Mega Millions now $2
« on: November 24, 2017, 10:25:28 pm »
Today I bought a Mega Millions ticket hadn't bought one in a little while.  Now it's $2 instead of $1.  I played Mega more often than Powerball because it was cheaper lol.  I might play once a month and usually only get one ticket unless the jackpot it really high. Will the price increase affect your lotto playing?

No the price increase will not affect how much I play the lotto.  I don't play a lot.  I only play when the jackpot gets real high.

I quit buying lottery tickets years ago. I use to buy five dollars worth. They were one dollar each. I know I will not buy any now. Look at the money I am saving.

Not only did they increase the price, they changed the number of *bleep* too.  They decreased the white *bleep* but increased the Mega *bleep*.  Think this makes it harder to win the jackpot.

I would like to see the jackpot increase to $100 million or even more. That's when I go out and buy lottery tickets.

I don't play the lottery and I understand you have to buy a ticket to win so I guess I'm out of luck !

I only play when it get really high so I don't think the additional dollar will cause me a lot of issues.

    Ask yourself this question: What are my chances of winning this Lottery?
    Think about it. It is worth it playing...or a waste of your personal time?
