  When comparing that nauseatingly  slow climb of MM against the pleasing pace  of PB; If both should continue to rollover:  Which of the two will be the first to cross that titanium threshold of $1B ?

  With the Mega Millions jackpot at half a billion dollars it is finally attracting attention and growing.  The most recent jackpot increase was 19% over last draw.  Powerball's most recent increase over last draw was 12%.  Based on the current MM jackpot amount, if it were to continue to roll, it should easily reach one billion before the PB jackpot would.  However, if given jackpots of equivelant levels it appears PB edges MM in jackpot increases.

  Current runs;

  MM Jackpot (in millions)	Jackpot increase over previous draw	PB Jackpot (in millions)	Jackpot increase over previous draw
  540	19%
  454	9%
  415	6%
  390	7%
  363	9%
  333	7%
  310	6%
  293	5%
  280	8%
  260	4%
  251	7%
  235	8%
  218	7%
  203	9%
  187	7%
  174	8%
  161	7%
  150	9%		288	12%
  138	8%		257	6%
  128	8%		243	9%
  118	9%		222	9%
  108	11%		203	10%
  97	9%		184	9%
  89	11%		169	10%
  80	11%		153	9%
  72	11%		141	15%
  65	14%		123	12%
  57	14%		110	10%
  50	16%		100	11%
  43	23%		90	13%
  35	17%		80	14%
  30	20%		70	17%
  25	25%		60	20%
  20	33%		50	25%
  15			40

    I'm feeling a $312,000,000.00 jackpot win coming my way!

  If neither gets won, then Mega will rise to 1 Billion first. That said, I'm winning Mega tonight and everyone will cash in their mega tickets tomorrow and buying Powerball with it so that'll be won tomorrow. By the end of the year or early next year, we'll see Powerball reach a billion.

  My vote is Powerball because Mega Millions hit their $540 million jackpot in the last draw.

  I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the PB to win the largest PB jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars!

  I was RIGHT !!!  MM did NOT reach $1 Billion, b/c the $540M  Jackpot has been HIT by someone in Indiana !!!
