Update blog for December 21, 2013
Just checking in and decided to post something new about the lottery.
Recently the Mega Millions lottery game received a lot of attention due to the high jackpot which 2 people had winning tickets, one in California and the other in Georgia.
I had not paid too much attention to the lottery until I started to see the jackpot for the Mega Millions swell.
The reason? The game has changed.
Here is the overview on the Mega Millions.
The new Mega Millions has changed where the 5 numbers chosen are now from 1 to 75 (previously the number was 1-56). The Mega Ball is now chosen from 1-15 (previously it was 1-46). The non-jackpot winnings are less (per say) as it is easier now to just hit the mega ball and win something 1 in 15 chance. Before it was harder but the non-jackpot payouts were more.
It is a kind of give and take. With this change, the Mega Millions game should have bigger jackpots and more people playing, but the odds are harder as well. So, if you are like me and like to play and win something, here is a tip on how to win something.
Since the Mega ball is drawn from a number between 1-15, you have a better chance of winning something. So what I would do, if you have the money to spend, is to play 15 tickets using numbers 1-15 so you are guaranteed to win something. Then, get quick picks for the other 5 numbers or a set of numbers if you would like. For an extra $1.00 you can megaply the megaball and get 2, 3, 4 or 5 times the non-jackpot payouts depending on what the megaplier is.
That is it. If you do this, you are guaranteed to win something and maybe if your megaball comes out and hit on the other numbers, you can get a descent payout. That is my strategy.
On another note, the Texas Lottery has changed their game as well. They now have the extra option where for a $1.00 more, you can win more on non-jackpot winnings. What I like about it is that now with the extra option, you only have to hit 2 numbers to win a guaranteed $2.00. Hit 3 numbers with the extra option and win at least $10.00, 4 numbers $100 minimum and 5 numbers would get you a minimum of $10,000.
You can still play with $1.00 and no extra but that goes back to 3 numbers needed to win $3.00, 4 numbers around $50.00, 5 numbers around $2,000. How many times have you played and only hit 2 numbers and won nothing? Or hit 3 numbers for just $3.00? Now with the extra option your 2 numbers guarantees you $2.00 and with 3 numbers at least $10.00.
So for me, the extra dollar would be worth it.
These are the changes that I have seen with these two games. Hope this helps you win more money.
Good Luck.
