Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The increased sales for Powerball is affecting Mega Millions sales in a positive way. If the $100 million Mega Millions jackpot is not won tonight, the Friday jackpot is projected to be $125 million. This sets a new record for 6 rolls for the current format of the game. The overall 6 roll record is $178 million.

The Mega Millions jackpot increased by $10 million to $60 million. The supported jackpot is $27.1 million. The probability the jackpot will be won in the next draw is estimated at 1.5%. Sales for the next jackpot is estimated at $22.5 million. This is less than the previous run but more than the run before that. There will probably be several $10 million increases in the jackpot before it is fully funded by sales.

The Powerball jackpot increased by $30.3 million to $775 million after 37 rolls. Last time around PB's advertised increase in this range was $65 million, from 750 to 815 (later boosted to 850, for an increase of $100 million). There's a chance this one will also get a boost tomorrow, but no way the boost gets it to 840ish. Some of that difference is due to the interest rate. Based on the cash value that just gave us an annuity of 740 the cash value of last run's 750 annuity would have been

Here is further evidence Powerball is still winning the race. ... After 5 Mega Millions draws .. PB has fairly consistently grown faster than MM, including under the $2 per ticket format, because of the 3rd weekly drawing, with short variations when MM has a really big jackpot. The consensus seems to be that Sunday drawing are unlikely, so MM has to work with just the 2 drawings per week. The differences you're comparing are advertised jackpots of 358 vs 20 and 474 vs 145. Over those drawin

The Mega Millions jackpot increased by the minimum $10 million to $140 million. It is estimated the current jackpot is under funded from sales by about $0.3 million. This will be the last minimum $10 million jackpot increase. Going forward, the jackpot will be fully funded by sales. Nonetheless, there is no possibility for the Mega Millions jackpot to catch up to the Powerball jackpot. The Powerball jackpot is clearly winning this race.

A small percentage of sales is set aside to support the possibility of a jackpot being won before it is fully supported by sales. It balances out in the end.

Looks to me like we'll have the minimum rollovers through 130 and then probably a hair better than 140, followed by 156ish for drawing # 11. Last time around they advertised 154 for drawing # 10, so this time it's running about 1 drawing behind the last run. But wait, there's more. Interest rates are up a bit, so the cash values are a bit farther behind. The last time around the advertised $154 million annuity was worth $69 million. Based on the current rates for Tuesday's drawing a $154 mil
