  I believe this is the record for the smallest increase in a jackpot, no?

  the smallest increase ever is when the jackpot is actually won.

  then the jackpot increases by a negative value.

  It's just a sign of the tough times.  I remember when $1M was a small increase for our state lottery and now its increases are seldom above $100K.  I hope that doesn't happen to our multi-states games.

  Yeah, it appears both Mega Millions and Powerball are in a slump.
