I like your new icon, TSC.

I'm like you.

And, Guru, man I wasn't making fun of you. Just making conversation. Something I guess I'm not suppose to do here, since some feel I can't follow one.

So far it is up to $230 million. I thought it would be hit already. I wonder if it will roll again or be won tomorrow.

True. IMO, I don't think it will make it $400 million anytime soon, but it would be cool if it did. But to me it doesn't matter how high the jackpot get. I would love to win any of the sizes, from the $15 million jackpot to $350 million doesn't matter.

Conventional thinking says that things have a way of balancing out over time. The last 3 years are just balancing the spate of PA winners that came before that.

Well, my guess is just as good as the next guy's really. Since I'm not psychic, I'm might as well be optimistic. Either way, I sure hope I win it this time around. It's at $133M right now with a $65.1M cash option. That's $46.6M after taxes for me here in Indiana. Sure would be nice.

i'm not jealous that other states are winning and PA is not...i'm simply amazed by seeing the number of winners on the webiste for powerball...PA ALWAYS has the most sales, the most total winners and yet it has been three years and no JACKPOT hit....i thought it will be less than three years between hits in PA....before that i remember it hit like three times within two months in PA (around 2002-3?)...i guess the lottery will always prove conventional thinking wrong....178 my guess

I second Benmas opinion! PA is simply giving money away to the south and to the west. Its time we bring it home where I can spend it best!!

The powerball will increase dramatically once the Mega hits! Seems folks flock to the highest jackpot after the other one is hit. I chose 'tween 150/170 since that is just two draws away.

$1,000,000 is enough for me. Also $15,000,000 is about $5,000,000 cash after taxes. I say $300,000,000 and up! $300,000,000 to $350,000,000.

Course after I say that it will probably be hit Sat.

ok. 15 million is enough for me as well, but I was wondering how high others thought the jackpot would get.

wise man, and also since there is not a mad rush for tickets at that level your chances of not splitting jackpot (if you make it) are better...consider also powerplay....also there were 4 people who split the 360 mill MEGA jackpot in august..thats the same as only one hitting at the 85 mill dollar level..

In my book, 15 million is 'enough', the size of the jackpot does not dictate how I play.

Even if it does get won tonight (and I'm not sure if it will or will not), it will be higher than the estimated jackpot (the advertised jackpot) because sales shoot through the roof when the pot gets bigger like it is now. Some people will only play if the pot gets over the 100 million mark. And the dedicated few, like myself, tend to go overboard when they get higher. This draw doesn't particularly interest me in one way and in another it has me on the edge of my seat. On the one hand, I tend t... [ More ]

Powerball isn't as high as Mega Millions right now, but in my opinion $100 million is still a high jackpot. How big do you think the jackpot will get this round
