Am I correct in my view that the jackpot spends more time as it is increasing in the lower jackpot amounts during rollovers ? Once it reaches $300,000,000.00 it usually is won quickly.

Well, sure. As the jackpot grows, jackpot fever grows. As jackpot fever grows, more people play, and more combinations (lines) are bought. This increases the odds that someone out there will have bought the winning numbers. This is also why the really big jackpots end up being split among multiple winners.

On another note... Am I correct in my view that the jackpot spends more time as it is increasing in the lower jackpot amounts during rollovers ? Once it reaches $300,000,000.00 it usually is won quickly.

Mr. Noise-Gate,

I'm afraid I have a slightly different situation.

I have to get my tickets once a week. I get both lottos for both times, every week, regardless of jackpot.

That's because I get my tickets on Sunday, in the next state up, which happens to be a non-lotto-tax state.

Should the unlikely happen, and I win either prize one or prize two, I will relocate to that state, before I claim my prize.

Should it be a lower prize, I have friends that live there. . . . .

I hope m... [ More ]

I like to see them roll! There's no doubt a $40m PB jackpot would improve my life, but it wouldn't be a real game changer like a $150m+ jp would be.

I'd rather win it tonight than have it roll over and have a chance of winning it when it's millions higher.

So the answer is no, I don't hope for it to roll. No matter the jackpot, even the starting jackpot, I want to see my numbers come up.

I think sharing a small starting jackpot would sting me a bit. Remember all those people who won 2nd prize playing fortune cookie numbers?

Would I want to share my 40mil jackpot with 10 other players? NO!

It would be awesome to have wo 4mil$ on a 1$ bet, but I intend to share with my family, and there is a lot of them.

Also such small jackpots don't allow for any mishaps and missteps.

It is as l said No One, and l mean No One bemoans the jackpots rolling over, BUT how would they roll over if everyone playing won every time? That is why l pointed out deep down folks are hoping that the JP's rise.

I forget who originally posted this idea but wining a start point jackpot right after someone has won a huge jackpot and hasn't claimed it yet would sure take the attention off of you and your 'measly' $15 or $40 million.

As a practical matter it's statistically impossible for a lottery jackpot to ever be too much money. I can't understand why somebody would want to win a starting jackpot instead of winning a much bigger jackpot a few weeks later.

When a jackpot starts getting pumped up I hope that if I do win it's not a solo win, and if it's not me, somebody hits it before all the insanity kicks in.

Hoping that you and others do NOT win..yet, especialy if it is at the start up stage, because deep down you want the jackpots to roll? When it does reach a sensible amount then and Only then do you see yourself being handed the cardboard check ..right?

Does that make sense, the hoping not to win part, or is it win it all now, regardless of the amount?
