UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
My thought is that the MSL doesn't even remotely want to be your financial planner, but without the annuity option, they can't fill the billboards up with zeros. What a scam- they know that 95 percent of the people will take the cash...and they're making plenty of it now with the high interest rates. In 2019, the cash values were running at 60-70%. It's 47% now. That's 130-230 million profit on a billion-dollar jackpot. Yeah, right...now is the time to jack the ticket price to $5.

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
The Saturday jackpot was raised to $1.3 billion , with a cash option of $608.9 million . I'm wondering if they managed a typo for the cash value. If the cash:annuity ratio stayed the same it would be $628.9 million cash. If it's really $6 0 8.9 that's a pretty big change in interest rates, and a fairly big coincidence that the difference is an even $20.0 million. The TX website hasn't posted the worksheet yet, but that should give us the answer if MUSL doesn't make a change first.

Hmmmm $ 50 mil starting jackpots ..... What do they estimate the following jackpot to increase. Multiplier 10 x .... Does that include 2nd prize/ 1st runner up? I'll still play but .... won't but a ticket until it hits 200 mil ..... And won't but 2 tickets until it hits 400 mil etc etc. gotta be economical! Lastly ... Would it hurt the consortium to reduce the annuity to 20 years instead of 29?

$975 MILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againReply
Just increased 40 million, Power Ball is coward and sucks!! That's almost half of the actual increase from Wednesday to Saturday. I wouldn't start at anything higher than that for a Monday drawing if I was in charge, because the jump is almost always smaller than the previous Wednesday to Saturday jump. When it's all done the cash jackpot is always the result of actual sales and the annuity is always the amount the cash can earn based on the current interest rates. Won't go out on a lim
