which one?

1 small issue, PB cant even if it wanted to

PB has a jackpot cap of 390m, atfer that, all money gets spread out to 2nd place winners

its rather stupid rule, a cap on a rolling jackpot of all things

and sense powerball cash jackpot is often less then 50% of the annuity ,

even if it made it 390m, cap only goes up 25m once hit

to 415m, sure be below 200m cash!

it would take 3-4 diff jackpot records to get the cap to allow above 200m cash with their annuity

Which Jackpot game reaches $200,000,000 cash option first, in history?

Easy. It's Mega Millions, and I can even tell you when. March 2007.

I posted about a $400,000,000 Jackpot, and will either ever reach that plateau, but the real question is will either ever reach a $200,000,000 cash option. I think Mega Millions will.
