MM and PB jackpot increases.Reply
MM went up $25M and PB$ 13.7M yet MM is the one that gets criticized for smaller increases. MM is offering a bit more than twice as much money, not counting the larger non-jackpot prizes. M is also putting about twice as much money toward the jackpot for each ticket thanks to the $5 price. Powerball has a lot more regular players who are not addicts. Maybe. Ignoring the current run because initial sales are always bigger than normal after a run that reaches $1 billion or more, the

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Here is further evidence Powerball is still winning the race. ... After 5 Mega Millions draws .. PB has fairly consistently grown faster than MM, including under the $2 per ticket format, because of the 3rd weekly drawing, with short variations when MM has a really big jackpot. The consensus seems to be that Sunday drawing are unlikely, so MM has to work with just the 2 drawings per week. The differences you're comparing are advertised jackpots of 358 vs 20 and 474 vs 145. Over those drawin

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Anyone willing to guess the next increase on the Measly Millions when it rolls over tonight ? According to Jades chart up above, my best guess will be $23M.The TX lottery hasn't posted their projections for the next increase yet. Even with 4 days in between draws, I just don't believe it will do $24M+ for the next draw on 9/16. Could be wrong but the MUSL kids redesigned this toy for minimal increases. Good luck to all that have purchased a ticket for tonights draw.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Powerball is still clearly winning the race with a jackpot of $526 million. The increase was $25 million compared to the latest Mega Millions increase of only $16 million. But the Powerball jackpot is growing relatively slowly. The jackpot has rolled 31 times. The 31 roll record is over twice as large as the current jackpot at $1,066 million.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot is now $326 million. That was a good increase of $24 million - the biggest jackpot increase since the $5 ticket price was introduced. The difference between the Mega Millions jackpot and the Powerball jackpot increased by $8 million. Maybe the game will prove to be a success after all.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot is now $243 million. The increase in the jackpot since the last draw was $20 million whereas Powerball experienced a $14 million increase. It appears certain that Powerball will not overtake Mega Millions until the Mega Millions jackpot is won. Now the wait is on. Will Mega Millions reach $1 billion in this run? Or will it be $2 billion?

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Yes, it's very telling the advertised jackpot increase is only $10 M after 8 rollovers. Do you understand how the game and its financing work? Both PB and MM have always started with artificially high jackpots that aren't fully funded, and never had more than the minimum increase until there's enough cash to fully fund the jackpot. The smaller jackpot of the old format was funded quickly. With the new format the jackpot would remain artificially high for more drawings with exactly the same

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
The cash value is only running at 10% of what it would be when it was at $2.00 a line. What are you failing to say correctly? Both annuity and cash value are lagging behind previous runs, but the cash value, as always, is the percentage of the annuity that it necessary to pay for the annuity. Right now that's about 44.3%. Although the MM jackpot may be lagging behind previous MM runs it's well ahead of PB on a per drawing basis. When the previous MM run was hit on the 21st drawing the adver

This is the largest jackpot increase in this run and is mainly due to an increase in interest rates. Please don't forget my $5 that I put into the increase (because I did not win anything, it counts) Hope I win something on Tuesday
