Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
If it rolls from Saturday, our best estimate puts the PB Jackpot Annuity at $1.03 Billion . I'll be very surprised if it's not bigger than that if it rolls on Saturday. The increase from last Saturday to Monday was $60.9 million, so it would be very unusual if this Saturday to next Monday wasn't bigger. The increase from Monday to Wednesday was $83.4 million, so the increase to Saturday will almost certainly be bigger. Starting from Wednesdays final tally of $860.1 the same increase of

If the Mega Millions jackpot is not won tonight, the jackpot will increase by $18 million to $216 million. This will be the largest jackpot increase since the start of this jackpot run. With sales of around $26 million, there is about a 98% chance the jackpot will roll again. Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot's most recent increase was $34 million.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I don't think it's because of the third drawing in a week. People tend to buy lottery tickets on a per-week basis, not a per-drawing basis. I suspect that many people who were buying multiple tickets for the Wednesday and Saturday drawings stuck with the same weekly expenditure or maybe added one more ticket. A lot of other players were probably the ones that have to have their chance, even if it's only one ticket, so that's a lot of people that started spending 50% more. Whatever the

Any guesses as to the next increase for the Measly Millions, should a rollover happen tomorrow night ? Another $40 Million ?? Another $40M would bring it to $794M. I bet they will go to at least $800M, that is a $46M increase. And that should unfold an even higher increase announced Tuesday night (if jackpot is not hit) for the following Friday (Fridays sales are larger than Tuesdays, so the increase leading to a Friday is significantly larger then the one leading to a Tuesday).

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $37 million to $533 million after 27 rolls. This sets a new 27 roll record for the current format of the game; an increase of $13 million over the previous record. There is an estimated 2.6% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw. The larger than normal boost in the Mega Millions jackpot was due to an increase in interest rates. Sales are not projected to increase for the upcoming draw despite the much smaller Powerball jackpot at

Mega Millions constant $10 million increasesReply
A $2 prize (times whatever multiplier, so $4 to $20) for matching two white balls would add 18% to the value of all non-jackpot prizes in total. That's a lot for such a small win. More accurately a $2 prize for matching 2 white balls would reduce the money that goes to the jackpot by about 14.6%. That would reduce the current cash value of $67.9 million to $58 million. For those who believe the advertising it would reduce the current $150 million annuity to $128 million if they abandoned or

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
Sales are lower. But they are making more money. Do to the price increase. Just one data point, but the first 3 drawings for 400+ had sales of $105 million compared to $117 million for the first 3 drawings for 400 the last time it got there before the price increase. That's just hair under 90%. Looking at PB sales for 3 drawings at 400+ at roughly the same times the more recent run had sales of 88% of the previous sales. Again, that's a limited set of data but it looks like lower MM sal

Did the tax threshold just increase?
I know that the limit for hand pays on casino slots went from 1200$ to 2000$ on January 1st but did the limit on lottery go from 500 to 2000 this year also? I keep getting AI gibberish when I search so I'm not sure.
