Probability of a rollover in PB and MMReply
Owing to the last megamillions rollover, the annuity jackpot has increased from 26 million to 33 million and the cash value has increased from 14.5 million to 18.5 million, a cash value increase of 4.0 million dollars. This suggests that Megamillions is anticipating 12.6 million in sales. The probability of the Megamillion jackpot rolling over on 4/25/04 is 91.1%; the probability of one winner is 8.5%; of two winners, 0.4% and of three winners, 0.01%.Good luck.

Within a few months they all will get on the increase price band wagon.It's coming and sooner than most people expect.Chas

Are these winning systems real?Reply
I'm not against systems. In fact, I am all for people who try different methods to see if there's anything that can increase your odds. I've tried a few things myself.However I'm strongly against people who scam others by saying their system is guaranteed or automatic .

PB sets a new recordReply
The Powerball lottery set a new record.The Powerball lottery set a new 2-roll record for the May 19 draw with its $24.2 million jackpot. The previous 2-roll record was $22.6 million set on Jan 4, 2003. The $1.6 million increase indicates that a new record will be set for each roll until it is won.The Mega Millions 2-roll record is $20 million.Good luck,Jake

PB sets a new recordReply
I wonder what caused the increase? Is it cause TN joined recently or because there were alot of rollover ticket winners from the big one?

Buying more tickets = reduced oddsReply
ayenowitallPlaying random selections will usually give you a return in accordance with the advertised odds. This means as you increase the number of tickets purchased over all the draws your chances of getting the higher prizes kicks in.So playing BobP's 164 Lines over 500 Draws in a 6/49 Lotto with a random selection of 28 tickets per draw the expected return is 15%; playing 164 the expected return is 18% because a 5 is expected. For Wisconsin he beat the odds and got 3 fives up giving a return
