Hopefully you saw the last sentence in the reply to you: Mega Millions doesn't have this.

The answer may have been confusing because you asked, Does MM have a cap? and the first word was Yes in the reply.

Mega Millions does NOT have a cap on jackpot increases. Only Powerball has such a cap.

Yes, it's actually called the Match 5 Bonus prize. Here's a description of it from the PowerBall website:

Match 5 Bonus Prize

Whenever the Powerball jackpot reaches a record level, the amount of the jackpot prize is limited to increases for each draw of no more than $25 million. The prize money collected in excess of the maximum $25 million increase, will be placed into the Match 5 Bonus prize pool and will accumulate until there is a jackpot winner. When there is a jackpot winner, the Ma... [ More ]

Does anyone know if there is a cap on MM jackpots? I had heard that either Powerball or MM had a cap in which other prizes would substantially grow in value should the cap limit be reached.

Actually the drawing for Friday Mega Millions Jackpot will be $400+ million dollars. The last huge MM went from $270m to $390m on the day following to the drawing date.

I predict this Friday MM Jackpot to be $400+ million dollars and I'm so happy because I'm going to win it ; ) My parents can finally retire from their crummy job :) and enjoy a good easy life.

It will be at $350M by Friday night, and if no one wins, it will go to $450M. Watch.

It went up 75 mil since the last time. If it rolls, it will surely be the 1st to cross the 400 million dollar mark. I don't think it will though...I'm hoping to win this one

I have been having dreams where the lotto jackpot was $622 million dollars. Perhaps it is a sign of things to come. If it rolls over it would be about $415million, then roll over to about 515 million and then somehow go norrht of $600million. what would the net cash value of that be? First thing I would do is buy the Suze Orman kit so I can create a trust myself!

who wants to come to my world of lotto extravaganza

It will crack the $400,000,000 mark, it will surpass the mark set earlier by MM in March.

The last drawing was not adjusted upwards. Sales must be down. The good side to that is that it might actually roll one more time and then it would really be the biggest pot ever offered. It would have to be adjusted to $330 to get $200 million in cash.

$325 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery nears record high

Lottery Post — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 12:48:49 GMT

Last night Mega Millions became the second United States lottery game in less than a week to cross the $300 million jackpot level.

On Saturday one single ticket from Indiana scored a $314 million Powerball win, and now the lottery-playing public will get another shot at an even bigger prize.

Because none of the tickets sold for Tuesday's $250 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball, the jackpot in the multi-state Mega Millions lottery game grew to $325 million for... [ More ]
