It means...of course I want the jackpot. But the odds for second prize are half of the odds for my state's Lotto jackpot. So, I have a better chance (I know, very little chance) of hitting second prize than my Lotto jackpot.

At my age, $600k after taxes sets me up to quit working and enjoy the rest of my life.

Agree 100%

Time is worth more than an 1/2 billion Jackpot.

The Jackpot	[ 28 ]	[46.67%]
√ Second Prize, it Pays the bills and more..	[ 12 ]	[20.00%]
More than I put in to it.	[ 12 ]	[20.00%]
Enough to Break Even.	[ 4 ]	[6.67%]

Now this is an excellent distribution; expected for sure.

Still we like the lower tiers; just wish they'd give a little bit more for some others.

Maybe reflect the probability of matching.

Could boost those sales, wink.

Id love to win the second place prize in either Powerball or Mega Millions like most people have said already. It is just more realistic that it could happen than winning the jackpot. I play every draw for PB and MM with the multiplier for both. Occasionally, Ill buy more lines when it gets bigger or if I feel like it. If I win 2 mill on PB, I could pay off my family's house and give my mom and brother a good amount of money. With the rest Id have at least 750K left. Id just be frugal and save it. It would be a an extremely nice cushion to have while I focus on finding a career to get into. Im about to be 29 next month and single right now but Id eventually like to meet someone and start a family in the future. With that money, ee could have our own house paid off. If I won the second prize with no multiplier, Id just pay off my family's house and save the rest. A win is win lol.

Genome, I like your plan to start a family. Do not be too surprised when you win the jackpot.

Not to play California's lottery until they drop their random number generator and use balls.

Today's winning 3-ball is going to be a number between 000 and 999.

In a lot of states, lotteries benefit education. That makes the REAL winners the only people who can't play!

Second prize for $500.00.

Got a $1.00 win also on the same ticket.

Maybe get the Jackpot someday, but this is ok.

Thanks.

Now we made our goal, we might raise the bar a notch.

Oo, we got a few mathemagical formulae and strategies brewing in our noggin.

Sssh-oops, we said too much.

Good Luck Everyone.
