I Maintain that the Theory Any Powerball Combo can Win Is BSReply
All combinations are equally likely. In Powerball there is a 1 in 292 million chance of 1-2-3-4-5-6 being chosen There is also a 1 in 292 million chance of 4-8-19-27-34-10 being chosen Pointing out that 1-2-3-4-5-6 has never come up before is of exactly as much value as pointing out that 4-18-19-27-34-10 had never come up before Go ahead, run a simulation and tell us how long on average it takes for 4-18-19-27-34-10 to come up, or 18-19-20-46-51-12 or ANY other c

So, the lottery has yet to produce a single Billion Dollar Winner.Reply
Ok could you run a sim where the jackpot goes up $100m every draw, and see how high the pot gets , say %50 of the odds covered? or 150 mill tickets in the draw. or if its a free download give me a link. It's just i think the game needs massive sales to get a guaranteed winner.

$1.5 BILLION: Wednesday Powerball record jackpot still risingReply
Which is why they made it harder to win....jackpots grow quicker ( no slow climb)....and bigger....and then EVERYONE plays, not just the usual wagerers...not sure if I'll ever buy more than one ticket of PB or MM again.... I'll still play the better odds games....

$1.5 BILLION: Wednesday Powerball record jackpot still risingReply
Many will play now as it is more of a relief and less burden and you won't be so famous if you win $40 million. But it makes more sense cost wise to play MB's for better odds and only paying half as much. I would love to win the $40 million though next draw so I would be completely anonymous while they are still looking for the $1.6 billion winner. But the cost is not worth it as much as the MB now. So they would be smart not to change it.

I tell and explain to people that this lottery has horrible odds to it and I honestly thought at first no one was going to hit but after reading about so many combos yeah back to $40 million. I have better chance on megamillions. Maybe in 2 hours est they will announce which states. Know for a fact ca was one ticket but how many people.

Powerball Lottery Game Numbers 1/13/2016Reply
Played five lines with PowerPlay, each line using the bonus number 8 . While it doesn't improve my chances of winning, IF I beat the 25 to 1 bonus number odds, I'll have a 2.3 million to 1 chance of winning the jackpot.

$1.5 BILLION: Wednesday Powerball record jackpot still risingReply
This is a real possibility. Under the old odds we would have likely had a winner a week ago. Seems like we may be reaching the ceiling on ticket sales for a drawing, cause the jackpot amount hasn't increased so far today. Probably will go up at drawing time. I also suspect that a lot of people went all in on Saturday's drawing and can't spend as much for tonight's.

POWERBALL CREATES WORLD'S FIRST BILLION-DOLLAR JACKPOTReply
Actually I was hoping to win the big MM the other night so I would be completely anonymous but someone else got it. I play MM more than Powerball because of the $1.00 price and better odds. But when it is so high, or historically high like now I play PB just for the fun of it.
