Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
There is a lot of discussion on how the Mega Millions jackpot is growing so slowly. But the reality is, both the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are growing slowly. Currently, the Mega Millions jackpot is growing more slowly than the Powerball jackpot simply because the Powerball jackpot is much larger - about three times as large. The current Powerball jackpot at $700 million was reached after 35 rolls. The 35 roll record for Powerball is a whopping $1.76 billion - over twice as large as t

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Powerball is still clearly winning the race with a jackpot of $526 million. The increase was $25 million compared to the latest Mega Millions increase of only $16 million. But the Powerball jackpot is growing relatively slowly. The jackpot has rolled 31 times. The 31 roll record is over twice as large as the current jackpot at $1,066 million.

The Mega Millions jackpot is now $280 million. The difference between the Mega Millions jackpot and the Powerball jackpot increased again by only $1 million. Even though the Mega Millions jackpot is growing faster then Powerball, it gets a failing grade given the Mega Millions jackpot is three times larger than the Powerball jackpot. The best way for the Mega Millions jackpot to redeem itself is to break the record jackpot of $2.04 billion.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Since the race began when Mega Millions ticket prices were raised to $5, the Powerball jackpot reached about $1.8 billion twice. Whereas, Mega Millions reached just shy of $1 billion only once. What exactly is the race ? If we're talking about bang for the buck(s) PB's cheaper price usually makes it the better bet, but at any given moment the jackpot divided by the ticket cost is as close as there is to a sensible metric for deciding which game to play. Right now MM's chance at $138 million

$1.8 billion Powerball jackpot won by a single lottery ticket sold in ArkansasReply
Would've preferred it to have set new record myself.... I suspect that nobody is more unhappy about having a winner on Wednesday that the people at PB. Not only would a rollover have let them boat about a (possibly legitimate) new record, their 50% take for Saturday's sales would probably have been on the order of $200 million more than what it will be for a $20 million jackpot. It appears that all 292.2 million combination of tickets were sold out. The jackpot keeps growing until all 2

$167 million Powerball lottery winner arrested a THIRD TIME after burglarizing home for $12kReply
Farthing split Kentucky's record $167.3 million Powerball jackpot with his mother, Linda Grizzle, back in August 2024, claiming it on April 28, 2025.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot increased by the minimum $10 million to $110 million after 6 rolls. There is an estimated 1.4% chance the Mega Millions jackpot will be won in the next draw. The jackpot is underfunded from sales by about $22.5 million. In the previous Mega Millions run, the jackpot went from $100 million to $125 million and set a new roll record. New roll records were then set for the next several draws. As pointed out by KY Floyd, sales are lower for this run then the previous tw
