I've looked for ticket sales data for Millionaire for Life and can't find it. I think it's safe to say that the ticket sales are far less than PB/MM.

Mega Millions 10 Million Increase rollover.Reply
What affects the top line. Annuity amount is interest rates, and sales. Sales of mega millions are down. An interest rates have dropped so the long-term pay payout it's less for every cash dollar invested

About those NC Digital Online Games...What's the verdict?
I asked the search engine about NC digital instant games and what money they take in vs what money they pay out. I asked the question b/c the games seem to just take your money and never give you anything substantial. Below is the response, but I am having trouble believing that they pay out 87% of proceeds. Nonetheless, I do believe the part that says that even though they are taking in more $$ with these games, that they are contributing less to the education system than they did before the di

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The increased sales for Powerball is affecting Mega Millions sales in a positive way. If the $100 million Mega Millions jackpot is not won tonight, the Friday jackpot is projected to be $125 million. This sets a new record for 6 rolls for the current format of the game. The overall 6 roll record is $178 million.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $10 million to $60 million. The supported jackpot is $27.1 million. The probability the jackpot will be won in the next draw is estimated at 1.5%. Sales for the next jackpot is estimated at $22.5 million. This is less than the previous run but more than the run before that. There will probably be several $10 million increases in the jackpot before it is fully funded by sales.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Powerball jackpot increased by $30.3 million to $775 million after 37 rolls. Last time around PB's advertised increase in this range was $65 million, from 750 to 815 (later boosted to 850, for an increase of $100 million). There's a chance this one will also get a boost tomorrow, but no way the boost gets it to 840ish. Some of that difference is due to the interest rate. Based on the cash value that just gave us an annuity of 740 the cash value of last run's 750 annuity would have been

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

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by the minimum $10 million to $140 million. It is estimated the current jackpot is under funded from sales by about $0.3 million. This will be the last minimum $10 million jackpot increase. Going forward, the jackpot will be fully funded by sales. Nonetheless, there is no possibility for the Mega Millions jackpot to catch up to the Powerball jackpot. The Powerball jackpot is clearly winning this race.
