Mega Millions - where next?Reply
It's not exactly user friendly, but the lottoreport . com website lists megaplier sales by state. You can compare that to regular MM sales for the same state, or if you're ambitious you could add up the total megaplier sales for all states and compare that to total MM sales.

Nationwide, MM is about 25% of total sales, but there's a wide variation from state to state. Without

$450 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears recordReply
The chances of it rolling once again i guess would depend on the amount of tickets sold for the drawing. The last drawing tickets sales totaled about 146 mill so that would be about 73 mill combinations played. Since the odds are around 175 mill to 1 then if i am figuring this right that would come out to about 42% of the combinations were played. I am sure ticket sales will be higher for this coming drawing. If ticket sales for this drawing were say 250 mill that would be 125 mill combinations

$195 MILLION: Mega Millions keeps the good times rollingReply

The record MM jackpot that was set March 30 2012 after 15 rollovers was advertising a 241 JP with the cash option being 171 million. The current JP after 15 rollovers is advertising a 216 JP. Does not look that big of a difference but the cash option is 120 mill which is 51 mill less then the one from 2011. Ticket sales in 2011 at that point were 458 million and
