Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Both jackpots are tied at $189 million. But given the Mega Millions jackpot was $50 million ahead of Powerball near the beginning of this race, Powerball is proving to be the winner. Where Mega Millions will probably shine is longevity. The Powerball jackpot will probably be won well before Mega Millions.

It's all being done for reason. Jackpots in both games will stay close to each other. So people play 5 days a week. Just my opinion though.

New Mega Millions game reports 300% increase in non-jackpot prizes in first monthReply
I'm not overlooking it. While yes it could be and probably will be sometimes, they are selling less tickets with pretty much the same odds so that's the whole point, it is even more likely now that it will be won at a much higher jackpot because they are selling less tickets. More often than not they're going to get their bigger jackpots. People prove over and over they have short memories. What mega millions has done is the most logical for their objectives whether we personally like it or not.

The Mega Millions jackpot is $122 million and went up by over $10 for the first time in this run. That means the jackpot is now full funded by sales. The Powerball jackpot is only $16 million behind. The Powerball jackpot will most likely catch and pass the Mega Millions jackpot. With both jackpots about the same size, the ticket price will be the differentiator on sales. For Mega Millions to beat Powerball to the $1 billion mark, the Powerball jackpot will have to be won.

The 300% increase vs. what those 1.89 million winners would have won under the old prize structure is incorrect. I'm of the opinion that the MM spin doctors failed to consider that 25 % of those winners would have purchased the Megaplier (conservative figure based on similar jackpots as reported by USA Mega) and taken home another $6.6M in winnings based on an average 3x Megaplier. That would give us a realistic increase of closer to 175%.

Mega millions is now $5 per ticket and the record jackpot on Powerball was $2 billion so what could the record jackpot be on New $5 per ticket Mega millions before Christmas 2025 Great question! If **both Mega Millions and Powerball** hit **$1+ billion jackpots simultaneously** and **neither is won** for several draws, we could see an **unprecedented jackpot surge** possibly pushing Mega Millions toward **$5 billion** before Christmas 2025.

Your nerve racking too. Apparently you and him can't read. Where did I type capping sales I said capping so the powerball can not exceed mega millions in jackpots. If they where capping sales it would be all over the news.

Conspiracy theory!Reply
sO wHAt! Dur dur dur..... you have stores selling winning tickets in close proximity to each other. And there's probably millions of retailers that sell tickets. These are high jackpots. I said i was going down a rabbit hole. No need to be a bootlicker.

Two "Blessed" Illinois lottery winners claim $349 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
I think what the folks at MM are watching the most is what happens when these huge jackpots show up. That is when they make most of their money, anyways, so all the complaining we are doing now when the JP is not huge is just noise to them.
