Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The 40 roll record for Powerball is $2,040.1 million - more than double the current jackpot. A lot more than double this one. The cash value of the PB record jackpot was a hair over $997 million. If this run gets to the same 2.04 billion it will only be worth $941 million, coming up $56 million shy of the record. If this run gets to 2.05 billion PB will brag about a new record, but to simply equal the record we need an annuity of $2.1627 billion if the interest rates stays the same. lot

I believe the reason for the drop was because the $1.7 billion Powerball jackpot was won. Mega Millions sales were up because Powerball sales were way up. Once the jackpot was won, sales for both games dropped dramatically.

The sales per draw have been amazingly consistent over the last few draws and show no signs of increasing despite the relatively large size of the jackpot. The maximum draw sales for this run were $51 million and occurred for the Septe

It's interesting the estimated sales for mm tonight were $36,789,000 but the actual sales were $38,515,850. That's almost $2M more than expected but there was no change in the jackpot or cash amount or the expected next jackpot. Where are they putting the additional unexpected $2M in sales? I'm not sure how much they keep and how much goes to the jackpot. Is it half? Is that not enough to show an increase?

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
How are sales, will it roll over? I'm wondering if there's any chance that sales today have been lower than expected, because I was sure we'd see an updated jackpot this afternoon. Their own, and presumably conservative, sales estimate is for 112 million tickets which would add about $75 million cash and increase the annuity by $165 million. Saturday's drawing ended at about $544 million cash and $1.201 billion for the annuity. That means their sales estimate puts tomorrow's jackpot at $619
