Powerball went from 410 million to 470 million. I can't believe it went up 60 million.

The worksheet at https://www.txlottery.org/export/sites/lottery/Games/Powerball/Estimated_Jackpot.html showed the actual jackpot at just over 427 million sometime on Wednesday afternoon so, as above, it's really an increase of 43 million. I'm surprised they didn't bother raising the advertised jackpot by mid-afternoon on Wednesday.

Now we can wait and see if MM gets bumped up again tomorrow, and if PB w... [ More ]

Powerball was at $427 bye the time it drew on Wednesday night so it went up $43 million not $60 million.-weshar75

It seems like both lotteries are back to their old pre-Covid-19 ways...thinking MM will be increased again

Powerball went from 410 million to 470 million. I can't believe it went up 60 million. That is crazy.

Mega Millions is now 490 million.

Certainly it'll bump up again before Friday's drawing and if PB is won tonight the frenzy will really go to MM

Wow, someone in California just took the Mega Millions second prize jackpot that's been growing for along time worth $2,390,663! (https://www.usamega.com/mega-millions/drawing/2021/1/5)

Powerball's second prize jackpot is now sitting at an incredible $3,584,739, which should be more than $4 million by draw time. (https://www.usamega.com/powerball/drawing/2021/1/2) If I lived in California I'd be going all-in on Powerball at this point.

These games are too difficult to win. Buy a ticket or two and dream. I have mines.

Looks to me like it's time to return to pre-covid rollovers for both MM PB.

Am I correct that this is the first time an increase went into effect just before the nightly drawing with the new changes to MM? I'm talking about lower starting jackpots and incrementally slow increases in between drawings.
