The jackpots are growing, but how high do you think the jackpot will go? The media is already making big buzz on the jackpots, but I don't want to waste money if I lose due to a higher Jackpot.

Plus, my vibes haven't been very good lately, so the karma of winning a jackpot is too premature for me.

Just a hunch this time....Should both roll this weekend ? Intuition is whispering they will both hit half a Billion before there is a winner.....My plan to help relieve the stress of larger jackpots for my fellow LPer's, is to win one or both of them this weekend. That way when they reset to $40 Million, all will be calm again.

Calm? I guess if you call pages and pages of comments with people here attacking the winner(s) calm, then yes, there will be calm.

As for PB,

there was a winner on 1/13/2016 for a jackpot of 1.5 billion. It took 20 draws.

Right now, we are on the 19th draw with a jackpot of 455 million.

To me, that is quite a drop in popularity! Probably time for another matrix change.

Best Of Luck!

You bring up an interesting point of comparison between the two:

I went back and looked at the 16th draw of the BIG PB Jackpot Run - on 12-30-2015 and it was at $300 Million.

This current jackpot run as far as the 16th draw on 3-03-2018 was at $321 Million.

The benchmark stays a little off($11 Million) up through the 17th draw of both jackpots but then it goes way off from draw 18 & 19 & 20:

Draw 17 Draw 18 Draw 19 Draw 20

2016 - $334 Million......$500 Million....$900 Million.........$1.5 Billion

2018 - $345 Million......$385 Million....$420 Million.........**$455 Million - pending

Lets see how the marketing on this one goes.

Your right! I was looking at a chart I didn't update yet. Sorry for the incorrect info in my prior post.

Saturday's draw (3/17) will be the 20th draw, currently for 455 million.

Good Luck!

Just for S & G, I went and looked at a few other PB jackpot runs with at least 20 draws. There are some that have significant differences as the jackpot grows towards it's conclusion..... Interesting how the temperament toward purchases creates such a sway for different times of the year. I wonder if that big PB jackpot from 2 years ago had anything to do with it being just after the holiday season ?

No problem on the posted info, I didn't catch that one.

Good luck to you as well... Lets put Texas back on the map for a 2nd top 25 winner !!!

"MM numbers were pretty low"

Those two numbers that aren't on the calendar make a huge difference in the chance of a winner compared to all birthday numbers.

There are a total of 4,247,775 combinations using only calendar numbers. For 3 birthday numbers and 2 chosen only from the higher numbers numbers there are 3,330,795 and 83,269,875 after factoring in the mega ball numbers. Even if

With sales of roughly 27 million tickets the chances of a winner would only be 32% even if every single ticket fit that 3/2 pattern. Figuring that a lot of people would play all 5 numbers as birthday numbers the actual chance of a winner may have been a bit less than the simple probability of 27 million tickets / 302 million combinations.

"4 more draws to a Billion?"

I'd say there's no chance of PB getting from 385 to a billion in 4 drawings (385>420>455>500> 730ish (based on the last roll past 500). Even if MM wasn't typically slower than PB I'd figure we need at least 5 more rolls to get from 377 to a billion.

KY... the numbers that were 33 and below could represent birthdays of family born Jan 13 in 1926 and 1933 along with 5 boys and 2 girls with the most born in the 11th month.... numerous other possibilities to always ponder.

The PB has taken a definite downturn from 2 years ago when the $1.5 billion jackpot was won on the 20th draw to it being $455 Million on the 20th draw tonight...The 4 draws or more guess rwas for the MM. Your figure of 5 sounds reasonable as well...

Good luck tonight if your are playing.
