Mega Millions lottery jackpot raised to $262 millionReply
The last increase was 37 million, so assuming another increase of at least 37 million the advertised jackpot would be at least 299 million, and that's enough for a record pre-tax payout. The cash value is about 58.7% of the advertised annuity, so a single winner could take a cash payout of about 175.5 million. That would be about 5 million more than Jack Whittaker's prize from 2002 and 11 million more than the payout in the recently over-hyped powerball record .In all probability a rollover w

Powerball Jackpot Grows to $180 MillionReply
Everyone seems so focused on hitting a new record, like rooting for a sports team. I sort of understand it, but I really don't feel that same burning need to set a record. I guess I just don't tie myself emotionally to having the state lottery jackpot reach new record levels. If it happens, it happens. If not, I'm happy with big jackpots as they are.For me, I just like the jackpot to get over $100 million, and then I'll play again and again. On average, I'll probably play once per week when
