Powerball ticket price to increase to $3 in IdahoReply
They're really getting more brazen, ..or more Cash-strapped.. All in the midst of a reneged promise of $40 Million dollar STARTING Jackpots,.. which supposedly was their initial reasons for the $1.00 price increase yrs ago.. They're really TESTING it out in Idaho 1st to see if it'll kill ticket sales.. which it probably will...but if it doesn't ?, then git ready America, to have it rammed down our throats.. as all the other States follow suit... If they were for the Player's best intrest,

Powerball to increase to three drawings a weekReply
Why would a 62 yr. old person only play when it is 300m or more. For starters I'm not an addict and I know that the odds say I'll lose most of the money I spend on tickets. I also know that if I wanted to buy 104 tickets per year I can do that even if I only play for a single drawing. If I were to play 104 tickets all for one $400 million drawing I'd have a slightly better chance of winning a jackpot (as well as the $1 million 2nd prize) than by buying 1 ticket for each of 104 drawings,

Powerball to increase to three drawings a weekReply
I'd say they've already been greedy for along time, and they're just trying to figure out how much they can push it. It was always fairly uncommon to have a winner before the jackpot was fully funded, so going back to a $40 million starting jackpot isn't much of a risk. A larger jackpot also means bigger jackpots sooner, so I've got to figure that average ticket sales over a given period are higher with the larger starting jackpot. I think somebody decided that 3 drawings per week is a loopho

Idaho ends Powerball in state, fearing foreign participationReply
I'm thinking that regardless of whether other countries join or not, PB is going to cost more per ticket soon. They'll try to justify the increase some kind of way. I won't be playing either b/c the tix will be too expensive. What was the justification for the tickets going up in the first place the last time? Was it the economy? And then once the economy got better the tix price stayed the same. Bigger jackpots may be true but how many more people actually win now? I can't wait to see

Idaho ends Powerball in state, fearing foreign participationReply
Hmmm... 5-eye Powerball? I already have stopped playing as often as I used to because of the terrible odds. I might play once just before $150 Million and then wait until the cash amount is over a certain amount in the hundreds of millions just because the odds really are awful and nobody ever wins. When the odds get upped again I will quit totally. If Mega Millions is smart they will go back to 175 million to 1 odds and go with a $3 tik/ $2 plier ($5) ticket that people actual

Has anyone won with quick picks?Reply
All we ever see is where the Jackpot was won. There are many more almost jackpots that are not publicized. IMHO each state is competing for the Jackpot. Get your state's QP. Good luck everyone.

Dozens of lottery players across the USA hit it big in PowerballReply
I am still trying to figure out why the current Powerball game is better than the current Mega Millions. Even though I didn't have a ticket for the draw I did get excited by all the Powerball winners. The Billion dollar Mega Millions Jackpot was borrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggggg because there were so few other winners. It is hard for me to like a game that nobody wins. On the plus side at least I am not buying Mega Millions anymore on its current iteration. If you figure that

One Michigan lottery ticket wins $1 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
Too few second prize winners on a record jackpot. Why not just set the games back to 8 years ago matrixes and hold big multistate raffles once a year or every other year to get the billion dollar jackpots. For how many tickets that must have been sold here there were NO second prizes in Michigan and it has taken 4 years to get a jackpot! That is the definition of a terrible game! The MM and PB used to be much much better games. On the old matrixes there were more winners and the J

$850 MILLION: Mega Millions jackpot to spark ticket-buying frenzyReply
Then it rolls again, only to $850? According to lottoreport . com sales for the last drawing were just a hair over $227 million, which is 113.5 million tickets. That would mean that a rollover was more than twice as likely as a winner. It would also mean that the actual cash jackpot increased by about $75 million, which is well shy of the $98 million cash increase based on the advertised jackpots of 625 and 750. In turn, that would mean that the advertised jackpot couldn't have increased
