With the adjustment the last rollover was 55 million. Even if it only went up by 60 million the cash option would have been nearly 195 million, which would set a new US record by a margin big enough that PB wouldn't beat it until hitting 415. I'd think it would have gone up by more than 60, but when it hit 315 last November the final rollover was only 53, from 262 to 315. Still, two more rolls after that would prob... [ More ]
