Mega / Powerball

The current one would be at $50 million in a week anyway, to me that's not a huge selling point.

While I understand what you're saying,.. "Only" 20 million reminds me of this lottery commercial (obviously can't find it on YouBoob 🙄) where the couple is waking up and looking off their balcony at pallets full of cash and she suggests "Maybe we should go get some." And he says "Meh, maybe there's only a couple hundred thousand. We should wait until,..." When someone screams "MONEY!" and dozens of people come like a pack of vultures and it's all gone in seconds.

Really wish I could find that video. 🙁

Powerball 515 million

April 5th the new mega starts. 50 million instead of 20 million when someone wins the jackpot. 10 is the minimum prize. And the mega ball alone a prize could be 50 dollars.

And they raised the price of the tickets to 🙁

I have a Lotto subscription.

It automatically plays two numbers every drawing for a year for $104. If I win anything trivial, it can be applied to next year, or I can cash out at the end of the subscription. If it's bigger, I get a check. If it's really big, I get a call from a lottery official to arrange a press conference.

I've never gotten a check or a phone call. The most I think I've won was about $45.

But, for most if us in the not-so-rare air of working people, even the lower end of Lotto wins, maybe $200K, is life changing money. It could pay off your mortgage, or at least a significant chunk.

Or, if you're lucky enough to have a lower rate mortgage you could put the same $$$ into a money market and actually profit instead.

Everything is relative. Do some math

And they raised the price of the tickets to 🙁

Well, obviously. Even though they print the money, there's math.

I had the megaball Tuesday and four of the additional numbers were each off by one digit.
WTF

was that close to $150K or something?

10k

some of the second and third prizes were much higher years ago but have decreased.

I’ve missed jackpots by one number three times

Lotto drawings twice and Cash for Life once,

CA. wins again. :(

I'm guessing a NY'er was playing the same 5 numbers with different MegaBalls - at $5 a pop he/she is lucky they hit early in this new game

I’m thinking NY’rs are more inclined to spend $5 on a single ticket.

Has to be the same lucky SOB

Dropped a Jackson in the lottery vending machine at Stop'n'Shop, it was quickly rejected.
Imagine my surprise when it spit out a bonus Jackson! (y)
