  All 75 MM numbers has been drawn at least once in the last 77 drawings, I wonder if it will take longer than another 77 drawings for them all to be drawn at least twice.

  All 75 MM numbers has been drawn at least once in the last 77 drawings.  I included more than the 55 drawings since the 5/75+1/15 format was started, if it takes 77 drawings since the new format went into effect for all 75 numbers to be drawn than we could be waiting another 27 drawings.

  New matrix, new game. Whenever they change the matrix, they usually get new machines and ball sets. Only thing that stays the same is the game title.

  So from a tracking standpoint, wouldn't you start at the point of the new format?

  If the chances of winning the jackpot are so slim, why play when the jackpot is so small? Your chances never change, but the potential payoff does.
  If a crystal ball showed you the future of the rest of your life, and in that future you will never win a jackpot, would you still play?

  Sounds logical if that's your intent but as I said I was interested in the time it took for all 75 numbers to be drawn.

  Yep.  Since the matrix change, all mega numbers came up at least twice and one mega number was drawn six times with everything else in between.

  twice - 4, 5, 11, and 14

  6 times - 8
