Powerball at $2.00 - If play, how mouch have you won?Reply
I hit $4 the first time the 7 dropped funny thing is a few other people I know hit then too, all on QPs. It was as if the powerball of 7 was given and selected as a 'boost' to morale. I don't buy any more than 3 tickets most of the time -- for PB that is. I now go out of my way to buy MORE MM tix since they are still priced as they should be. When the JP for PB goes really high around 150m or more I buy more tix, and we do a 4 person lotto pool at work when it's 200m or more.

From the Powerbal website FAQ page: HOW COME THE ONLY JACKPOT WINNERS ARE FROM THE [EAST - WEST - NORTH - SOUTH - CITIES - RURAL AREAS]? HOW COME ONLY [WHITE, BLACK, TALL, SKINNY, YOUNG, OLD] PEOPLE WIN? Powerball is a random game that knows nothing about who buys a ticket or where a ticket is purchased. There really is no white/black/old/young/rich/poor, etc.] button on the machine. If one draws a box around some group of players (eg., state border, hair color, shoe size), then that gr

Weak Powerball Sales?Reply
As you indicated the odd's have not changed for getting the first 5 white balls. So to kick in an extra buck to get a guaranteed $1 Mill. if you score all white balls is a great deal to me! When PB was $1 dollar ticket you got the same $1 million guarantee with Powerplay and the Megaplier too with MM having less odds against matching 5+0. Not to toot my horn, but I hit all 5 white balls already in 07 under the old Powerrball, to receive $200K. Had I Power played I would have doubled tha

Weak Powerball Sales?Reply
No, I'm one of the guys who don't believe you have a better chance to win. You tell me, did cutting the number of bonus balls help you get the first 5 necessary to make the bonus ball worth something? The odds of picking 5 of 59 didn't change, did it? Are their more winners? Newp. On December 14, 2011 when the jp was $78 million there was 684,325 winning tickets. On January 18, 2012 when the jackpot was $80 million there were 500,911 winning tickets. Wouldn't you think there would

Cash Vs Annuity PaymentsReply
KY Floyd made a good input with his estimated payouts. In Powerball annuities increase every year by 4%. Actual sums become 100% sure after only after are all paid out, it should be noted. We do not know future interest rates either, but those appear to be on zero level, even negative real rates appears to exist, supporting gold. Since most people do choose cash option, they must be 100% certain they can gain themself much more what having simple annuity plan providing it all au

Weak Powerball Sales?Reply
LOL... Tell that to the guy bragging about selling more gas. Last year for a $60 million jackpot Texas had sales of $25,905,601, not including the powerplay. Same jackpot this year Texas sold $32,766,344, not including the powerplay. Last year there were 25,905,601 tickets were sold. This year 16,383,172 tickets were sold. About 9000000 less tickets sold. 9000000 lost sales. 9000000 million less customers. Nope. Sales are not up. The price increase just fools you. Just ask t
