    I highly doubt Powerball will make it to $300 million again, although you never know with that game.

    If Powerball rolls until January 7, 2006, it will probably already be $365 million for that drawing, since that is the new cap before the match 5 bonus pool takes effect.

  I think the lottery will be "fixing it" so that it is a record again.  Seems about that time. Nonetheless I will be hitting it on Jan 7th as I said awhile back.

  yeah, there'll be a record, but i don't think it'll be this particular growing jackpot.  it'll be one of the next couple after it. it'll be close, though.

  Because of Christmas I think the numbers estimated for the future Powerball drawings are a little high.  By the way, this Powerball will be won in OREGON again on December 31, 2005.  ®

  My vote is for $365 million because I want to see PB have the Bonus 5 Jackpot pool for the second time in PB history and the first one in 2006.

  Around January 20th.  My birthday!  But to be honest with, I'll take it this Saturday if it will make everyone happy! (smile)

  Here is what I posted on another thread on this subject:

  There is roughly a 52% chance, if one uses the data from the recent $340M jackpot run, that the jackpot will rollover 3 more times and approach approximately $170 million.  There is roughly an 8% chance, if sales closely track that run all the way through, of matching the $340M jackpot (which would, should it occur, probably actually be a $360M jackpot since the cap will kick in later) .  There is a 2 to 3% chance of exceeding that jackpot.

  These are the rough mathematical approximations of the situation.
