The odds of both neither, just one.Reply
I'm enjoying the two big jackpots, MM and PB being out of phase with one another. I hope PB goes a few more draws in her, to give MM time to get back up a little.

Probability of a MegaMillions rollover.Reply
The MM jackpot has been won. The cash prize is reset to $7.2M and the advertised annuity is $12M. Average 1st draws produce 15.2M in sales. Selling an average number of tickets would result in the following distribution for the probability of various numbers of winners: 091.72% 17.93% 20.34% 30.01% Here is the long term probability, which ignores minimums, focusing on models generated from sales figures and what sales actually contribute to jackpots: Hi

Probability of a Rollover in Powerball.Reply
The Powerball jackpot has rolled over. The cash jackpot is now $36M. The advertised annuity is now $74M. Eighth round jackpots sell on average, 18.6M tickets. If this is the number of tickets that sell on this drawing the randomized probability of a rollover will be as follows: 088.02% 111.23% 20.72% 30.03% Note that the last time, in error, I posted the long term probability starting from an eighth draw and not a seventh. Thus the correct long term model
