you misunderstood me. Don't worry about it, you're not the first one.
The original "estimated" jackpot amount for the last drawing was 200 million dollars. After the winners were announced, the amount they actually won was 207 million dollars. The original "estimated" cash amount was 101.1 million dollars. If the annuity amount changed, then the cash amount changed. But I can never find that information out anywhere. Except the last time I got it from FJA! I would assume that the change in the annuity amount is because they sold more tickets than they expected. If that's the case, the cash amount will still be the same percentage of the annuity value. 101.1/200=50.55%. .5055*207 million is 104.64 million.

Let it snow! Let it snow!
Happy New Year Everyone!
(It's my favorite time of the year now.)
