Maryland Lottery:
Powerball and MegaMillions Jackpots

Yes, Powerball and MegaMillions jackpots are a LOTTA LOTTA money!

After the Powerball and MegaMillions jackpots both surpassed a billion dollars in the span of a couple years, any jackpot falling short of that that stratospheric number became less impressive and less motivating to players. Hard to get excited about a measly $500 million. But should it be? Clearly, jackpots that size aren’t measly at all. They’re pro-athlete, mega-contract amounts of money. They’re blockbuster-movie amounts of money. They’re amounts that should still stop you in your tracks.

So, that’s what we did. We literally stopped people in their tracks, re-energized the appeal of that amount of money and redefined the way to describe it.

A Powerball or MegaMillions jackpot well into the hundreds of millions is not just a lot of money.

It’s a LOTTA LOTTA money.
