Has the Lottery Expansion Changed the Jackpot Sizes? (Lottery Trivia Question 2010-08)

This week's Lottery Trivia Question is about Mega Millions and Powerball.

Our Trivia Question #2010-08 is: 
At the end of January 2010, both Powerball and Mega Millions began selling their games in each other's states, but did not change the format of the games. Since it is now nearly three months later, we wondered:
  • How has the increased playing population affected the jackpot winning frequencies?
  • Have the average jackpots gotten smaller?
  • What is the average growth of the jackpot prizes?
  • Which game appears to be more popular?
Enter your answer by leaving a Comment to this post below. Leave your name, and if you have a website or blog, provide it's URL and name.

We will provide the correct answer next Monday, April 26th, and will post your name and a URL link back to your site.

Welcome

The purpose of this blog is to bring you a variety of articles focused on sharing Lottery Specific Topics that will better help you understand your chances of winning the large Mega Millions, Powerball, Lotto 649, Super 7, Euromillions, etc. jackpots.

We intend to post new articles on a Bimonthly (every 2 month) basis, but may add content more frequently. Examples of topics that we will address include: Do all combinations have an equal probability of winning?; Where does the money go?; What combinations occur most frequently and why? Should I take a lump sum payment or annuity?; and more.

Our blog is open to your comments. If you have a lottery related question that needs to be researched, please suggest it. If you know of interesting research sites that we should add, tell us. If you want to contribute an article, let us know. The only rules that we will impose are: (1) Keep it clean; and (2) Don't ask for lottery results (you can get that elsewhere). We hope you will enjoy reading our articles and participate in our growth. .... J.L.
