If you won a large amount of money...Reply
Ya, but winning a 6/49 game 3 times in a few years would be like 25,000,000 x 25,000,000 x 25,000,000. Much much worst odds then winning 135,000,000 x 135,000,000 in one year. Unless you have a billion dollar bank account.

Are you sure that's not 'urban legend'? No body can win a type of 6/49 jackpot 3 times. Well, if he played $10,000 a week for a life time and live to be 100 years old, it could happen. Twice in a year, ok, that could happen, but not 3 times. There are better odds of hitting the MegaMillions game twice in a year then winning 3 6/49 jackpots in.....how many years?

No winners in Michigan :(Reply
Ok...I can see the jackpot...but come on no $175,000 winners..before we switched to Mega Millions we had $150,000 winners every drawing. The odds only increased by a couple hundred thousand to match the five white balls. Let's hope this jackpot reaches at least $200,000,000.

mega millions input::: please add !!Reply
PowerPlay will be retained; the minimum multiplier will be 2x. Power Surge will be an occasional gimmick (at no extra cost) where second prize will pay much more than the usual second prize (don't know the new prize levels yet.) I'm predicting Powerball will have 1 in 120m-140m odds come October.

idea
lets combine the powerball and mega millions sign up our 50 states, make the odds 1:250,000,000 with second tier prize of $350,000, include a powerplay option, and lets see jackpots rise to $1 Billion or $333,000,000 after cash option and taxes or you can take $1 Billion in 25 installments of $40 MILLION before taxes

CASH Only,Have you heard anything on exactly what the changes will be? Will Power Surge be involved or even the new name? MUSL had a survey posted in their website about a month ago asking if we would play a $2 version of Powerball with jackpots starting at $20 Million. Do you think they change the cost to $2 and raise the odds to maybe 100 Million to 1?

7 out of 9 states have $175,000 winnersReply
It is about time something that this happened. I find it funny though that Illinois and Michigan were the two states that didn't have a $175,000 winner and these two states used to have the most winners in the old Big Game. I am from Michigan and I have noticed a dip in those prizes even though the odds from matching 5 in the old Big Game to matching 5 in Mega Millions have only changed a couple hundred thousand.

5 days until Powerball comes to PennsylvaniaReply
i dont want no stupid game with odds of 135 million. no sir. 80 million to 1 is high enough. high jackpots like 300 mil is a lot but i would love to hit 5 mil. if someone cant live off 5 mil for the rest of their life they are foolish!
