Weak Powerball Sales?Reply
There's no such things as a free lunch. Do you think they plan to give somebody that starting jackpot out of their own wallets? The starting jackpot had a cash value of about $24.8 million and they sold just under $33 million worth of tickets. That means that their sales only contributed $10.4 million to the cash they had for paying that jackpot. If somebody had won, MUSL would have had to pony up the extra $14.4 million. The next drawing added almost $12 million to the cash jackpot, giving t

It seems that it is better to marry 3 digits and play them daily and your probability to hit at least three times a month. So if one can choose 3 digits that will more than likely come together your chances of winning should increase. Now which 3 digits? Any help wud be appreciated...

Lottery jackpots may get biggerReply
The state lotteries predictably increase the odds against lottery players in order to raise massive jackpots whichwas capped at around 180+ million The euromillions odd in Europe have gone up from 1/80m to 113m.Additionally, they raised the prize of tickets prior to that. I stopped playing it and just settled for the main lotto. I will be more than happy with 1 million jackpot and 185 million will just make crazy.

'Ordinary' Louisiana couple claims $1M Powerball prizeReply
I support your last statement 100%! It is far too early to make these enormous assumptions that sales have plummeted. As I mentioned in my earlier post regarding this, trends suggest that players take a break after chasing a growing jackpot and someone wins it. I track every imaginable facet of the lottery game - lol. I think over the next few plays if no one wins we can measure any discernable changes positively or negatively to determine the impact of the controversial cost increase.

"What If Lotteries Were Made Illegal"Reply
Numbers , The Number , or Policy still exists today. Outlawing lotteries would definitely increase it - a player is going to find the action, and the Outfit knows this all too well. I grew up in Northern New Jersey (way later than the early 1900s!) and it was a very common sight to see kids go into a candy store, by a newspaper (they were 5 or 10 cents then), open it to the next to last page to see the last three dollar digits at the racetrack and either say, Yea! or Aw s*** . The trac

From the Article: The Powerball game underwent several enhancements last month to create bigger jackpots, more millionaires and better odds of winning. In addition to a price increase to $2 per play, the game's match-5 prize quadrupled from $200,000 to $1 million. It didn't QUADRUPLE it QUINTUPLED! LOL .... Just thought I would point that out.

Lottery jackpots may get biggerReply
I doubt we'll see very many, if any, billion dollar jackpots. The odds of a rollover in the last jackpot were about 66% (Poisson distribution randomized calculation). The odds of it getting to $336 million were lower than this. The odds of rollovers decrease as sales increase, but even if three more drawings had the same level as the last, we would have had barely a 25% chance of reaching one billion beginning with a $325 million jackpot. By the way the expectation value on this last jackpot
