Interesting how the graph goes exponential. People see it's worth a lot and buy more tickets.


Getting closer to the territory where 32-bit signed integer overflow becomes more likely. Do they ever project the new jackpot if no one wins in advance of the drawing?


What's the possibility that it's due to a hacker breaching into one of the state's system?


Hmm... Maybe an auditor showed up that wasn't on their payroll?
