500 prize tier, the $1M prize looks terrible by comparison to current games. In addition to not changing the game name, the Florida lotto is not showing any creativity with this new $50 ticket. I suspect they'll pull the current 500X off the shelf now which may jeopardize that last $25M prize from being claimed. This feels like a trick out of the Illinois lottery play book.

my idea for a multi-state lotteryReply
My idea is to have a game that costs $1.00. The buy 5, get one free is similar to promotions that lotteries run, but make this a permanent part of the game. For those who don't mind spending $5 on a progressive draw game, they get an extra chance to win. $20 million isn't as much as hundreds of millions, but it's still life-changing. It's about the same as MM starting jackpot but without the absurdly low chances of winning. 1 in 18 million instead of 1 in 300 million. More frequent winners i

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
We have our pool tickets for the next Mega Millions draw. This time we got one ticket with a 5 times multiplier and one ticket with a 10 times multiplier. It is great getting the bigger multipliers but we need them to hit. We had a lot of larger multipliers in the previous draw but none of them hit. I may be the only one on this site that likes the Mega Millions game. There is a simple reason why I like the game. It costs me very little to play and there is the potential to win a life chang

Texas Lottery says NJ group tried to buy another Lotto Texas jackpotReply
Oh, you mean changing the game to cap the jackpot. You might as well cancel the game at that point, because the newsflash is that lotto-style games make their profits (like in all gambling) during the peak times. If you delete the peaks, you delete the profits. By peak times, I mean situations that convince non-regulars to buy a ticket. They don't do that unless the jackpot is through the roof. Lotteries were created as a way to fund state programs. If they fail to do that, they won't ex

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Was there Another $10 million scheduled rollover for the MM???. Is that number 9 ? They may want to consider just changing the game to an RNG, so they can save money and not prop up the rollovers for those that participate.

Michigan Lottery announces Bonus Draws Daily 4 promotionReply
The systems that I have used before the promotions get me hits. However, whenever there's any promotions on the game; they continue to fail. It could be due to them changing out the ball machines more frequently. A year or two ago, when they had the red add-on, I did not win once the entire month. The months prior, I was getting some wins.
