Initial estimate for Wednesday's drawing is 1.3 billion



Likely much higher. The $1.3b estimate is working off of the sales numbers for this drawing and assuming they are the same. They'll obviously be much more. Also, I doubt the jackpot was $900m. They stopped updating it at $900, but by the time the drawing was held, it was likely around $1b.

If no winners (not likely), then Wednesday's will be near $1.75b - $2b when it's all said and done.

Wanna bet on it? There is no way in hell it would only bump up $200m from the current estimate. This week's bumped higher than that.

What would the reaction be if an illegal Mexican won it or even if one of those Maslum refugees?

The account cited clearly has the name @AndrewAvery_2. It may still be true, but the most famous one going around is clearly a fake

The final tally was $949.8. It'll hit $2b, watch.

How is that even possible?



Because they upped the odds to 1 in 300 million from the already insane 1 in 175 million.


As long as we suckers keep buying at 1 in 300 million odds & 2 dollars a pop.........


It's like randomly pulling a single Social Security number from all 300 million plus American citizens.

Someone (seems like a random person) is claiming that there is a winner in Illinois

I mean, is it even mathematically possible to not have a winner tonight? If it is, I'm sure the odds rival that of actually winning the thing.

There was about a 15-20% chance of there NOT being a winner.

No jackpot winners, they said they had 6 - million dollar winners. No jackpot winner from Iowa either.

Still, leaves a shite ton of money out there

How? Do their quick picks not cover all possibilities? Surely close to 300,000,000 quick picks were bought?

Problem with that thinking is you're assuming quick picks won't double or triple up on combinations
