LANSING, MI – Lottery players across the country seem to have hit a wall with their enthusiasm for huge jackpot jackpots.
Despite estimates by Powerball officials, the jackpot from Saturday, October 27 evening to Saturday, October 27 would be $ 750 million. When the drawing was released, it was announced that the new estimate was only $ 687 million.
And while it's still a $ 85 million jump since the draw on Wednesday night, it was a long way from the $ 750 million Powerball jackpot that led to the draw. This is the second time this week that a Powerball jackpot lacks the estimated value before the draw.
On Wednesday, the jackpot was supposed to be worth at least $ 625 million, but announced at $ 602 million. It was of course a night after the draw of the near-world record Mega Millions, worth $ 1.537 billion.

The Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots have never been more valuable, causing a lottery frenzy over the last two weeks. However, casual gamers may have reached their financial limits as sales of the last two Powerball jackpots have been much slower than expected.
Although sales were not as large as expected, a $ 687 million jackpot remains the fourth-largest lottery jackpot in US history. The next draw on Powerball is scheduled for Wednesday, October 31st.
