Right the annuity is only going up $250,000 each draw. So the cash value increase is about $220,000 - $230,000.

It will be interesting to see.

Edit. I just checked the last 5 draws. Cash amount on July 7 was $5,410,000. Cash amount for this Saturday's draw is $6,470,000, $1,060,000 difference. So, the cash increase is actually about $176,000 each rollover, though it does vary. The increase from last night for the next draw is $240,000 even though the annuity only went up $250,000.

I am interested to see the increases in between the 3 draws at higher $$ levels($2-300M+). Will the extra day generate only half the dollar amount increases with the lower jackpots

As human beings we tend to get bored easily. From movies that are too long, to eating the same type of food for weeks, to doing a boring repetitive job over and over. Even a relationship where you wake up one day after 9 yrs and ask yourself why? why am I still here? The people who run the lotteries realize that we are like this, that's why they are constantly shifting and changing and trying to bring in as many new and interesting games as possible ....from drawing style games to scratch-offs....

Could be to much for people playing it at a good budget like $20 the game.

Well, I'm thinking I will pass on that and just play Wednesday and Saturday on PB and Lotto.

I'm not surprised they are doing this.

This is no different than when Texas went from 2 draws a day to 4 draws a day with the Pick 3 and Daily 4 games. They like to tell players that You have 4 chances to win! . Well, you also have 4 chances to lose. It's really a way for the lottery to make more money.

A lot of states have been adding extra drawings to their games lately. My state recently went daily with 3 different games. Makes sense though, it makes them more money.
