Powerball statrts at $20M now, but rolls differently than mega? Whatever, I like mega (being as I live in a mega state) but I wouldn't mind a starting jackpot of $20M

When you consider the odds it's even worse. At the risk of having to listen to someone complain about paying taxes - I note that the pretax expectation (cash) value of MM is 0.49 while that of PB is 0.43.

The $92M figure is just poor marketing - Republican MBA type book cooking - inflated by pretending that investments will be worth the paper they're printed on in 25 years.
