great link. I guess the news was just spouting bull again. Or maybe I heard wrong. Surprising how much $ Texas added in. I'll bet the Texas Pick-6 will croak.

you can check sales per state for mm by going here: http://www.lottoreport.com/mm03sales.htmbut some states are more cooperative than others. i would hope that texas would generate larger pots. it would be nice to see mega break 200 million finally but i'll wait and see.

I heard on the news that Texas had approximately $700,000 in MM sales for the first draw.

In my area many of the lottery retailers don't regularly update the displayed jackpot amounts so many casual players only play when they see a line for tickets or see a TV story about lottery fever and sometimes those stories are about the PowerBall which is played in the adjacent states. These retailers consider selling lottery tickets a convenience like selling milk and bread, something that is necessary to bring in customers. RJOh

The jackpot levels are based on estimated sales. It appears they estimated a little high for the first draw that included Texas with an $11 million increase. The next draw was estimated lower with a $10 million increase. And a further lower estimate was made for the next draw with a $7 million increase. Eventually sales caught up with their estimates.Texas players will dventualy catch on to the new lottery. If the current jackpot sequence approaches $200, Texas players will catch on very quick...

TX joined for the 12-5-03 drawing.dates then jkpt amounts:12-2.......33mil12-5........44m12-9...........54m12-12..........61m12-16..........71mlooks like 10-11 million per draw. I think increases are based on actual lottery sales.

Does anyone know the average increase in the MM jackpot now that Texas is added? I'm curious how much more it's gone up.
