konane: You'd think differently if you had a couple $150 winners.

You think the roll over pots will be bigger than powerball

Todd,And when MM started over a year ago they promissed average jackpots of $300+ Mil and they haven't even cracked $200 Mil yet, let alone average that much. PB has been past $200 Mil twice since they changed.I just feel that so many people in Texas will play MM every week that it will lead to more hits, rather than more rollovers.

I think once Texas begins selling MM tickets, the jackpot will be hard pressed to pass $100 Million.You can disagree, but you're also disagreeing with the statisticians from the Texas Lottery Commission, who stated that they expect the MM jackpot (with Texas included) to exceed $100 million four times per year, and the MM jackpot to reach or exceed $400 million every two to four years.

I believe that when the BG changed to MM and the matrix was changed, they put enough wiggle room in to handle the states that came in at that time and a state the size of TX or CA. I remember the scuttlebutt at the time was that it was assumed that the big holdouts (TX, CA) would soon have to explore a multi-state game and that the MM consortium wanted to plan for the future.However, if the matrix is not changed, then expect the combination coverage percentage to rise, leading to smaller, more...

Maybe they wont change the odds...maybe they will just add the multiplier....which would probably help

MM changing already?

Mega Millions already has the longest jackpot odds of any US lottery game. Will Texas joining mean the 10 existing states already having to print new betslips
