With the MM ticket increase to $5, a 150% increase in price, MM leadership is trying to increase overall sales but having more and more headline grabbing jackpots, regularly reaching over $1 billion. They are aware that sales will drop as a result of this, but are banking on enough people still playing that there is a net increase in revenue.

If you want other games to stay down in the $1-2 range, we have to stop buying MM all together until they rescind the price increase.

This must be a catastrophic failure or other major national games and many state games will eventually follow suit.

MM improved its odds to be about on par with Powerball, but with PB being $2/ticket, you’re getting over twice as much value per ticket with PB over MM. for the price of 2 MM tickets, you can allow yourself 5 PB tickets, increasing your odds of winning per $1. Shift your spending to PB if you can, try out state lottos with better odds albeit with lower jackpots. I don’t think anyone is going to be upset only winning $40 million instead of $400 million.

Very tired writing this so sorry if the rant came off as non-coherent
