There is a 10% chance of not picking 13 to 19 out of 1-25 with 7 tries.

13-19 is 7 of 25, leaving 18 that are not 13-19. Probability of not picking 13-19 is 18/25=0.72. Probability of doing that 7 times is 0.72^7 = 0.100306

LottoMetro — Sun, 21 Oct 2018 22:12:23 GMT

If I recall, back in 2014 Texas stopped participating in jackpot estimations for MM, so they no longer post it. It was never as detailed as PB's anyway

Comment #205

KY Floyd — Sun, 21 Oct 2018 21:45:16 GMT

Anyway to find that info out?

Freedom of Information request? The information is available, but they certainly don't put it out there in plain sight. I've seen two news article (one of them here on LP) that indicate that PB finished at 476instead of the advertised 460, but no idea where the info comes from.

The TX lottery website posts a PB worksheet that has information that may or may not be more accurate and up to date. Look for the links to the worksheets here: https://www.txlottery.o... [ More ]

Time for me to enlarge a copy of a mega play-slip attach it to a wall and throw darts at it to make my pick selections.. as the slogan goes have to be in it to win it. i will be now at the tune of 1.6B.. Keeping my darts crossed hope i win.

Revolution777 — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 17:15:33 GMT

KYFLOYD, good point! I am thinking the jackpot surpassed $1.0B yesterday? Maybe it went to $1.1B? Anyway to find that info out?

I think with both jackpots in the TOP 6 of all time (if PB rolls tonight), the LOTTERY FRENZY will hit critical mass! $1.6B is very possible and could go higher.

Comment #201

KY Floyd — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 16:31:13 GMT

how about it going up to @ least $2 billion come draw time???

I think they threw caution to the wind with their estimate, and I'm wondering if it will really reach 1.6.

For the PB record it jumped 420 from 548 to 828, and then 638 from 948 to 1.586 billion. Since then we've had almost 3 years for jackpot fatigue to reduce sales, and despite starting 120 million higher at 667 we only saw an increase of 333 . MM starting from a billion offers an edge compared to PB starting at 948, but afte... [ More ]

I think we ve run out of winners, no one can win. I don t think there will be a winner until EVERY possible number combo is sold. What if it rolls for 3-4 more drawings? We d be looking at $10+ billion maybe

Comment #196

Revolution777 — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 10:49:02 GMT

So, this drawing went from $667M to $1.0B....increase of $333M.

How high can this $1.6B jackpot go?

I predict $1.77B (which makes the CASH option $1.0B)

Good luck to all on the CRAZY LOTTERY TRAIN

Comment #194

Redd55 — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 10:41:16 GMT

A lot of tickets were sold in Calif. Because of our weird system, the 5/6 prize starts at around $85k and builds up, averaging around $125k a roll. On 10/16, it had reached $1,926,474 and was won. Again, someone won last night and due to all the sales, it was $3,404,526. And no, they dont offer a multiplier. So, hopefully, the second prize will build up again and will be a couple of million or more by Tuesday. Unfortunately, I only won 2 bucks last nite.

Therefore if I could have won it would be winning the same amount as the jackpot with a different name not that I would win billions . now who got the ego

Traveling to LISTENTOME's home state to get tickets; it was contingent on nobody winning.

Even Megamillions home page hasn't said where the 15 million dollar winners and one Megaplier ticket was sold yet. Long night for them.

Here's an astonishing thought: The CV will be over $1 billion by Tuesday

If it hits Tuesday and Powerball keeps rolling to $1 billion, there will be a lot of broke people this holiday season

Also looks as if the Delaware Lottery will be my go-to site whenever the results are pending for too long

My bad, should have figured that out because I knew the Megaplier was 2 .

Saw where 280 million tickets were sold, but didn't say if anybody won. If they knew how many ticket were sold, they should know if the jackpot was won.

Comment #174

TheMeatman2005 — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 08:55:22 GMT

That 5/5 +MP $5 mil winner in Texas was from the 10/16/18 drawing.

The drawing from last night (10/19/18) is still Pending.

Comment #173

Stack47 — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 08:54:19 GMT

He probably has two stories ready; one saying where the jackpot was won and for how much and the other saying it rolled to some obscene amount of money. And we still have tonight's PB drawing to wait out.

Just saw were somebody in San Antonio, Texas won $5 million by matching five numbers and using the Megaplier. Just a guess either the people in Delaware know something nobody else knows or somebody there made a wild guess and went to bed.

NY216 — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 06:05:27 GMT

I only spent $6 and did not get a single number (had the 7 as a regular number, not as the mega ball). However I keep refreshing the official website seeing when the jackpot amount will be updated.

I have a feeling if someone wins, it will be from a quick pick with the lack of birthday numbers.

Before Drawing so You Would have to wait until later in the morning.. LOL Kidding

Have noticed a few times it's been 6-7hrs before we knew and the JP was no where near this large!

Last time PB was over a Billion I do remember Celebrities were sending their staff out to purchase tickets for them, so It's no like they don't play when JP Is large.

Remember how long it took in 2016 for Powerball? I think it was somewhere around 2:30 am when people learned of the 3 jackpot winners. (And Powerball tends to be quicker to get the announcement out than Mega Millions.) I imagine the volume of data for some of the smaller states is harder to deal with.

Todd — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 05:19:56 GMT

Revolution777, please stop posting this.

It is possible that it will roll, but the Delaware Lottery's website is not authoritative.

It is common knowledge that during big jackpot rolls like this, some smaller states automatically put up a jackpot roll, whether it happened or not. The same thing happened during the record Powerball jackpot in 2016. Again, a roll is possible, but not confirmed at this point.

Revolution777 — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 05:19:50 GMT

Who can believe this? Megamillions rolls to a jackpot of $1.6B NEXT TUESDAY and Powerball will roll to $620M on Wed. or $1.0B next Saturday. Are the STARS ALIGNED OR WHAT

Comment #144

Six balls — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 05:18:52 GMT

I'm so excited!

Back of the envelope math says $1.77B JP would be $1B cash value. If we could go up 3 days in a row on this one, surely we can reach a little higher than $1.6B

Right, they got the usual 'one 5 out of 6 ticket sold' tweet out right away (like usual), but they haven't done a 'and no JP winners in other states, new JP will be $X' yet.

Then again, I'd want to triple check before I posted that $1,600,000,000 was going to be the JP, so maybe it's just caution.
