5m bump in Mega Millions?Reply
I think they should do a 40 year backload annuity with a baloon payment at the end. See how many morons can't tell the difference. I'm not holding my breath on this one breaking 300 million. I have a feeling the time to buy would be now or the next two drawings tops. It seems cursed not to generate high prizes. Euromillions only needs 12 rolls to get to the record. It's prize is all cash.

Sorry but most folks need to see that MegaMillions gives out far more cash fund then PB. Someday ppl will do the math and see which game is more giving. It was pleasing to see the Mega increase! Thank you PB for at least doing that for the real lottery game! The MUSL justifies its back loaded annuity on its FAQ page: ___

Mega Millions Sets A New RecordReply
Despite the desire to see another record hit, I'd really be plum tickled with collecting the winnings this time around. Sorta hitting a cycle of bad luck and sure could use this boost of hope. I'm slightly jade with hearing stories of these first time players who win after going to their local 7-11 to pick up a loaf of bread and milk or fill their tanks up.

Michigan Hopeful, I just let you know that's a new MM record in terms of the current roll according to Jake649. Strong sales and California effect made this happen. Good luck to you in playing MM.

$365 MILLION: PowerballReply
RJOh, I agree. Also, I hope PB can set new roll record down the line because CA SLP had 20 rolls once from 11/12/05 to 1/21/06. and PB currently has 18 straight rolls.

Something about "1/2-a-B".....
The proximity to a hit THIS SATURDAY is best measured by the number of 2nd prize winners in prior draws. 10-15-05 had 21 2nd prize hits suggesting EXACTLY 50% of the possible powerballs (out of 42) were chosen. The very next draw (a new record pot) had 49 2nd prize hits suggesting ALL 42 powerballs (some repeating) were chosen. The SLEW of 2nd prizes wins approaching Saturday's draw this time around is actually SLOWER than last fall. Except for the fact this is a new record PB pot with the u

Powerball Sets A New RecordReply
Jake649, if no one wins PB Jackpot, it will only roll 25 million more at a time, but it will increase the Match 5 bonus pool if no winner comes out. I hope PB sets a new roll record just like CA SLP had rolled 20 times from November 12, 2005 to January 21, 2006.

$365 MILLION: PowerballReply
Congratulations Todd on your 2+1 win. What numbers did you match? I'm happy that the new North American jackpot record has been established. It's strange that only 16 tickets match the first 5 numbers. I was expecting about 30+.
