Lame, when are they going to make these games harder to win? They are both WAY TOO EASY for winners and are going to be bankrupted. We'll never see large jackpots again ever.

It's very kind of you to tell the forum that the MM & PB jackpots are " so easy" to be won. How about winning one or two and then passing on the formula to the rest of us.l am sure we will ALL be eternally grateful.

I dont know how you define large. I could live well and happily ever after on last night's jackpot of $60 mil. But for the sake of argument, lets say anything $100 million or higher is large. From 1/2016 to 4/1/2017 there have been 14 jackpots over a $100 million. Half of those jackpots were $200 million and higher.

Not way too easy for you and I but way too easy for winners. It's so easy for them that we may never see either jackpot roll again, might just be $40 mil and $15 mil from now on out.

Why? It hasnt been all $40/$15 before. In fact, in the past 14 months we've had 5 jackpots over $400 million.

Yeah it would be nice if we could ever see those type of jackpots again wouldn't it?

If they changed with matrix for both games again to make them extremely hard we would!

The last time we had back to back jackpot winning tickets (Mega Millions and Powerball) were on October 16th and October 17th, 2016!

I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the PB to win the largest PB jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars!

It will happen again tomorrow and Wednesday. Lately it's been way too easy for winners to win.

No, it isnt. I use to look at LP's handy dandy jackpot history graphs a couple of years ago and the average # of jackpots were around 12 in a year. So far, in the past 365 days, we've had only 8 PB jackpots and 7 MM jackpots. Worse, my state lotto has only had 3 jackpots in that time period. It also use to have 10-12 jackpots a year. So, you got your wish: It appears it is much harder to win and the jackpots are larger.
