If I were Filthy Rich

+63 Since the “change” to Mega Millions why has no one won a jackpot yet?

They say Mega Millions price has gone up to give players better odds but I find it suspicious no one has won a jackpot,a million dollars or even the smaller 5 figure prizes

It’s only been smaller prize amounts

+46 @zzyul There have been some match 5s that have won. The main thing contributing to no one winning the jackpot is yes the odds went up per line, but with lines costing more, people are buying fewer lines. The whole point of the price increase is to hopefully stop regular players from winning while still contributing the same amount as they did before “Mega Millions isn’t getting more of my money, I use to buy 5 tickets per drawing, now I just buy 2.” They want the jackpot to grow high enough to make the news and bring in casual players who think “I normally wouldn’t spend $5 for 1 ticket, but it’s for a billion dollars so I need to get one.”

+43 @DecisionPlastic9740 The odds of winning haven't really increased much. The 4% difference is just a rounding error. 

+29 @jorcam It has only been 3 drawings.

+15 @Huge-Artichoke-1376 1:35 to win $5, fuck that.
