458, nobody wins, and the rollover only moves it up one notch on the list of biggest advertised jackpots. The two MM jackpots that were bigger rolled from just 363 and 400.

VIP3772, You are correct for Friday's MM jackpot. It is $502,000,000.00

The Cash Value is $301,000,000.00

These jackpots are the ones we dream of winning

Same buddy I plan to buy my first ticket on Friday. I was playing the PW since it was like 150M somewhere around Feb 1st. I think I got one ticket each draw until the night it was won. To be honest im super surprised that the PW was won again 7 days later. I can't remember the last time something like that happened lol. I pray you all win something - PPM

If no one wins the jackpot tonight, the jackpot for Friday night is estimated to be $502 million

Good luck to all

. It almost seems sometimes that they cancel each other out. One will climb fast and the other crawls up there. That is what I mean.

The good news is that there's almost a 90% chance that it will roll. Just the same $37 million bump we got this time around would put it at 495, so it's got to be 500+ if it rolls.

The bad news is that based on the dismal growth of the last PB run even 500 may not be enough to trigger the massive sales that will give us a jump of 75 to 100 million. I'm thinking we might not see more than 525.

Now that we can afford to play after our win on the MN Gopher 5, we're in it for a few lines.

Jack my Pot.

l too hope that some, if not all of these winners are still alive, wise, wealthier most of all, healthier. it s been said that most lottery winners are broke within 10 years, let s hope these guys are not in that category. The culprit is called Sudden Wealth Syndrome - you were never around money before, and then suddenly you the caretaker of millions of dollars. What to do with all of this wealth, what to buy, if not smart enough,you head to the edge, the edge of despair ultimately ruin. I hope... [ More ]

The #25 Annuity to be squeezed out will be PB: $365 million, Feb 18, 2006 - Nebraska.

There is a video on Amazon titled, LUCKY, that mentioned the eight winners who worked at a meat processing plant in Lincoln, Nebraska. I hope that all eight are healthy, wealthy, and still wise. Each winner got $15.5 million after taxes.

Also profiled on LUCKY are James Gatzke, Robert Uomini, William Bud Post, Verna Waters and Quang V. Dao.

I already lost $15.00 trying to win Mega Millions. I'll wait until it reaches $500 million to play again.

Hmm, maybe I can reinvest my Publisher's Clearing House check of 10$ in MM tickets. Let it ride

Redd55 - I loved watching Liza Minnelli back in the day. Thank you for posting that. :)

It's rather poetic that MM will be the game to push the last BigGame win out of the top 25. Love seeing that! I wonder how long it will be until the top 25 are all over 500M (well ok, that would be at least another 13 or so wins... but I mean time-wise

So, last night the Mrs asks me. The jackpot is 300 mil to 1 right? I say yeah, so? She says, given the US population is over 300 mil, it would be similar to playing out of SFO to the East Coast at night. Having the winning ticket or 2, and then somewhere along the way, opening up the window* right, dropping one ticket, an hour or two later dropping the other.Then hoping someone down there picks one or both of them up? I looked at her for probably 10 seconds and said - lm going to bed, goodnight

Couldn't rub the machine @ the store in S. Lake Tahoe. I did find a big IGT machine like the KY one only different color so didn't play that one. Tickets good through April!

Never met a lucky winner and don't think they'd appreciate any arm rubs from me...lol. Leave that for inanimate objects or my dog.

with you, Bleudog101. When the top 25 list is up it means a lot of winnings are on the line. Ready to be won by an LP Member.

Congratulations on your wins and the new system for luck.

When you rub the upper arms of a winner some luck will run off on to your hands.

Thanks again, Todd, et al for posting the rankings of the lottery jackpots, always my favorite.

Played Powerball on big blue IGT machine @ the grocery store where I normally don't play. Gave her a big rub down on her sides, who cares what folks thought in the checkout lanes! Sign on her said $10K winner sold here. Well both tickets won $12, not too shabby I suppose.

Now just to win SOMETHING on Mega Millions.
