$415 MILLION: 3rd-largest Mega Millions jackpot everReply
No. Occasional players rely on the news and other media to know when the jackpots get big enough for them to jump in and the jackpots aren't getting 2 seconds of coverage anywhere.

Could "can't win" ever become this strong?Reply
Your story is feeling really really realistic right now. Both jackpots are increasing slowly despite both being massive amounts. We might have 2 preliminary jackpots on the 25 highest annuity/cash jackpot lists soon if neither hits.

Why are American lotteries rigged?Reply
Its making more sense to play less numbers then again normally lotteries like that have smaller jackpots as I am sure their winning frequency is also greater. Still it make no business sense for lotteries to let a jackpot go if they have not made their profit...irrespective the odds of the lottery(my view). What amazes me is too see lotteries like Aus having 3 jackpots in a month.Here we normally see a jackpot go after 1 -2 months.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Jasefan - Nice $25 win on the $1 Lots of Bucks! Getting those types of wins on $1 tickets feels amazing. That sucks that the Holiday tickets held out on you. My experience has been that books either contain alot of symbols, or no symbols at all. The books that have no symbols tend to have lower payout rates. That was my first time seeing the Win $100 symbol bell, and I've probably played close to 1,000 $10 Holiday Gifts tickets. Maybe more. I have an embarrassingly large pile of duds. Zzplay

$310 MILLION: largest Mega Millions jackpot in 19 monthsReply
The jackpots also suck when compared to the American jackpots. The top lottery prize in Austrailian history is 112 million Austrailan dollars, split 4 ways. I'd rather get taxed silly and still walk away with a lot of money.

Wyoming Lottery expansion faces hurdles despite state money woesReply
Keep the Mega Millions and Power Ball jackpots recording record jackpots and then this will help Wyoming. Here's to our Veterans on Memorial Day 2016!

Oh boy here we go again with powerballReply
With the way jackpots grow on this game right now, ain't nothin' gonna change. And it doesn't need to change. Big jackpots sell tics.

No $50K bonus for Washington retailer who sold winning lottery ticketReply
I can tell you in texas they earn 5 cents for every dollar in commission and up to 1% with a cap of 1 million on the national and state jackpots. No commissions on instant jackpots unless they are $1 million or more. Pretty sure if that changes they can kiss it good bye.

Jury: Lottery winner must pay ex-boyfriend part of winningsReply
California also has this same type of law, so for the past 10 years, when someone says, Hey,if you win you'er gonna split it with me right, I always say NO. and I say No to everyone, just so it gets out there, oh yeah, he always says No, they can call me greedy or whatever, I have won small jackpots and people know my position. Also, I dont tell anyone except my wife when I win small jackpots, found out the hard way, money makes people go crazy. I wish you all good luck in the lottery.

Record $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot won by 3 ticketsReply
Good, this nonsense is all over and things can return to normal. I really think the last few large jackpots have really desensitized people. Even though this was $1.5 billion, the reaction today from people seems to be pretty muted. Everyone seems to be moving on and not that many people seem to be that interested in who won, not like it was in the past when these monster jackpots first started.
