Powerball Matrix Change?Reply
lotteries are actually making an attempt to listen to players (or so they say). it looks like PA did well with match 6 (it's a fun game, even though i have yet to win at it.), but the players did not like lucky for life lotto (i think they expected it to be more like WA's or OR's, which would probably generate more sales.). it seems as if the players are asking the lotteries to consider matrix changes to powerball and mega millions. both the lotteries and the players want bigger jackpots, and th

Indiana's response to my e-maikReply
If there are no tricks then go back to balls! I have enough tickets here to prove the odds dont happen here. I am bankrupt because of it! When I see all my tickets and then check the Indiana payout screen it confirms everything Jim and I have said. My question, why are the payouts so low for a 16 year lottery. Why does Indiana lead the nation in Bankruptcy. The ticket scandal we had prettty much confirms everyones opinion that things are not right. We need TV coverage!Help Oprah, Montel, Maury!

Now that's a hard act to follow. The article site was up and running tonight so I risked my positive attitude and read it. As usual it was nothing more then sad-sack nonsense about getting struck by lightning we've seen before.

Powerball won AGAIN!!Reply
I don't mind the low jackpots. I want to remind you all that this is an odds game. The recent winning might explain if the jackpot does not get won for a long time. It just might be setting itself up for a record jackpot ever in powerball. I say prep your numbers. It might be a one time thing.I hope I win before the increase the matrix. I am sure all these 18 million winners are as happy as a 100 million winners.

...Why "Lottery Systems" Don't Work
It is very tempting to play the lottery. Just last week, there was a lottery in my area that had a grand prize of $110 Million! What you could do with all that money. Unfortunately, the odds of winning that prize were 1 in 54.9 Million. In other words, you'd be more likely to get hit by lightning or die in a plane crash than win. So, it's really a sucker bet. But, still, it's fun to play. More text here:...Why lottery systems don t workJust thought this text was of interest even though we perha

Streak of jackpot winners is bad luck for Powerball lottery salesReply
I understand that. I like thinking about the possibilities of having $300 million after taxes as much as anyone. If the jackpot makes it way up there, very exciting. But at the same time, I think $10 - 40 million is a huge amount of money as well, so I am okay with seeing someone win that, especially beating 120 million to 1 odds to do it. As for the states making less than expected, unless you work for the lottery or state, it's hard to be sympathetic toward them. Quote: Originally posted by T

To INCREASE sales REDUCE the PB MatrixReply
Think about it the lottory is trying to sell me a ticket. by raising the oddsi would buy less tickets. make the lower teir prize worth moreand i might buy more tickets. the odds of hitting a jackpot is almost imppossibleand i want to win . the lottory is makeing plenty of money. i say keep thejackpot low and raise the lower teir prizes this generates interest. weare all in it to win , not to just give our money away for nothing. give some back.

Match 6 - It keeps going and going...
I just won $2 from tonights drawing (3 of 6), but I didn't win the jackpot. Fortunately nobody else did. The jackpot is now at a whopping $3,500,000. And don't scoff just yet cause that's all in cash. The odds of winning the jackpot are about 1 in 4.5 million, which is pretty good for a jackpot this size. If you haven't tried Match 6 yet, now's the time to do it.
