The overall record and second place are both held by Euromillions at $235 and $219 million in cash. Both from this year.

Yes this is my estimate of how large they could be if nobody wins again this year. We could have several winners of smaller prizes before then.

In April and in February, MM produced jackpots of $260M+. The February role produced a cash jackpot - calculated from sales of $160.6M before taxes. I consisted of 15 rolls. The April jackpot had a cash value of $149.2M before taxes and consisted of 14 rolls.

The runs were consecutive. Until April there had only been 2 MM winners.

2006 is winding down to a close. Both MM and PB have relatively low jackpots, sigh...

Both have 8 more drawings in 2006. If the jackpot rises without being won in either case, here is the size I estimate they will be.

In MM we are starting with a reset drawing. The last draw of the year would be an 8th draw. The average annuity value for 8th draws is $82M. My modeling program suggests an annuity value of $77M and a cash value of $45.6M. The probability of the jackpot getting t... [ More ]
