Enough with this idiotism!Reply
Let tomorrow decide....Allthough why should I become a believer? you still have 1:1,000,000 or whatever odds of winning. So what does it prove?I know what! that you're a one lucky guy! Nothing else.Prove me wrong and guess the number I'm thinking right now!That will make a believer out of me

165m if no winnerReply
I predict Powerball will lose a state six months after every time Powerball hits the $150,000,000+ mark. People play for the Grand Prize, not the 2nd tier prizes. Duh! I think they would be better off going to a Lotto Texas prize pool (with a slight increase in odds) then going with the route they are appearently going now.

Texas P3 Players
Hi,I need a little help with the pick 3. Have anyone won lately and what methods are you using to select your number? Is there any other software that can help narrow the odds?

Only 138 Million!?Reply
I think some of the negative posts probably have to do with the fact that the people at Big Game Mega Millions promissed higher growing jackpots, and jackpots up to $500 Million before they ever got that high. Now that we have the first real big jackpot, we're seeing that it's not growing much faster than it was under Big Game. I think people feel let down by that. Especially since they almost doubled the odds.

Complaining about Powerball's changes?Reply
I disagree. If you want lesser prizes play the smaller state only lotteries (if your state has one). The whole idea behind Mega Millions and Powerball is insanely large jackpots. Hence the insanely horrible odds of winning.Even the lowest prize is harder to win.

Proposed Michigan Millions ChangesReply
$5 Million seems like a low cap. Isn't the current MI Millions jackpot around $22 Million? What happens if it gets to $5 Million and no one continues to win for like another 10 drawings? Would second place then be worth $4 Million? I guess they'd have to make the odds pretty low to almost insure a winner.

Anybody find out the Powerball changes?Reply
That is insain logic, but that may be it. So, when the PB states start flooding NY for MegaMillions tickets, will MegaMillions put in a $25,000,000 cap? Most people play for the grand prize. I'm surprise the PB power play option is as successful as it is....or isn't. Even with the increased odds, PB will never have a $250,000,000 jackpot ever again. This is gonna' kill there sales when there MM neighbors have bigger jackpots 65+% of the time.

Anybody find out the Powerball changes?Reply
I live not far from Greenwich, CT (though I usually play in Danbury, near I-84.) I'm guessing the CT Lottery wanted some kind of jackpot limit because Greenwich is overrun by players from the NYC area when PB gets big. Also, MUSL probably thinks Mega Millions has too high jackpot odds while limiting second prize to 175k.

Anybody find out the Powerball changes?Reply
All extra money should go back to the jackpot pool. This $25million increase cap is bs. Oh, and for those who care.. the exact odds are 1:120,526,770.And increasing the annuity to 30 years is bs too. Long live Cash Only! This is even more reason NOT to choose annuity and to take the cash and run.
