The battle of the big jackpotsReply
I doubt that will happen. Once it exceeds the previous record. It will then be capped at $25 Mil per roll and the Match 5 bonus will be in play. It'd probably have to rollover 2 more times to break the previous record. Putting it around $330 Mil and then each roll after that would be $25 Mil. So it would take approximately 6 more rolls. I just don't think it will happen. But I hope it does!
