our chances are NILReply
Forget the odds for a minute.Think of it like this...there will dventually be a winner. (And most likely multiple winners).So for $1, why not buy a ticket and have a chance?

42 Chances at Powerball $39Reply
RJOh,When the pot is this big, if you have to money to do that I definitely agree with your plan. By buying the 42 powerballs you lower your odds of winning the jackpot to 2.9 Million. Alot better than 120 Million, especially since the pot is $216M/$117M Cash.

PowerBall observationsReply
Since I believe if you have a budget of only a few dollars a week for entertainment and you chose to entertain yourself playing the lottery, then it's better to play just one. I didn't play the Megamillion last night and if I don't head over to Indiana before 5 o'clock I won't be playing the Powerball either. With two large lottery jackpots availalble, it is not a clear choice which one to play even though the Powerball has the best odds of getting something back. Good luck to anyone that d

Quick Picks versus Own NumbersReply
Quick pick are numbers placed in blocks and are looped throughout the state or the lottery in question.I am very suspicious when a persons win comes off a quick-pick ( Not saying it couldn't or shouldn't happen ) .Regardless,like any lottery ticket,you will have bought the combo but you can be assured the chances are much lower being a single winner.Quick-picks are buffers for keeping those 1000 and 1,10000 and 1 and 120,000,000 and 1 odds in the lottery's favor. lottoscorp

Michigan RolldownReply
There is no jackpot for Michigan Rolldown. If some one matches all 5 numbers they usually get around 13-15k. No if no one matches all five numbers then the money that would be used to pay the match 5 winner is split up between all those that match 4. Drawings are at 7:29 and that cut off time to purchase tickets is at 7:08. With odds of 1:7 i like Rolldown too.
