Plus with the really poor jackpots sales have been droping. Only by one to two million but still a decrease. Looks like they need to change their game. What's interesting is that now mega has more sales at lower jackpot amounts than powerball. Sales even droped below 10 million. First time since 2003 it' has done that.

I have a theory that the first jackpot jump is so small because they are recouping some of the initial $10 million. Sales-wise I think the first jackpot would be $6 million, then a $6 million jump to the $12 million. They advertise a $10 million starting jackpot.

Sales dictate jackpot increases. If that's all thye're going to sell, then that's all they can raise it.
