Re: Estimated jackpot $356 million

Had a friend tell me (though I have not spent the time to verify it) that they're estimating that the jackpot will actually be worth another $100M before the drawing.

Re: Estimated jackpot $356 million

With all these tickets being bought, the odds of another rollover have to be pretty low, but... could you imagine if it did? They'd probably start estimating the next one at $1 billion minimum.

Heard it was $970M at drawing time, so yeah, easily. But I'm betting someone won this one and sadly, it wasn't me.

Re: Estimated jackpot $356 million

Looks like three tickets will split a $640M jackpot.....

Re: Estimated jackpot $356 million

I read a report that someone spent like $2,500 on tickets from last night.

This comes to mind when I read this.

If he had bought all 175 million possible combinations he would have made a profit.

Around 30, and no one couldn't have just asked for 176 million quick picks, the systems would make repeats.
