  My vote will reach over $1 Billion dollars, but in the end only one ticket hits the winning jackpot!

  I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the PB to win the largest PB jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars! I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the Mega Ball to win the largest Mega Millions jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars!

  Is that your fantasy, ressuccess  -- winning that much of a jackpot?  Personally, I would be happier with less because I prefer to live under the wire.

  Power Ball always has the chance to reach a billion or higher. There could be more than one winning ticket when it hits. Are you OK with sharing?

  It's only reached a billion one time.  It will always be PB and never MM because of the 2 buck ticket.  If you look at the run up to the winning draw, the pot was increasing hundreds of millions:

  
  Wednesday, January 13, 2016    $1.5864 Billion
  Saturday, January 9, 2016      $949.8 Million
  Wednesday, January 6, 2016  $524.1 Million
  Saturday, January 2, 2016     $355.8 Million
  Wednesday, December 30, 2015    $301.8 Million
  Saturday, December 26, 2015    $255 Million
  Wednesday, December 23, 2015  $227 Million

  Once it hit 355 million, it went nuts. Did the holidays contribute to it? 

  I'm more than happy to share a jackpot - even a small one. Bird in the hand and all that...

  Redd55, ouch that last Powerball draw was a jackpot winning ticket, a double number (9), and a California Super Lotto Plus pick!

  I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the PB to win the largest PB jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars!

  Well this past week a winning ticket hit.  So it won't.  I don't think we will see a billion in a while if we do.  I didn't realize that there was a winning ticket until yesterday.

  I remember in the early -- mid 90s when people went nuts when a jackpot went over $200 million.  Those were simpler times...
