The history of huge jackpots isn't extensive enough to tell us very much about rollovers. Probability, OTOH, tells us what's likely with a fair amount of precision, but unlikely things can still happen. If sales are limited to the current advertised jackpot amount the chances of a winner(s) or a rollover are fairly even, probably with a slight preference for a winner. If sales push it to the 380 range that could mean selling about 80% of the possible combinations. That would still mean a 1 in

Good Investment: If you can do it: $355 Million dollar per year in USAReply

Sounds like cross selling and adding a bunch more states selling the game without a matrix change didn't effect the potential size of the jackpots.

$1 or $2 Scratchoffs with $50, $200 "Jackpots": Do you waste your money?
I dont get these scratchoffs I see that give a super low jackpot chance, i.e. Quick 50 or Hit 200 . It absolutely baffles me why anyone would waste there money. Here you have a dollar to spend on a ticket: Do I get the one where I can win fifty bucks, for 10,000 bucks? To me, the key is in the odds: They hardly differ. I am sure in the grand scheme of things I have a better chance of hitting for 50 than 10,000, but if I am going to gamble I would rather truly GAMBLE. But maybe I am missing
