  Makes sense - Coleman about half the price as Rodman. I would take Rodman to the airport for lunch, then enjoy the metal detectors going off.

  So help me here.  Each of the 2 big jackpots have a limit to the rollover amounts once they reach the record amount, right?  In other words, it will not be a cap on the jackpot amount, but a cap on the increments that the jackpot can increase by.  I do not find this information on the websites of any state offering PB or MM.  Maybe I am not looking at the right link.  If someone has it, please send it to me.

  Powerball's next cap would be 340 + 25 or 365 million. MM has no cap but it might never get to 500. My guess is the highest it could get would be 430 or so. Anything above 300 would be nice since that has never happened with MM in spite of the increadible odds.

  Why are you limiting MM - it has the larger player base; more players, more dollars. If PB can hit $340M with a smaller base, the MM should reach higher, not lower.

  Chewie, no one's limiting MM! Take a close look at what you stated yourself. It has a larger player base & more players! With that said, it means someone is more likely to hit it sooner than that of the smaller player base of PB! And the next note that should be looked at is, a fellow LP member said it would only go to about 430 million at best! How does that come-out to MM going lower to PB's 340 million?  

  Keep dreaming the impossible dream, it just may come true!

  The limit is it keeps getting hit below 300 million. Any game could go for a run so far MM hasn't. Even normally small games like the Canada 6/49 or even a game that always gets hit at low levels like Powerball can have a large run. I think it's a matter of time for MM to go on a run. So far only the game before MM went on a run not MM.

  I am not sure if it listed anywhere, because it rarely ever happens. But I did see it go into effect, and announced when it did. Why do you think those 49 players won $853,000 instead of only $200,000? They got a share of the increment raise that was passed down from the cap.

  Mega Millions does NOT limit jackpot rollovers like MUSL does for Powerball. Maybe MM should do it too.

  I like having one game that does the Bonus Pool and one that doesn't....at least some variety.
