$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
It's going to go to a minimum of $2 Billion. They need to build up the Jackpot frenzy in order to increase MM sales. Then they will do again for the holidays.

I don't think the jackpot estimate will increase before the drawing. I expect the Labor Day holiday to slow down sales as many people travel. If it rolls tonight then expect a buying frenzy to continue Wednesday.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I'm sure the jackpot frenzy will adjust it a bit but it will be interesting to see how it plays out! I'm pretty sure that even the people at PB aren't all that sure exactly how things could go. Right now they're forecasting a $100 million increase, but since last night finished at 1.03 billion that means their first estimate for Monday is really 1.13. Those Friday worksheets are created about a day and a half before the drawing, but if they ever announced the next jackpot with different num

The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $25 million to $302 million after 18 rolls. This is the largest jackpot increase since the launch of the revised Mega Millions game. The previous record high was $24 million.

is anyone going to bother with Mega Millions tonight? Even without PB being a bit more than 3 times as big MM is still well shy of my entry point, given the price and odds. I'm thinking some time in October is when I'll get in the game, assuming it's still rolling (and it probably will be). Under the prior ticket pricing structure I would have purchased my usual 1 ticket per drawing. Sorry to tell you but: They. Don't. Care. No tickets for me under any circumstances but am cu

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
The 5% annual increase in payments makes the lump sum even less than it would be with constant annual payments. It pushes more money further into the future to be discounted for interest a longer time.

MM jackpot increases
After ten MM jackpot increases of $10 million dollars the jackpot went from$150 million to $166 million to $182 million dollars, another $16 million dollar increase, so if it's not won on Tuesday will it go to $198 million?

Lottery sales for the big national games are down. This is probably the main reason the Mega Millions game was recently changed. Even on my worst days I'm not nearly stupid enough to think they wouldn't have tried messing with the game even if sales were still what they were 3 to 5 years ago, but the change was definitely an attempt to increase sales. So far the sales per drawing have been consistently higher than shortly before the change for the jackpots values we've seen, and sales f

Looks like there is greed on both ends of mega millions, the pots are not rising like they said they would. Charging $5.00 a draw will probably keep the new change going a while. You took some of the excitement away with the price increase pricing a lot of people out of course you knew that.
