Huh A digital billboard along I-90/94 highway in Chicago, displays the estimated Mega Millions jackpot on Fri- day. No one won Saturday night’s drawing, so the jackpot has increased to $1.6 billion. Huge lottery prizes due to simple math, with a few surprises By SCOTT MCFETRIDGE Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa — For all the anticipa- tion about whether some- one will finally snag the gigantic Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots, the games come down to two things: simple math — and very long odds. But there are some quirks and surprises about the math equa- tions that likely will soon vault someone into strato- spheric wealth after the jackpots grew for months without a winner. What are the jackpots? The biggest quirk starts with this fact: The adver- tised $1.6 billion Mega Millions prize — the world’s largest ever lottery jackpot — and $620 mil- lion Powerball prize aren’t quite real. That is, those are the amount you’d be paid if you chose an annu- ity, doled out over 29 years. Nearly every win- ner opts for cash, which is the amount of money the lottery folks actually have in the bank ready to pay out to the company that would fund the annuity. The cash option is still massive, at $904 million for Mega Millions and $354.3 million for Pow- erball. But those numbers aren’t displayed across billboards and shown in countless mini marts across America. Potential combinations The dismal odds of winning the Mega Mil- lions jackpot — 1 in 302.5 million — means there are 302.5 million poten- tial number combinations, or a little less than one combination for all 328 million people living in the U.S. For last Friday’s drawing, about 59 percent of possible combinations were taken. But by Tues- day night’s drawing, offi- cials estimate that 75 per- cent will be sold. That would mean a 25 percent chance of no win- ner. If that happens, it’s likely even more combi- nations would be covered before the next drawing three days later. Officials don’t have an estimate on how many tickets would be sold for that potential drawing, and they hav- en’t said how large the estimated prize would be. Could it reach $2 billion? The odds of winning Powerball are 1 in 292.2 million. As the prize rises, so do winner numbers The odds of winning don’t change as jackpots get larger, but the chance that more than one win- ner will share the prize do. When so many people rush to play as a jackpot soars, the chances increase that two or three tickets — of the millions of tickets sold — will match. Of the five largest jackpots awarded in the U.S., three went to multiple winners. The largest single prize went to a 2017 player from Massa- chusetts who celebrated a $758.7 million Powerball payday. What are the odds? If the odds of win- ning either Mega Mil- lions or Powerball don’t seem gigantic enough, how about winning them both? Spend $4 on a ticket for each game and it could happen. But the odds aren’t especially favorable, at about 1 in 88 quadrillion (that’s 88,000,000,000,000,000). For Mega Millions, players choose six num- bers: five from a range of white balls, numbered 1 to 70, and one number for the Mega Ball, with a range of 1 to 25. What numbers have come up most? Since 2010, that honor goes to the number 2, with 92 hits, followed by the numbers 20, 11, 31 and 17. The most hit Mega Ball num- ber is 9. Lottery officials are quick to point out that the number selection is ran- dom, so there’s no reason that what hit in the past will be selected again. The game also has changed over the years, so some numbers included weren’t always in the mix. Lucky states Not surprisingly, the most Mega Million jack- pot winners in the past five years have come from states with the largest pop- ulations. New York, with the nation’s fourth-larg- est population, leads with seven winners. The No. 1 population state of Cali- fornia is second in Mega Millions winners with six, while Illinois is third with four winners. Still, there are some quirks, as Georgia has the eighth-largest popu- lation and three winners and Washington state has two winners, but only the 13th largest population. Texas has the nation’s sec- ond-largest population, yet players have only bought winning Mega Millions tickets in the state twice in the past five years. And let’s hear it for Rhode Island, the smallest popu- lation state to have won a Mega Millions jackpot in the past five years. America is No. 1 For those with an inter- national bent, the current Mega Millions jackpot has surpassed all lottery jackpot records — so it’s not only the largest lot- tery prize in U.S. his- tory, it’s now the world’s largest. The annual El Gordo national lottery in Spain advertises a larger total prize pool, but the money is divvied up into many prizes, according to Seth Elkin, a spokesman for the Maryland lottery, which currently takes questions about the Mega Millions drawing.
