MM jackpot is $497M and PB is $160M, might be interesting to see which gets the most action.

Will the anti MM crowd go for the lesser PB jackpot, most of them not even springing for the extra dollar of the Powerplay?

It should be interestihg to watch.

Good luck to all, both games.

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

When both games cost the same it was common to go after the larger jackpot, no!

While I can't see the Measly Millions surviving the $5 price tag. It will be interesting to see if/when the $750M jackpot comes into existence for the frenzy purchases to begin. Perhaps if the new figure will be at $1B?? Good luck to all that participate in the MM which I Think it should be renamed from Mega Millions to "Slow Climb".

Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

Clever name, Slow Climb, but it would make MM less marketable.

Many people are winning larger amounts on mega millions. A $10 win can easily be $40. The goal was to differentiate the two large jackpot games. Keeping them the same price and similar matrix doesn't achieve that.

I got my one PB ticket for today and my one MM ticket for Tuesday's draw.

Just the second prize of either is a big win.

The jackpot, even a better win.

Let's see how it goes.

Good luck to all.

I believe winning the lottery jackpot is a 💯 % factor of luck.

I believe that most people that have won the jackpot did not have a lucky run that built up to their win.

Something like one week they matched 2 numbers, a few weeks later 3 numbers, a month later 4 numbers and after a while the jackpot.

They most probably are players just like you and me who one day got luck on their side and woke up on the other side of the rich list 😁
