Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot has increased by $43 million to $843 million after 37 consecutive rolls and is the largest Mega Millions jackpot since December 2024. This jackpot increase is surprisingly less than the previous increase. There is a 4.6% chance the jackpot will be won in the November 7 draw with projected sales of $70.3 million. This is the highest sales since the launch of the new game. The Mega Millions jackpot is starting to grow faster than Powerball as evidenced in only the las

If the Mega Millions jackpot rolls four more times, it will break the 36 roll record for Mega Millions. The odds the jackpot is won in the next draw is about 3.3%. Lets say the odds for each of the next fours draws averages out to 3.5%, then the odds the jackpot rolls at least 4 more times is about 87%. The Powerball record is 41 rolls.

Here is something else that is missing - Date Workup hits. My records for this workup only extend back to the beginning of 2019, but since I have been keeping tabs, the furthest out a Date workup hit has been was about 68 days. Previously, that was far and away the furthest out. The next furthest gap was 44 days or so. But now we have blown past the old record by more than a week, at 79 days! And counting! That is well over two months without a Date workup hit, when we normally get three or so h

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Even though Powerball is clearly winning this race, the Powerball jackpot is growing at much lower rates than its record runs. Lottery sales for the big national games are down. This is probably the main reason the Mega Millions game was recently changed. Many of the Powerball records were set when the draws were held twice a week. When they went to three draws per week, naturally sales per draw went down. The current Powerball jackpot at $426 million was reached after 27 rolls. But, the 27

The Mega Millions jackpot is now $302 million. The difference between the Mega Millions jackpot and the Powerball jackpot increased again by only $1 million. This is the third time in a row, the difference between the two jackpots increased by exactly $1 million. Sales are definitely down since both jackpots are growing slower than they used to. Mega Millions has reached $302 million after 17 rolls. The 17 roll jackpot record for Mega Millions is $489 million (62% larger). The Powerball jac

$1.5 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot fuels rush for ticketsReply
I hope it actually gets to $3 Billion so when I or someone hit it we can literally see someone walk away as a billionaire after cash option and taxes. It's not impossible, but it's going to take a lot more than $3 billion for that to happen unless interest rates go way down. Even if interest rates go way down it will still take the same amount of cash, and the same number of tickets without producing a winner sooner. With the current interest rate you'd net about 29% of the annuity value af

620,000 Montana Lottery Montana Millionaire raffle tickets sell out in 6 hoursReply
No one on this board has the energy to talk about Mega Millions jackpot buildup? I do and I will. The jackpot started on July 1, 2025 over 4 months ago. Only 14 million tickets were sold for Tuesday's drawing meaning that only 5% of the possible numbers were covered roughly by definition. Jackpot odds are 1 in 290,472,336 I have been saying here that raising the price to $5.00 per ticket would negatively reduce sales by a lot and that is exactly the case. I am just guessing, but by

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
honest question, what is the advantage of hiring someone advertising themselves as a lottery lawyer over someone who simply has a proven track record of handling large estates and trusts? nothing against the guy, i'm sure he's competent and his clients are happy, but instinctively i'd prefer someone with less visibility. aside from the cost, what is really the downside of hiring a big city firm? in a major population center, they'd probably have some experience helping lottery winners even if th

Your welcome, Blessings---if you are using excel to record your draw history, you can use the conditional formatting to splash some color onto those sum codes. It helps see the little footprints they like to leave behind.
