Interesting California MM PayoutsReply
Raven62...don't forget California had to send 31.8% of sales to the jackpot fund. Makes total payout 47.56% of sales.

Illinois Lottery Mega Tripler PromoReply
NY should try something like this with MM. It would further erode NY Lotto sales.

Mega Millions & Tuesday the 18thReply
Sales for these past drawings have been really low compared to previous jackpot rolls. We are some $20,000,000 behind in sales compared to the last jackpot run. If sales stay stagnant like they are we could see a good jackpot run maybe even to the $400 million range. If we stay under $100 million in sales for the next two drawings we will see that threshold finally be broken. Brad

I think Powerball sales are returning to normal for the jackpot level it is at.

California lottery won, MM sales effects?
California MM sales have still been very large during the recent large state lottery run, even though the state lottery's jackpot having remained much larger than the MM jackpots. When California first joined MM, despite having the largest population, NY was usually the largest seller of tickets, but after some time, California began to challenge NY for that distinction. It will be interesting to see how California performs now that its large jackpot has been won and now that MM is the biggest

Probability of a MegaMillions rollover.Reply
The Megamillions jackpot has rolled over and the cash value is now $52.4M. The cash value reached on the last drawing was $45.2M. The annuity value is now $88M, just shy of the $90M annuity record for this number of drawings in a prize building pool. The lottery is apparently predicting 22.6M in sales. If this proves to be correct, the probability of various numbers of winners is given in the following table:087.93%111.31%20.73%30.03%I have updated the data fitted into my exponential modelin
