From what I read, the big one right now is the MegaMillions drawings, held on Tuesday's & Friday's. They changed the odds back in September/October, and it's rolled over twenty times consecutively with no winner. They say that over 70% of the possible winning combo's will sell for tomorrow's drawing, but if it rolls again then the total for Friday will likely exceed $1 billion for the extended payout. The next PowerBall drawing is Wednesday, with the estimated payout $50MM, which I guess is chump change in the lottery world? We buy tickets only very, very rarely as we truly consider it a voluntary tax and not really a form of entertainment.
