Mega Millions and Powerball Race
This is the largest jackpot increase in this run and is mainly due to an increase in interest rates.

The worksheet says the largest increase was $8.9 million on 5/8. Here are the actual increase in (millions of) real dollars that the worksheet says they'll give you when you claim the prize:

Hope I win something on Tuesday
