I didn’t point this out before Wednesday’s drawing because I didn’t want to spook people, but some folks noticed anyway that the jackpot estimate that night was $6.66 million. We even heard from people who asked if we could change the estimate so “that number” wouldn’t be involved in the drawing. The short answer was no, we couldn’t adjust the jackpot simply because some people are superstitious about that number. The jackpot estimate is based on actual sales, so it remained unchanged heading into Wednesday’s drawing.
There was no jackpot winner Wednesday night, so Hot Lotto’s big prize has climbed to an estimated $6.71 million for tomorrow night’s drawing. That’s better, right?
