I am interested in knowing if the Powerball rolls over 100 million into the next two rolls couldn't MUSL set the jackpot at say 350+ mill if the jackpot hadn't reach the record before they start the match 5 bonus and go to the 25 mill raises.

I doubt that will happen. Once it exceeds the previous record. It will then be capped at $25 Mil per roll and the Match 5 bonus will be in play. It'd probably have to rollover 2 more times to break the previous record. Putting it around $330 Mil and then each roll after that would be $25 Mil. So it would take approximately 6 more rolls. I just don't think it will happen. But I hope it does

Millions of dollars are won on low tier prizes, much of which is used to buy more tickets on the next draw.
