$1.55 BILLION: Biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever to be drawn TuesdayReply
I am honestly surprised how low sales have been once it got to a Billion. A 30 million bump was just a rounding error when the pots first started getting to a billion.

$1.55 BILLION: Biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever to be drawn TuesdayReply
Ticket sales for Powerball and Mega Millions were slowing prior to the pandemic. The pandemic gave them an excuse to lower the starting amount to $20 mill. And, they no longer have to guarantee a minimum bump between draws. Prior to the pandemic it was $5 mill for Mega, and $10 mill for Powerball. Now that they've made the change, they aren't able to change it back unless all states that participate in the MUSL also agree to the change.

$1.55 BILLION: Biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever to be drawn TuesdayReply
Maybe after sales calculation it will be number two. But honestly i think it will roll. Not enough sale through is happening. According to the estimate from TX there is only a 40% coverage. It could still hit, you never know.

$820 MILLION: Massive Mega Millions drawing set for TuesdayReply
No the cash option is based on actual ticket sales, and the annuity is affected by interest rates. However, it is my understanding that after the previous drawing, the interest rates fluctuating would not affect the next jackpot, because the rate is locked in at that point.

I believe it is not the state's job to hunt down lottery winners. If a person takes the time and money to buy a ticket, it shouldn't be that hard to go online and check the ticket. Only takes a minute and a couple of clicks. Can't speak for all states, but Tx Lottery does not keep unclaimed money. Unclaimed prizes revert back to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature, including the Foundation School Fund and Fund for Veterans' Assistance , which are the primary benefi
