156 as of right now, including PPS, PPSE, and, of course, PPS-MEGA.

Truly a lucky guy, but it does happen sometimes...

https://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=103235

At the time that prime was discovered, it was the largest known GFN, the first ever n=19 GFN, and the 13th largest known prime.

It was my 16th GFN-19 task. I had only started running GFN-18 5 days earlier, and then switched after two days to GFN-19 as a result of this forum post by John. So it took all of 3 days to find. :)

____________
Please do not PM me with support questions. Ask on the forums instead. Thank you!

My lucky number is 75898524288+1

He was also lucky finding it before New Year (28 Dec) so that the old announcement policy applied. The first megaprime which is not officially announced, is 48273828^131072+1 (Johnny Rotten, 09 Jan). /JeppeSN

Yeah, it was the megaprime that some of us had been searching on December before the change of announcement policy. Now PPS megaprimes are not of interest to get PDF announcements. The recent badge idea is nice though.

I did ~3000 "megatests" between PPS and GFN17 on December, but nothing came out.
