Awful changes effective 10/28/17
for Mega Millions...

Price increased to $2 per ticket & odds increased from
258,890,000 million-to-one to 302,575,350 million to one.

Jackpot winners won't receive all that is in the jackpot prize
pool and they still offer a break-even prize. New game added
to Mega Millions called "Just the Jackpot." For $3 you will
receive 2 chances to win the jackpot ONLY. A horrible
wager for any player. Complete details, click here

Powerball's Obnoxiously Harder To Win Now
Read all the fine details of the rule change plus some tidbits they
don't want you to understand. New game began 10/07/15.
