By Todd Northrop Well, that was quick. Less than 12 hours after the initial estimate for Saturday's Powerball jackpot was set early this morning, the already record-breaking grand prize has now increased to an estimated $700 million. The jackpot's estimated cash value has also been increased to $428.4 million. Saturday's jackpot will be the largest jackpot of any U.S. lottery game on record. This is truly exciting and uncharted territory, said Gary Grief, executive director of the T

New York Lotto...does it have a pulse? Rethinking It...
I never gambled with lotteries much before until a few months ago I bought some scratch-offs and I got obsessed with it for a bit until it cooled off, lost a lot of money for sure, had a few decent wins (won $500 on a scratch-off, won $5,175 in Quick Draw) and then grew tired of it except for light playing. Mega Millions and Powerball have odds that are extremely close to zero and I've not wanted to bother wasting money playing them yet they are the big draws and the moneymakers for the New Y

Illinois Lotto Jackpots 2010Reply
Thanks, s5Thomps. One winner tonight, PP. These look more like Little Lotto numbers, you just never know. I'm including the payout for 5 of 6 because I think it's the most pitiful ones I've ever seen. Thsx was the last Lotto draw for November, the end of the 11th mpnth and the 11th jackpot paid. Three draws a week, 11, jackpots at this point in the year, this one doesn't get hit too often. I think it's lost a lot of play to MM and PB. Monday is the only night it isn't competing with one of th
