Answer 1

What is the data type of jackpot column? If it is string then you need to make it float, only then < operator will be work in if statement.

$row_jackpot = (float)$row['jackpot'];
if ($row_jackpot  < 2000.00) {

      $asd = 2000.00 - $row_jackpot;
      echo "To participate you are missing".$asd;
}
