The average jackpot size when it is won will be higher (approximately double) because the higher ticket price has a higher contribution to the jackpot, with nearly the same odds of winning.

It won't grow fast when it's low because it's so expensive. I'm surprised anyone is playing. I guess there are a lot of people out there who have been playing the same numbers for 20 years and can't stop.

They told us that the jackpot would grow faster with the matrix change. That doesn't seem to be the case.

The latest jackpot increase is $14MM.

The odds of winning the jackpot better than before.

I don't see how we are going to get bigger jackpots.

It is clear fewer people are playing.
