$900M is the Saturday jackpot if no one wins tonight.

This is currently the longest run of no-win jackpots in PowerBall. even the $1B prize in 2017 was done at week 23.

This time the jackpots are rising more slowly. I conjecture that the lotteries are not keeping newbie players since a newbie will almost certainly lose and not come back.

That $900m is estimated though. I feel like the Mega and Power that got that high ended up jumping quite a bit when people saw it that big.

I also suspect that you’ll get more players because the prize is so big. I know I don’t tend to get a ticket unless I see it up around $300m or more.
