$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
I can't imagine that the actual increase for Wednesday won't be something bigger than the increase for Monday, and simply matching it would result in a final total of 1.745B. Last week sales for Wednesday were about 37% higher than sales for Monday jackpot, and the same 37% increase this time around would add about 73 million, so 1.815ish seems like a fairly safe bet. Now that they had about that same increase I'm even more surprised that we never saw a bump yesterday. I think they really m

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
PB will claim they set a new record if the annuity is more than the current $2.04 billion record, but to beat the $997.6 million cash value of that jackpot the annuity needs to be 2.17B, assuming the interest rate doesn't change. The PB worksheet posted on Monday afternoon suggests that a rollover on Wednesday will give us a Saturday jackpot of about $2.11 billion, but I'm not sure the people behind that estimate really have a better idea than anyone else. They came up over $60 million short on

Lotto Max to undergo significant game changes, price increaseNews Story
Bigger jackpots, but they're harder to win By Kate Northrop The multi-province Lotto Max game is getting an overhaul this spring, which will include a bigger jackpot cap, additional $100,000 prizes with every draw, and a ticket price increase. Lotto Max, the multi-province draw game of Canadian lotteries, is set to deliver higher jackpots, additional prizes, and more lines per play, all at the cost of a ticket price increase and more difficult odds at hitting the jackpot. Last we

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
It rolled, and there's a very good chance it will be past the billion mark when the drawing happens. NY has been showing the final amount on the results page, and Monday's jackpot is reported as $776.7 million. That's a jump of $60.9 million over the previous drawing and Mondays have the worst increases, typically being less than the previous Wednesday to Saturday increase. For Wednesday's drawing the original $815 million seemed very conservative, and at a reported $861.2 million we got an incr

$1.8 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now second-largest ever as ticket sales surge across the USAReply
I hope no one wins tomorrow so the record gets broken! I've been waiting along time for that, but the real record is something north of $997.6 million in cash. To get there we need an annuity of $2.173 billion or so (assuming the interest rate doesn't change). I think we should be at the point where sales for Monday should at least be almost as big as Saturday's, and that's what we saw last Monday. If we see 1.844 tonight that's an even $400 million more than Wednesday, so we'd need an incr

Those machines are all over the place in Pennsylvania. I imagine some of that player base will increase PA casino revenues now.

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
I hope the powerball will NOT increase their price next year because the powerball drawing is three times a week were as the mega million is only two times a week.

It is far more likely actually a certainty that Power Ball will increase theirs to match Mega Millions next year.

No winner again: Powerball jackpot hits $1.6 billion in longest-ever rollover runReply
Estimate was way off. They missed by even more in than MM missed back in October 2018 when they advertised a $1.6 billion jackpot and only managed 1.537. Depending on the metric you choose PB missed by almost 2 1/2 times as much as MM did. MM advertised an annuity increase of $600 million and missed by 10.5%. Powerball advertised a nominal annuity increase of $250 million and missed by 26%. Could be an indicator of lotto fatigue. Jackpot growth has definitely slowed down in general
