The New Deal
 |
So ... I am now doing the multiplier thingie on the lottery plays.
Since 2002 I have been playing the lottery without doing the powerplay on powerball and the megaplier on megamillions.
Now I am running the multiplier on all numbers.
I came to this decision from watching my mother play and on the advisement of the lady at the vendor where I buy my tickets.
She had noticed that I would win but those winning were limited by the lack of a multiplier in the game.
I must admit that one of those big deterents to the new deal was the powerball organization which doesn't do the powerplay option correctly.
If you win non jackpot winnings your winnings are supposed to be multiplied by whatever the powerplay value drawn happens to be.
They fabricated a rule right about the time they increased the price of the tickets as well as the odds of winning whereby a match 5 is ineligible for powerplay and simply is a two million dollar winner.
I suppose when you make up the rules as you go along you can cheat however you wish.
This is what's happening with the powerball people anyway.
