Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I just noticed there is a change in plans for our pool. The pool bought both Mega Millions and Powerball tickets this time. Mega Millions for Friday and Powerball for Saturday. That would really be something if the pool won both games on the same weekend. There would be one heck of an investigation. The Mega Millions tickets had one 5 times multiplier and one 4 times multiplier. No multiplier option selected for the Powerball tickets.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot has increased by $25 million to $650 million after 32 consecutive rolls and is the largest Mega Millions jackpot since December 2024. There is a 3.2% chance the jackpot will be won in the October 21 draw with projected sales of $48 million. Even though there is an expected up tick in sales, the annuity factor decreased, offsetting the sales increase.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Back in March of this year, the Powerball jackpot was $527 million while the Mega Millions jackpot was only $29 million. The Powerball jackpot was over 18 times larger than Mega Millions. Sales for Mega Millions were not zero. In fact, they were large enough for the jackpot to increase to $43 million in the next draw. The point is, regardless of the ticket price or jackpot size, players like buying tickets for both games.

The Mega Millions jackpot is now $223 million. It is well ahead of the Powerball jackpot since Powerball was just won recently. But the Mega Millions jackpot is not growing as fast as it has on occasion in the past. The current jackpot increased by $21 million. Back in April 20, 2024, when the Mega Millions jackpot was also $202 million, it grew by $26 million to $228 million. Also, last year the jackpot reached $202 million after only 7 rolls. This time it took 12 rolls to reach $202 million.

I feel the comparison is relevant. Powerball was ahead when it had 3 draws per week and Mega Millions tickets were $2. But now that Mega Millions tickets are $5, Mega Millions appears to be ahead. But it is still too early to declare the definite winner in the race for the fastest growing jackpots.
