Andy Hughes and I have been running a regular Mega Millions / Powerball contest for several years. (Almost) any time the jackpot for either drawing is over $150 million dollars, we get tickets. In situations when the Mega Millions & Powerball jackpots are both over $150 million dollars (like now) Andy is spending $24 a week and I am spending $20 a week to feed it....

Regarding the other contests I used to run - I got tired of posting contests and getting little response. I would generally get 7 - 10 members that regularly played and I was sending a few members prizes over and over. I got bored just giving my stuff away.
