Its not the economy its gambling choices. People have more options how to gamble now and most people dont play until the pot breaks a set amount say 100 or 200 million. News coverage of large pots is also low unless the pot breaks 300. Lottery sales are mostly flat for games like megamillions and powerball and as they add states without changing the game the pot gets smaller and smaller. I really dont think either game is led by people with enough intelligence to change the game to make larger p... [ More ]

I dont think that it will hit the $300 Million mark any time soon. Or, at least not until the economy gets better. I think that people tend to buy more lottery tickets when they are going through rough times, rather than when times are good. Even though the odds dont get better when the number of people who buy tickets goes up, the chances do. So, my prediction is, we wont see a $300 Million Powerball jackpot until 2006 at the earliest.Kansas Gambler

i think that with each game adding more states, it will get harder and harder for the jackpots to get over $300 million without the matricies being changed. nowadays, whenever the jackpot gets over $200 million, everyone plays. personally, i think powerball and mega millions should accomidate inflation and offer starting jackpots of $20 million. that way, the people will think that $20 or 30 million is nothing, and wait to play. that way, the jackpot will be able to get higher and higher, and pe...

dventually, inflation will make getting to $300 million easier.

Last year, on July 9th we reached $261 Million Powerball Jackpot level and again on October 25 and December 31 we reached $190 and $210 Million, respectively. Just recently, on May 8 and October 9th of this year we all saw the $212 and $215 Million levels ...so at some point in the not too distant future, despite the heavy resistance, we are going to get lucky with that extra one critical rollover and hit over $300 million again. Isn't another $314.9 Million overdue? It happened prior to Christ... [ More ]
