As near as I can tell, the odds against winning the jackpot in this game are about 272,277,720 to 1. Those are pretty formidable odds. And I thought PowerBall was a tough game! I'd say the jackpot moves up so slowly because they only draw once a week except on the Super Saturdays when they hold two drawings and award some merchandise prizes. The public is probably also fairly discouraged by the long odds of the game. It would seem a little hard to build much momentum and excitement around such... [ More ]

I have played mega millions online and powerball online when they reach over 100 million. I figure what the H*LL. But I am counting down the days until I get back to the States.

I think that is why it goes up so slowly every week because of the small amount of people playing it.

Just curious,I am currently here in the Netherlands. I have been playing their lotto since Feb. 04 every Sat. It is about 14.5 mil Euro right now. It takes matching the first 6 number balls and the one color ball to win the jackpot. It moves up very slowly. At this rate it seem as though their lotto will go once a year! Do you all think this lotto is rigged? Also, what do you think accounts for the slow rise in the jackpot every week? For this country to have the oldest lotto in the world it sur... [ More ]
