If there is a $5,000,000(cash) jump between last saturdays drawing and tomorrows drawing that means there will be about 20 million tickets sold. So that's 20 million out of a possible 120 million combo's.On the $315 million drawing last christmas there was over 200 million tickets sold.(cash jump of 50 million). This is just guessing, someone correct me if I am wrong.
