Jackpot

Please go directly to school. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Dummy! The size of the jackpot is determined by the odds of winning not the number of players this week. It won’t change. But with a choice of lotteries to play you may reduce the number of players for Mega Millions. So it will take longer for anyone to win. The odds of winning are still 1:175,711,538.
