  Do you think Powerball or Mega Millions will ever get back ovewr $300 million?

  I've redone my website.  Go to www.dr-ew.com.  I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff.  Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks.

  I would give it at least a year. Granted Both games have seen $200 million+ jackpots in 2004, there are too many states and too big a population for the jackpot to be hit.  The only way for either of those games to reach $300 million again is for so many states to join that the starting jackpot will have to be increased, and for huge rollovers to occur.

  I voted one to two years because it would have to be a special run since we have more states in the powerball to break the record.  I would hope it would happen this year but with the increase in more players I don't think it is going to happen for awhile.

    Yeah, I'd have to say within 1-2 years as well.  Only three times in history has a Powerball or Mega Millions (back when it was known as "The Big Game") jackpot went above $300 million.

  i doubt it.  with texas still feeling the effects of the huge lotto texas jackpot, i think they will have a jackpot winner by next friday's drawing.

  Runaway jackpot cycle that will bust loose during second half of the year for Powerball. I'll go with $330+ Million. Going on two years now and there's an eerie "feeling in the wind" that we're on the precipice of something truly extraordinary. The time is nigh.

  I have to agree with Todd. I think that Megamillions is due and due right now. (It's 11:30 pm on Friday, so I probably should wait until tonites results are posted before posting these comments!!!) But never the less, my prediction is that MM will not be won until 7/6/04 and it will be over 300 Million by then.

    The Mega Millions jackpot did roll over tonight.  It is now $210 million!

    http://www.illinoislottery.com/numbers.htm was the first website to post this.  For some weird reason, The Illinois Lottery website is faster at posting MM payout information than the official Mega Millions website itself.

  $300M+ jackpot?  Could happen real soon if MegaMillions rolls over 2 or 3 more times, but I and thousands of other lottery players will be trying to stop that run this Tuesday.  A $210M jackpot is enough for me.

  too many states in PB now... I would guess Mega will produce the next big one...

  do they put the brakes on rampant MM rollovers like the powerball does? if not, then I agree with todd... it has all the makings of a big run...

  Have an EXCELlent day!

  they do not do that, and powerball should not do that either.
