The news media is barely covering this latest roll over so we have yet to go into a true buying frenzy. What are some of the interesting indicators that the jackpot is in record territory?

Thrifty has gone into self-imposed exile after going insane.

Ultimately, he just couldn't avoid the insanity.

He did leave word by phone message that he will still buy a lottery ticket someday.

He went on to say that he's "Cuckoo for Coco-Puffs."

And then the line went dead.

I'd say when the number of picks/play on a draw meets or exceeds the odds on the game, then the jackpot is in insane territory.(and it is likely to hit)

The last time PB did that, it was over $500M and it hit.

The last time MM did that, the final 2 draws both exceeded odds when it hit for over $600M on the 2nd.

On this last PB of $260M, it was only about 25% there, so the next one might get close, and the one after that will probably will break it.

The threads announcing jackpots in the News Forum right here on LP!

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

However much they make fun of your legacy, I will always stand by your side THRIFTY.

Good friends and loyalty are hard to come by these days, especially on this insane site of lottery lunatics.

Come back soon my friend, the next ticket is on me.
