  There has been no $300m Jackpot yet in 2006; we've been close, but close is only good in horseshoes.  I pick MegaMillions!

  Euromillions won't hit 300 due to the 12 rollover rule but still has the record for the largest jackpot. Euromillions just has a cash jackpot that's tax-free. Even not factoring tax in it has a higher jackpot but the odds are far lower.

  I doubt Euromillions will even break 100 million pounds for the rest of the year. My bet would be on Powerball but not in this current run. Nothing is going to break 300 on this run. Mega may have to wait for 2007 to break 300.

  My vote is for Mega Millions. With the odds at 176 million, it's very hard to win the jackpot. In fact, their first rollover set a new roll 1 record. PB won't get new roll records.

  Definately Powerball. It's jackpot is so heavily inflated.

  Yeah, both Powerball and Mega Millions should have an easier time breaking $300 million due to interest rate increases.

  I certainly think one of these will crack the $300 and give us a great start to the summer.

  Summer starts with the summer solstice on June 21. I doubt any pot will crack 300 million by then. Possibly during the summer. On May 30 North Carolina joins Powerball so that might lower Powerballs chance at cracking 300. Megamillions can't break 300 even with no one joining and has had two successive pots hit 250 and fail to roll. This current Mega  pot will most likely not even break 200.

  I think both Powerball and Mega Millions has a chance to break 300 million, but if I had a choice I would choose Powerball since I play it over Mega Millions.

  Next time you might add a choice "None of the above."  That would be my choice this time.

  Either Euro Millions, Mega Millions or Powerball will be hit this weekend.
