  When and if the BILLION $ jackpot happens---- I would like to see a minimum number of 5000 winning tickets split the cash option total amount. Now decending from soapbox...........

  After federal taxes, that would be around $74k a piece. It would kill the game.

  The jackpot before the record had it been won would have only been one winner with the right numbers at $900 million plus so it is not easy to win these games.-weshar75

  One of the problems when a large jackpot is won, is that it shortens the lottery week. Instead of 4 exciting days, we're down to two.  I may buy one MM ticket but I dont think most people will.  In other states you do have a crack at the second prize of a million and the $15 million but in Cal. the pari-mutuel system means it will be less than 100k. Also, no multiplier option. I will note that after the July 2016 $500 plus million dollar MM jackpot, there were 2 more jackpot winner of $25 and $15 million bucks.

  I don't think it will happen.  I am working on numbers and looking in the search area about the jackpots.

  I think one of the best times to win a jackpot is right after a big one has been won. Frankly, even second prize with the megaplier is enough for me to kiss my job goodbye.

  So....I have a ticket with megaplier for Tuesday night. And a Powerball ticket with powerplay for Wednesday night.

  CAN'T WIN IF YOU'RE NOT IN

  A DOLLAR AND A DREAM (OR $2)

  I think it's going to reset after this draw.

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

  "The winning ticket?"

  Or just one of the winning ticket?

  I'll be shocked if it hits over a billion dollars again. I think one ticket will win it this time RJOh and Redd55!
