  Mega Millions has 9 states in it. Powerball has what....23? How come MM increases so much faster than Powerball? 23 states to 9 should offset the population differences? Or is it still the population?

  The population of the MM states is higher than the combined population of MUSL members.

  California has better odds and bigger jackpots. Go figure!
