Answer: 5 matches and the Mega ball = Jackpot $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
5 matches, not including the Mega ball = $250,000
4 matches and the Mega ball = $10,000
4 matches, not including the Mega ball = $150
3 matches and the Mega ball = $150
3 matches, not including the Mega ball = $7
2 matches and the Mega ball = $10
1 matched number and the Mega ball = $3
Match just the Mega ball = $2

What are the 6 most reacurring Mega millions numbers in the MI mega millions?
So i need to know what are the most reacurring numbers in the Michigan mega millions, the first 5 numbers and then the power ball.
Answer: First off let me say technically there is no Michigan Mega Millions, there is only one Mega Millions game and it's played in a total of 43 states including Michigan. Also in the Mega Millions the 6th and final ball/number is referred to as the Mega ball, the power ball is chosen in the Powerball lottery which is seperate from the Mega Millions. Sorry I'm just being technical but here's your answer, obviously in the Mega Millions you choose 5 regular numbers and 1 Mega ball number so I have listed the top 6 numbers drawn for each over the past 680 drawings.

How do you purchase Mega Millions tickets online from out of state?
I live in Florida and saw that you can (somehow) purchase Mega Millions lottery tickets online? Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks in advance
Answer: You can't. You heard wrong.
As far as I know, Illinois just recently changed their law to allow for on-line purchases of lottery tickets. It specifically says on their website, however, that you MUST reside in the state of Illinois when you make the purchase.
Do NOT trust an on-line source. Anyone telling you they can sell you Mega Millions tickets on-line when you are in Florida is lying to you and scamming you!

Is it better to play scratch tickets are the mega millions or powerball?
I spend 20.00 every two months on tickets. Is it better to buy the 10.00 tickets or 5.00 or the mega millions or powerball. I only do this for fun. Yes I do save money each month. Its just for entertainment. Yes I work too and go to school. What kind of strategy should I use?
Answer: Your details show as if you expect to some answers
and give the response to every possible suggestions
Good that you go to school
Good that you work
Good that you play only for fun
Good that you spend only $20
So what may be not good?
Powerball. Is it right that there are 59 balls?
You have not any chance
Scratch off? I don't want to hear about it.
Mega millions. A few people told me some favorable
things about Mega M. but still it is hard to win.
Try to make a little pool of friends. It will help you buy more tickets
And try to put one number from the last three draws
one number from those numbers that were not drawn in the last 10
draws and the rest of numbers from the last draws 4-8.
I say only try because you are a busy person because
a better strategy requests time , energy, analysis of past performance of your system. You see, there is a better way, but you need to work with,
and I understand that you have not much time.
That is why i told you a pool or wheeling and maybe a bit of luck will help you
Success

How would someone collect Mega Millions winnings?
If someone has no bank account, and buys a ticket and wins the total jackpot of either Mega Millions or Powerball, how would they go about getting the money?
I tried googling it, but all I come up with is the general "how to play" and some email scams dealing with Mega Millions in the subject line.
Answer: If someone won the Mega Millions and he did not have a bank account, he would walk into a bank, and say, "Hello, I'd like to open a bank account" and he would open a new bank account.
Then he'd take his Mega Millions check to the bank and say, "Hello, I'd like to make a deposit."
Then he'd fill out a deposit slip and sign the back of the check and hand it to the teller.
Hope that helps.

What is the best lottery software to play with mega millions or powerball?
The Mega Millions jackpot is over 200 Million. Can anyone please tell me what software I should use to help me win?
Answer: The lottery numbers are selected randomly. What happened in the past has no bearing on the future. There is no way to predict in advance which numbered ping pong balls are going to be selected. If the makers of lottery software had something that worked, they would be using it to win hundreds of millions of dollars for themselves instead of selling it to others.

What was the highest jackpot the mega millions ever got to?
What was the highest jackpot the mega millions ever got to, and how much does taxes takes out of it? Also since your bank cant hold all of it, what can you do to make sure that you obtain almost all of it?
Answer: The March 6, 2007, Mega Millions annualized $390 million Jackpot retains the world record for "Advertised Jackpot" amount. The actual cash value of the Jackpot of $233,000,000 is actually only the second largest in history once it was eclipsed by the $240 Million prize pool in January 2011. The advertised Jackpot for this drawing was $10 million higher because interest rates were more favorable in 2007
To my knowledge, there is no limit on the amount of money you can have in your account. If you have say, $120 million (after taxes) in your bank account/accounts all that money isn't actually in there inside the bank, for security purposes. It would be held in one or multiple Federal Depositories since most individuals would gladly accept a debit card or credit card in lieu of carrying exceedingly large amounts of cash with them everywhere. Convenience is a wonderful thing.
I don't know what you mean by "what can you do to make sure that you obtain almost all of it?"
If you won $120 million (after taxes) you have the right to get all of that money in cash. It is your money. However there are limits on the amount of money a bank can give you via withdraw from inside a bank. I don't know if there is a law or regulation, but the bank will have some limit based on the amount of money it has on hand vs the amount of money it is required to keep on hand for everyone else. My bank, Navy Federal Credit Union has a $50,000 daily teller withdraw limit unless 24 hours notice is given for amounts over that and a minimum of 7 day notice of withdraws over $1,000,000. The branch of my bank I use is also very large, some banks, like those inside grocery stores wont have even $10,000 to give out. You can request your money through your bank and it will take some time, how much I don't know, I would guess a few weeks to have even 25% of that brought over in cash from a depository. You will certainly get your money, but it will take time.
Taxes: For winnings of $5,000.01 and over, your state's Department of Revenue removes the 25 percent federal withholding before you receive your winnings check (or, if it is an annuity, from each winnings check). You then receive a W-2G form with each check to submit with your 1040 form to show that the 25 percent federal withholding already has been paid. In addition to federal tax, your state will make additional withholdings for taxes, and most states will deduct other money that you may owe to the state, such as back taxes, child support, loan payments, etc. The state tax withholdings are as follows: 3rd source link for state tax list

What do you guys think about the new Mega Millions game matrix?
New matrix is 5/75 and 1/15. I like to play the lottery sporadically, but I cant see what is so fun about playing mega millions new odds of 1 in 259M.
I feel that buying 1 mega millions ticket for every drawing is not enough to have a chance of winning. 5 or 10 tickets in one drawing will be better.
Some lottery players feel that saving lines to buy more tickets in one particular drawing is better than buying 1 lottery ticket for every drawing.
Answer: "I feel that buying 1 mega millions ticket for every drawing is not enough to have a chance of winning. 5 or 10 tickets in one drawing will be better."
Yeah, so instead of 1 in 259 million, you'll have a 1 in 25.9 million. Yes, it's 10X better. Still, you can't quite fathom just how astronomical those odds are!
Buy 50 tickets. Buy 50 tickets each and every drawing for the next 70 years of your life. Guess what? By any practical measure, you will still have ZERO chance of ever hitting any sort of lottery jackpot. It's just never going to happen.
What do I think of the new matrix? Honest to God, it just makes no difference. The Mega Millions (and almost all lotteries) has a 50% payback rate. So if they sell $100 million for one drawing, they are only going to put approximately $50 million in towards prizes. It's pathetic.
At a 50% payback rate, no other standard form of gambling on the planet comes even close to being as bad a bet as playing the lottery. ALL forms of the lottery, regardless of the matrix, are a TAX on the poor and on the ignorant.
Believe me - I know. I was far too ignorant for far too long. No more.

How high does the Mega Millions jackpot have to be before it becomes statistically profitable to buy a ticket?
The odds of winning the mega millions jackpot are 1 in 176 million and tickets are one dollar, so how high would the advertised jackpot have to be to get more than $176,000,000 via the cash option and after taxes (assuming 6% state income tax and not sharing the jackpot with someone else?).
I know they automatically withold 29% or something for federal taxes, but I hear it never ends up being enough and you have to pay more.
Answer: 12 million.... the jackpot just hit and it is on a hot streak so it is likely to hit again...lotta chumps out there not willing to waste a dollar on a measly 12 million jackpot so now it is likely to only have 1 winner. now , if you should happen to match 3 numbers you are personally on a hot streak so if the mega millions is still under 20 million the next time play it again....my theorem is dead on and I challenge any mathematician to dis-prove it

How to play the mega millions lottery in Wisconsin?
I a friend of mine asked me how to play the mega millions in Wisconsin I didnt know how play it so I was wondering if anyone knows how to play it or have played it before.
Answer: 1. Go somewhere that sells tickets, most gas stations and a lot of grocery stores sell them
2. You have 2 options when purchasing your ticket/tickets. First you can choose your own numbers, in the store there will be slips and you fill it out with your chosen numbers and then the clerk will run it through the computer and print out your ticket. Your other option is just walking up to the clerk and asking for the quick pick option, with this option the lottery computer will randomly choose your numbers for you. If you don't know you choose or receive 6 numbers, 5 regular numbers between 1-56 and one Mega ball number between 1-46
3. After you have your ticket/tickets you can watch the drawing on TV, get the results online at the Wisconsin Lottery site several hours after the drawing or the next day/days, or even take it to a place that sells tickets and they will check it for you. I recommend the first two options.
