As if you would tell us..!!

I don't know what NJ is putting in their kebabs, soups or just plain ol rice pudding but this streak of their's is downright phenomenal..

Come to think of it- the LP had/has its HQ in NJ, do l see a pattern developing here..lottery wins, lottery HQ?

* this is a hmmm moment.

In my old town, I know the owner of the store where the 258M powerball jackpot was sold in 2005, but the second largest prize sold was only about 50k

Was'nt me, I just checked my ticket I had 1 #

You may be right about the high concentration of tix.

We certainly have a lot of outlets, yesterday was the 1st time in years I had to wait in line for tickets,

there were 2 people in front of me. LOL

Then when the 1st one was done the clerk took my bet slips 1st cause he knew my transaction would take less then a minute,

while the other person (also a regular) would take a long time.

Someone from NJ bagged 2nd place again last night. Is it the high concentration of tickets purchased in the State or what?

This is a complete head scratcher for me.When will this circle be broken

Yesterday on the evening news they reported New Jersey had a total of 3 Powerball winners. Pennsylvania 16 Powerball winners and Indiana 11 Powerball winners. New Jersey seems to do better with Mega Millions.

Rumor has it that MUSL is changing the name of Powerball to Jersey Millionaires Fund.

Can't figure it out either. With so many States playing it seems the concentration of wealth from the lottery is being dumped in NJ.

Hope it's to some who lost everything to Sandy.

i think some states that has never won before should win have many winners would be fair

or just indiana

It really does not matter folks. Awhile back, it was Ohio that was winning AA lot of the big Mega Millions jackpots. Indiana had a good run at Powerball. New York and California also had good trending luck. Same with Pennsylvania (I remember seeing a few Bentleys as I drove through PA a few years ago and thought Must be a lucky jackpot winner! ).

I would say it is more likely someone living in a densely populated state will win just because more lottery tickets are purchased in a state like

I'm convinced I could win if I bought tickets in Jersey. Anyone up for a road trip? I'll split the winnings with whoever drives.

Perhaps- but you talking about past streaks. Consider this: since California joined in the PB game in April, we have yet to nail the grand prize.

The same thing has been said of California when it had a streak of MM winners. Some even thought they would do the same thing with PB, but I guess any decent size state can have a streak of winners.

l concur Ronnie, l just think that NJ has had an incredible run so far this year, infact Florida is a close 2nd. l hear the talk about more players back East and so forth, given the odds- even the US Virgin Islands should be winning more- but NJ at present has its fingers in the lottery cookie jar.. imo.

If Thrifty ever decides to cross state lines and buy a ticket in NJ he is sure to be the jackpot winner.

Is New Jersey one of the luckiest States for either Jackpot winners or what?

noise-gate — Sun, 28 Jul 2013 21:46:49 GMT

NJ has been cashing in like no other State Lately. They bagged 2nd prize again last night- whether it was Pedro who started this trend or another, they sure have had more than their share of winners and runner up's as well. All the Best to the winners!!

Side Question: Has anyone won the Main Prize to your knowledge after winning 2nd prize, whether recent or in the distant past? l can think of none.
