That took over an hour to organize and collect the money weekly. Never mind trying to extract 10.00 from 80

NY has been showing the final amount on the results page, and Monday's jackpot is reported as $776.7 million. That's a jump of $60.9 million over the previous drawing and Mondays have the worst increases, typically being less than the previous Wednesday to Saturday increase.

In this case it looks like you used the $498.4 million cash value for the originally announced $1.1 billion jackpot. The actual cash value at drawing time was about $46 million higher, so they needed almost 70 million fewer ticket
