$875 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot surges on rolloverReply
As for me, I would gladly pay taxes on the Powerball Jackpot and Mega Millions jackpot. The money i would receive is more than enough to keep my bank account fat happy. All you people complaining about the jackpot being taxed, it is still more money than you have now, be grateful for the win.

$875 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot surges on rolloverReply
No it is not evident that winning the lottery is not with manifestation, birthdays, shoe size, horoscope or whatever else. At the end of the day you have not interviewed each and every Mega Millions and Powerball winner to find out what they did to win the jackpot. There are winners who win with quick pick numbers and other who win with their own special numbers. Most people who win with their special numbers do not reveal what the secret is because of people like you.

$835 MILLION: Powerball jackpot set to deliver ultra-wealthReply
this is a bit of a false narrative, the top five states with the most Mega Millions Jackpot winners are: New York 43, California 33, New Jersey 22, Ohio 20 and Michigan 18 and the top five states with the most Power Ball Jackpot winners are: Indiana 39, Missouri 31, Minnesota 22, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin 19 *notice a lot of the top states have not had a Jackpot winner in many years.

New York man claims state's biggest Mega Millions prize at $476 millionReply
That's all true, but note that I said IF you have a fixed AMOUNT to spend on the lotto (and I should have added for clarity, you want to maximize your EXPECTED return, which includes winning the jackpot), then it makes sense to buy more $2 plays than a less number of $3 plays, because the jackpot gets so high that it contributes more to the expected return than the non-jackpot wins. This can be proved mathematically. I understand that since the odds are so low to win the jackpot, you might

Michigan bill may allow lottery winners of multi-state games to remain anonymousNews Story
Michigan legislator compares revealing identities to throwing meat in a shark-infested ocean By Kate Northrop Michigan legislators are discussing a bill that would allow winners of multi-state games like Powerball and Mega Millions to remain anonymous when claiming their prizes. House bill 4048, sponsored by state Representative Pat Outman, is currently a hot topic, especially considering the looming $1.73 billion Powerball jackpot that has lottery players across the nation in a tic

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
Thanks for the info. For some reason powerball.com is blocked on my computer and won't come up on my Android either. The block just ended for Mega millions. Glad no individual state held up the data/security stuff to Iowa as happens infrequently!

$1.1 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot now the eighth-largest in historyReply
Interestingly, it appears the official Mega Millions website got it wrong. The actual estimate for tonight is $1.13 billion , not $1.12 billion. That's a difference of $10,000,000, so not insignificant. I will cross-post this on the Powerball story too, since there's discussion about it there.

Michigan friends playing the same lottery numbers both win big in PowerballReply
Since Doubleplay came here, I stopped playing with Powerplay except on-line. That option still not available. Maybe frayed logic, but the second set of #'s could yield me $10 million vs max of $2 million with Powerplay. Now for Mega millions, she still gets Megaplier!

One Michigan lottery ticket wins $842.4 million Powerball jackpotReply
It's a double whammy with US State-only lottos. They have low payout percentages, at least with Powerball and Mega Millions. Then they have high taxes on the winners. Account for all the money going in from the players and out to the State, and you see how unjust US lottos are. That's what happens with all coerced monopolies, which is what all US State-only lottos are. You get ripped off with inferior coerced-monopoly products.
