I think it works out well for them that Christmas Day falls on the day of the draw.

The sales were average, but since the next drawing is on Christmas Day, you're probably right about those sales being above average. Bet scratch-off sales will be up on Monday too.

lol. A reduction would be hilarious........

They would never do that but it's a nail biting experience not having any control over sales volume coupled with the fact that jackpots are being won so frequently.

Could you imagine the outrage? The Someday Lottery Club would lead the charge of course

If the jackpot had not been at the starting minimum, would they have reduced it

I suppose they would have REDUCED the jackpot if the rules had allowed

I think so. Why bother winning a jackpot if I'm going to be busy enjoying the glory of heaven itself

Do you know the opportunity cost of spending $1 to win $12M with odds of 1 in 175M?

How many $12M jackpots winners have you seen in mega millions since the game started

I bought a ticket at the store tonight but if I don't win. I hope that it goes to $15 million that is a reasonable hike. Good luck to all!-weshar75

Mega Millions reputation has been damaged by not rolling the jackpot.

Banks are nothing without savers. Mega Millions is nothing without lottery players.It shows you that lottery organizers do not bring anything to the table to get pay.

Stranger things have deterred people from doing what they normally do. Perhaps people may feel invincible that they've survived and parlay that good fortune into playing heavier tonight

Look at the sales volumes of the past starting jackpots for your answer. On 10/19 there was $16.3 million in sales and the next jackpot was $13 million, on 11/06, $15.1 million with the same increase, 11/30 was $18.1, again the same increase, and sales were $14.6 on Tuesday with no increase.

Since you're asking us to guess tonight's sales volume, why do you think it will be any higher or lower than with average $12 million jackpots

was low sales volume caused by misunderstood Mayan calendar

I am guessing it's a hybrid between low sales volume and large payouts of 2nd tier prizes.

I went out on a limb and voted 18m.

Is it B/C interest rates are at rock bottom ?

I'll vote, remains @ 12m,

but still keep playing, and be happy w/ 4mils. clear.

Driving upset in the lottery community, the Mega Millions Jackpot rolled over but did not increase in annuity value. In fact the cash value was reduced by 100k. There is much speculation as to why this proved so but no one seems to be happy about this rare occurrence. If it rolls over, what do you think the annuity value will be
