MegaMillion now at 280 millionReply
I predicted a couple of draws ago that this jackpot run would yield a $300 million jackpot, so I'm hoping for a mid-week increase!

At least one regular lottery player is betting he can challenge changes to Lotto 6/49 that take effect this weekend.John W.

Buying more tickets = reduced oddsReply

Interesting Facts re: PB & MegaReply
That tells us that Powerball either needs to reduce the matrix, or increase the lower prizes (maybe match 5 would equal $200K?).
