New Mega Millions game reports 300% increase in non-jackpot prizes in first monthReply
l perfectly understands the $10 million increase at Moment but you need to understand something else increase is based on current sales so tomorrow increases is not going to be like today's increase matter of fact this could be minimum increase so you haven't even seen a record increase. Life is based on Data. My point is it will take till December 2025 to begin to see the full six month Data. And have made my Calculations and we will see a $4 billion Jackpot or $5 billion Jackpot by Christmas 2

Bill could increase lottery prize payouts to Pennsylvania playersReply
They say they are going to increase payouts, but actually they increase the cost. We've heard this before they increased the prize of the mega and Powerball but also increasing the ball field size and the ticket cost. I was reading this waiting to hear the 3 digit prize will increase from $500 to $600, but that's not what they had in mind.

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
I can't imagine that the actual increase for Wednesday won't be something bigger than the increase for Monday, and simply matching it would result in a final total of 1.745B. Last week sales for Wednesday were about 37% higher than sales for Monday jackpot, and the same 37% increase this time around would add about 73 million, so 1.815ish seems like a fairly safe bet. Now that they had about that same increase I'm even more surprised that we never saw a bump yesterday. I think they really m

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
PB will claim they set a new record if the annuity is more than the current $2.04 billion record, but to beat the $997.6 million cash value of that jackpot the annuity needs to be 2.17B, assuming the interest rate doesn't change. The PB worksheet posted on Monday afternoon suggests that a rollover on Wednesday will give us a Saturday jackpot of about $2.11 billion, but I'm not sure the people behind that estimate really have a better idea than anyone else. They came up over $60 million short on

Worse, the jackpot creeps up by $10 million a draw. We'll get to $1 billion by 2026 at this rate. MM may have to go back to the $2 dollar rate if it takes that long to reach a billion. Don't hold your breath. The lottery only cares how much revenue they can generate, and the higher price has basically offset the lower sales. Even if the usual revenue is down a bit they won't care, because they're looking for the revenue that results from the big jackpots. It sounds like we've got some

They should have done some polling to see how a price increase would go over with the players. Plus making bold claims before the price increase came about didn't help either. The old format produced jackpots of over 1 billion dollars twice a year plus many secondary prizes of 1 or 2 million. Hopefully things will change .
