Why the jackpot figure moves
The top divisions are paid from a prize pool funded by ticket sales, so they are not fixed amounts. More tickets sold means a bigger pool, and if two people match everything they share it. That is why an advertised jackpot is always an estimate and why the amount actually paid can differ from the number on the billboard.
When nobody wins the top division the money rolls over into the next draw, which is how jackpots climb week after week. The lower divisions behave differently: several of them pay a set amount regardless of how many people win, which is why they show as fixed above.
