EZpooling Slashes Cost to Play Mega Millions by 35% in Arizona

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 9, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — PowerPick Players Club is the oldest and most established lottery service provider in the USA, with an A+ Rating by the Better Business Bureau. Today it announced that Arizonans can now pay significantly less than the cost of a ticket to become a Mega Millions jackpot winner and winner of other large prizes.
Players don't have to pay the new $5 price for a single Mega Millions ticket. Instead, they can share in a pool of Mega Millions tickets for only $3.25. That's a 35% cost savings, plus players get to benefit from playing with multiple tickets instead of just a single ticket. With the pool, players can still win Millions even at the $50 Million starting jackpot.
The ezpooling.com website offers lottery pools in Powerball, Mega Millions, Fantasy 5, The Pick and Scratcher tickets. Players just click a button to instantly join a pool with other Arizona players. Players can share up to 40 Mega Millions tickets for as little as $3.25 and still win millions or tens of millions.
'Lottery Pools provide players with more chances of winning than any other way of playing – It's simply the smartest, most entertaining and least expensive way of playing,' said Andrew Amada, of PowerPick, Inc. 'Those who pool see more winning tickets than any other way of playing. Traditional purchases, with only one or two tickets are very unsatisfying to most players because they don't see any winners drawing after drawing after drawing. That rarely happens with lottery pools due to the volume of tickets in each pool.'
About PowerPick Players Club:
Based in Phoenix, Arizona, PowerPick Players Club was founded in 1995 by Andy and Judy Amada to give players an opportunity to play with hundreds more tickets in Powerball and other jackpot games for only pennies per ticket by pooling with others.
'It's all about more tickets, more winners, and more excitement,' said Amada.
PowerPick is not a lottery and does not sell lottery tickets. It provides a pooling service to players throughout Arizona. So, all those who don't work in large office environments, where pooling is more accessible, can also enjoy the benefits of pooling.
Although PowerPick has a brick-and-mortar location, players throughout Arizona are able to join a lottery pool through PowerPick's ordering website https://www.ezpooling.com/.

Arizona's GOP delegation chose tax breaks for billionaires over clean energy jobs and public health

Photo by iStock / Getty Images Plus As a registered nurse with over 25 years of experience serving vulnerable communities across Arizona — in school clinics, long-term care facilities, and public health programs — I've dedicated my career to helping people live healthier, safer lives. I've worked with families struggling to find affordable care, seniors battling chronic health conditions, and children suffering from asthma worsened by air pollution. That's why I was deeply disappointed to see Arizona's Republican delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives vote in favor of what President Donald Trump is calling a 'big, beautiful bill.' There's nothing beautiful about it. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX This bill would add $3.8 trillion to the national debt in order to give massive tax breaks to billionaires — at the direct expense of hardworking Arizonans. Reps. Andy Biggs, Juan Ciscomani, Eli Crane, Paul Gosar and Abe Hamadeh shamefully supported this reckless plan, which guts essential programs that keep people healthy and safe. (Rep. David Schweikert slept through the vote, but said he would have backed it.) That includes slashing Medicaid and food assistance that countless Arizona families rely on. It also repeals clean energy investments made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). These programs are creating jobs, improving air quality, helping combat Arizona's extreme heat and lowering energy costs for our communities. In just two years, the IRA has created nearly 19,000 clean energy jobs and generated $12.75 billion in investment for Arizona. These are real, tangible opportunities, especially in rural and underserved areas, where job growth and energy affordability are most needed. Rolling back these investments would halt progress, increase electricity bills, and eliminate job opportunities in Arizona's growing clean energy sector. This is particularly dangerous in a state like ours, where the climate impacts are not some distant threat, but our day-to-day reality. Arizona just experienced one of the hottest years on record, and extreme heat is now a leading cause of weather-related deaths. Seniors are especially vulnerable, and many already struggle to pay rising utility bills. Repealing clean energy incentives would worsen those burdens, put lives at risk, and raise energy costs by nearly $400 per household. Our summers are growing longer and hotter, and Arizona is home to some of the fastest-warming cities in the country. Heat-related illnesses have been increasing in tandem with these extreme events. This kind of heat can cause a range of serious health issues, from dehydration and exhaustion to life-threatening conditions like heatstroke. It also worsens chronic illnesses like heart and lung disease, which are common among older adults. Rising temperatures have also been linked to increased mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and even suicide. As extreme heat events become more frequent, health leaders and policymakers must take action now to protect both physical and mental well-being through informed, climate-resilient strategies. These clean energy investments are also key in reducing utility bills by making homes more energy-efficient and expanding access to affordable, clean energy. Through rebates, tax credits, and incentives for home upgrades such as insulation, heat pumps and solar panels, the IRA empowers families — especially those in low-income and historically underserved communities — to reduce their energy consumption and save money each month. As climate-driven extreme heat becomes more frequent and severe, adopting stronger building codes and fully implementing IRA programs are essential to building resilience, protecting vulnerable communities, and easing financial burdens for those most at risk After a lifetime of work, our elders deserve dignity, not heatstroke and financial insecurity. As older adults, we also have a responsibility to protect future generations. Our choices today will determine whether our grandchildren inherit livable communities or face even more deadly heatwaves and health crises. Arizona's decision-makers should be fighting for policies that protect public health, economic security and our environment, not handing out tax breaks to billionaires while our communities suffer. The 'big, beautiful bill' does exactly the opposite. It's an attack on the people I've spent my life caring for — families, seniors, and those most vulnerable to both economic and environmental injustice. We deserve better. Arizona deserves leaders who will put people over profits and prioritize a healthier, more just future for all. SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE

Someone is holding a $1 million lottery ticket in Virginia — and it expires soon

A Virginia lottery player is holding a ticket worth $1 million, but it will expire soon if it remains unclaimed, lottery officials said. The player won big in the Virginia's New Year's Millionaire Raffle drawing Jan. 1, the Virginia Lottery said in a June 11 news release. It was bought at a Food Lion in Fishersville, about a 100-mile drive northwest from Richmond. Four other winning raffle tickets have already been claimed, but the person holding ticket #229618 has yet to claim their prize, according to the lottery. The ticket expires at 5 p.m. June 30, lottery officials said. Another big prize from a Powerball ticket sold at a 7-Eleven in North Chesterfield — a 12-mile drive southwest from Richmond — is also set to expire soon if the prize is not claimed, the lottery said. This ticket won $50,000 in the Dec. 28 drawing and expires at 5 p.m. June 26, according to lottery officials. The winning numbers in that drawing were 6, 31, 51, 54, 55 and the Powerball number was 12, the lottery said. 'Whoever has the winning tickets should contact the Virginia Lottery immediately,' lottery officials said. In Virginia, lottery winners have 180 days after the drawing to claim their prizes before tickets expire, according to lottery officials.

Filberto's Mexican Restaurant Chain Abruptly Closes 8 Arizona Locations

Many Arizonans are very familiar with Filiberto's Mexican Restaurants. Whether it's the burritos or the 24/7 drive-thrus, the chain is a well-known staple in the state. Filiberto's restaurants have become a much-replicated concept. Now, eight Filiberto's in Arizona have shut their doors all at once. The spate of closings surprised and baffled customers. "Why are a bunch of locations closed with just a sign on the door that says closed. No explanation or nothing. Just a handwritten know what's up?" wrote one befuddled person on Reddit. The Filiberto's restaurants are owned by John Schwimmer. His LinkedIn page describes him as the owner and operator of "eight Filberto's Mexican Food Restaurants in the Valley" through Compadres Group. According to the Phoenix New Times, the eight locations "closed with no explanation." Cesar Tenorio, described by the New Times as "a member of the family that founded Filiberto's in 1993," told the publication that Schwimmer shut down the restaurants after 'unforeseen medical issues.' Tenorio's family hopes to take them over, according to the New Times. The news site listed the shuttered locations as being in Phoenix, Avondale, Apache Junction, Chandler, Peoria, and Scottsdale. On Reddit, some people said they had stopped going to the restaurants because of the costs. The chain celebrated 30 years in Arizona in 2023. Axios labeled Filiberto's as an Arizona institution that started out in San Diego. Filiberto's restaurants are "Arizona's most ubiquitous and endlessly copied restaurant chain," Axios wrote. In 2018, there were 79 locations in Arizona, from Yuma to Flagstaff, the magazine Mexican Restaurant Chain Abruptly Closes 8 Arizona Locations first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 11, 2025
