$1.8 billion Powerball jackpot to be split by two tickets sold in Missouri and TexasReply
This is interesting.... It will be 30 more draws on MM before Christmas 2025... (Right now it is at 19 draws with est. $358M) Now I am curious to see how many draws it will take for a new record.

$1.8 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now second-largest ever as ticket sales surge across the USAReply
I thought maybe 1.85 bil but you know the lotto bigwigs don't want to be criticized for stoking the flames of lottomania. Frankly I feel it would be nice to win it a dollar short of Edwin Castro record. Let him have all the attention ie headaches. He can have his filet mignon and I'll have my Salisbury steak .....

$1.7 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
Thank you for that wealth of information! We have had tons of $2, $4, or $10 ticket winners over the many years and only won $50 3 times but never $100 under the old matrix and when the tickets were $1 rather Powerball or mega. Through out the years we started winning bunch of $4'ticket prizes or sometimes several $7 ticket prizes but never ever crossed pass $50. As far the return rate I appreciate you breaking that down but never ever got close to any $50k return rate so that should tell you so

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
There's that increase to 1.4! I agree I think it's going to end up between 1.45 and 1.5 tonight. Saturday is projected at 1.7 but I'll be surprised if it's not between 1.8 and 1.9 My thinking is the out of ordinary factor is when people are nervous about the economy, lottery sales increase, we also haven't had a jackpot over 1B for awhile so there isn't the burn out. And personally I'm putting money I would have spent on mega into PB instead so a lot of other people probably are too. Me

Thank you for catching my mistake. June 27th was 49 days ago, not 79 as I said. I made an error copying out (and then double pasting) the data into the file where I track that workup, which caused me to double-count 30 extra days between. My bad! Thanks again! P.S. 49 days is still the record...

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $16 million to $166 million. This is the first time in this run the jackpot increased more than the minimum. This means the jackpot is fully funded from sales and the jackpot increases should continue to be fairly large. But the jackpot increases will probably not be VERY large until the Powerball jackpot is won. The Powerball jackpot is currently almost three times larger at $449 million. The Mega Millions jackpot reached $166 million after 11 rolls. I

Hey Casssie OR Anyone who can answer this question for me!! If you look at the winners gallery on the NC lottery page https://nclottery.com/WinnersPick4 You see they list the place where ticket was purchased and I am guessing anything won over $5000.0 is public record and posted here. My question is do they not post online win there? I scrolled through and did not see any that listed digital online. Likewise, that Tremayne Davis got a BIG payday!!

New Mega Millions game reports 300% increase in non-jackpot prizes in first monthReply
I might be wrong, but I think that is a crock of information. They reduced the odds a bit and the tickets now cost 2.5 times as much as they used to. Or maybe 2.3 times as much is more accurate, since there were always some players that took the $3/ticket option and bought the megaplier. Based on that, the only thing that seems odds is having an increase in payouts fairly close to the increase in price/odds when they're only selling about 60% as many tickets. Mega Millions says the jack
