  I pulled the recent  top payouts for the three games and generated the following table.  Looks like powerball is a great ripoff.  Megamillions is a close second.   I concluded based on the returns  that one might be better off  playing the Illinois lotto or Luck Day if resident in illinois

  Powerball and Megamillions seem to be games one plays for the dreaming value

  I agree with you hurley1333!

  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!

  One time in Friday September 16th, 2016, one ticket in Illinois won a Mega Millions ticket won a jackpot worth $134 million dollars ($90 million cash value option) Hurley1333! Otherwise, they're horrible in both Mega Millions and PB Hurley1333!
