Probability of a rollover in PB and MMReply
Zeno: You are looking at the annuity value when you assume 60%. The 32% figure is the amount of actual cash going to the prize.Megamillions has been over $300 million before. In fact the record MegaMillion Jackpot was $363 million. It reached this figure before the odds were changed and lengthened!

The ODDS dictate that someone will HIT a jackpot if the odds are 22 million to 1, if 22 million tickets are sold then there's going to be a WINNER.Actually, that's not really correct. If the odds of winning are 1 in 22 million and 22 million tickets are sold, then the probability of there being no winner is approximately (1/e) or about 0.3679. So, about a 36.8% chance of there being no winner.

I am new here but have INTERESTING newsReply
That's a high odds game for Pick-5, they aren't doing you any favor offering that game. If there aren't any games available with better odds, then you are stuck playing a high odds game. Consider using a five by five grid, put 25 numbers on the grid half from numbers that are being drawn, and half from numbers that haven't been drawn yet or are out the longest since their last draw. Play the lines that form down, across and criss cross. Enter these numbers in a scattered way, don't use numar
