Did you know? New BONUS for missing a record Powerball jackpot by only the powerball.
I saw this on the Powerball website today and it's the first I've seen of it. It's a new rule that basically says that the Powerball jackpot can't increase by more than $25 million each draw once it hits record levels, so if the powerball jackpot does that, the extra prize money will go into a poll that will be split by all the 5 white ball winners on the day the jackpot is won. So, it's like, CRAP, the record jackpot got won today. I know I won my $200,000, but I chose the wrong Powerball. O

$170 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot raisedReply
The current record is $390 million for the annuity, which worked out to about $233 million in cash. If it rolls until Christmas, figuring a bit conservatively I'd imagine something along these lines: 170 200 235 275 325 on 12/23 Right now the cash value is nearly 69% of the annuity value, and that's been creeping up with each new drawing. Since they only advertise the annuity value MM couldn't claim a new record, but assuming the cash value reaches an even 70% it would beat the

Lotteries long for 'jackpot fever'Reply
If the jackpots don't get quite as high it's because MORE STATES ARE PLAYING and PEOPLE ARE WINNING JACKPOTS MORE OFTEN. That isn't how it works. How often the jackpots are won is and always will be a function of the odds, but probability is only a trend and there will be variations on both sides of the norm. The more people play the more money goes into the prize pool and the higher the jackpots get. More people playing means more winners, but it also means more money for prizes at the s

But winning on a regular basis is process that can't be rushed. The majority will quit before they see progress because it isn't coming fast enough for them. Don't b
