I'll start off by saying I moved from Ca a while ago but used to play all the time.
The jackpot starts out at $7 million. Before the 2008 recession, after a few rolls of jumping by $1 million, it would jump by $2 million until it was hit. Once the recession hit, then they only raised it by $1 million and I can see why they changed it due to people losing their jobs and having less money. But eventually the recession ended and people got jobs and the economy was thriving yet the Super Lotto Plus jackpot kept raising only by $1 million.
The jackpot right now is $45 million and was previously at $44 million. CA is one of the states that makes the Powerball & Mega Millions skyrocket when they start getting higher. Lots of people play the lottery in CA.
I am curious if the CA Lottery is lying about their numbers and not raising the jackpots as high as they should be because with the current jackpot at $45 million it should be getting raised a lot higher than $1 million a draw or am I just off about this? When states much smaller are raising theirs by $200,000 a draw it doesn't make any sense the Super Lotto Plus only gets raised by $1 million. When I was on LotteryPost long ago I remember the tool that indicated the average jump of each lottery's jackpot per draw and the Super Lotto Plus' was at $2 million per draw.
Sorry for babbling on but just curious on others thoughts.
