Wouldn't that be something: To Win both of them this Weekend (12/29 MM, 12/30 PB)...

Guru101 You are definitely a dreamer like many of us here at LP. Your question is appropriate. "What if?" The media would have a field day. This news would travel around the world.

I haven't done the math, but it feels as if MM has been hit sooner than would be expected over the past couple of years or so. Of course the odds of winning were better than PB, but it seems to have had a hard time producing really big jackpots. Still, now that the odds are steeper than for PB, and especially considering that PB is selling more tickets, probability says that PB is more likely to be hit on any particular drawing.

Depending on what the actual jackpots would be, there's perhaps a 10 to 33% chance we'll see PB advertised at a billion or more. For MM the chances are a bit smaller, perhaps 7 to 25%. That makes the chance of both of them hitting a billion or more between about 0.7% and 8%. Unlikely, but not unrealistic.

My vote is Mega Millions because they'll hit their jackpot first in 2018!

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

PB increased by $56 million this last time around. If it rolls again this Wed, it shd go up to $500 million. That's over $300 million take home after fed taxes. Nice!

Nix that. Forgot a couple of steps. Let's leave it as it will be a hell of a lot of money.

It's similar to the football games in the National Football League in the playoffs. It's win or go home. Each team gets one possession each. The game ends if the first possession is a touchdown by the offense or the defense team gets a safety. The next team scores the next possession wins the football game if they exchange field goals or punts in their opening possession!
