Powerball & Megamillions GrowingReply
OMG, again with the cap talk. People, the PowerBall isn't capped at $390M. If it rolls to $375M, there will be a cap of $400M. You people need to look at the INCREASE cap. Also, I think some of you are becoming obsessed with the cash value argument. It's already been discussed that PowerBall and Mega Millions each have their advantages. There's nothing wrong with someone taking the annuity option. You people need to be less comparative with these 2 games. They're not run by the same organization

How Lottery Numbers Work?Reply
imthelush...the answer to your question depends greatly upon which game is being played. Mega Millions, Powerball and CA Super Lotto Plus are variations of a Pick 6 game. They are 5/1 games, i.e. you pick a total of six numbers. For the 5/1 games you need to pick 5 numbers from a pool of numbers (56 for Mega Millions) and then 1 number from another pool of numbers (46 for Mega Millions). For these games it does not matter what order the first set of 5 numbers are drawn, just that you ma

Record Jackpot - $448 Million
