The jackpot is normally between 92-102 million at this point. Hopefully the jackpots jump more once the jackpots get higher. Alot of people realize you can't win a mm jackpot under a 100 million it's been 7 months since that has happened. Powerball will be ok it's a fair game.

I thought CA was going to bring in a lot more money. I think more people are not playing because they raised the matrix. Just my opinion though. We'll see if the matrix to powerball has the same affect next month.

CA will benefit when Mega Millions or CA SLP jackpot is over $100 million. However, CA SLP ticket sales are falling. This is the 6th rollover in CA SLP and is only at 24 million.

I haven't played since the June 24th drawing for this reason...I like to choose my own numbers based on draw history.

Now that the MegaMillions jackpot will be $100M or more, I suspect the Currently Online number will increase as well as ticket sales.

Yeah, once that happens we may see the jackpot jump $75+ million in one roll.

I continue to call for a larger LS matrix (6/52-53) even without expanding to a fourth state.

Lotto South seems to be getting more frequent winners. Since the Mega Millions drawing history had to be reset, it may deter system players from participating until there's enough drawings to get a handle on tendencies. I notice the deltas between the balls are tending to be much larger than before.

CA has yet to experience a $200 million jackpot.

Sales fell in every state and California has stabilized below New York but above New Jersey.

People probably stops buying tickets since they think there won't be any jackpot to win this week either. So why buy any tickets? The longer they wait the bigger the chance of a jackpot being drawn. It's a chance to take since it can come in any draw.

Events in London may have resulted in fewer people going out and buying tickets.The payouts at lower levels were unusually high for the number of players. They did payout about 84% more than Tuesday's drawing. That would leave less money to roll into the next jackpot.

It's the midweek drop it happens down here in Florida too. I'm really curious IF no one hits Tuesday will the Friday jackpot go out for more than $120M? Goodluck to all on Tuesday it seems it's road trip time after all.

Maybe the novelty has worn off for Californians. Just wait until it hits $200 mil, then they'll go to Mega like Louie Anderson on a meatball sub. Correction, like me on a meatball sub with a free NJ Pick 3/4 with Instant Match included.

strangly sales are falling. Not a good sign for having an impact of faster rolls. sales were better at the first of july. could just be that the welfare and ssi checks came in though.
