Powerball rolling until Jan.?Reply
I'll take the fame for that price. But heck I would even be happier like I said many times before, hitting the lowly $20 million dollar jackpot the next week after a record breaking win. I would be invisible for life!

But I don't want an injection to collect my Powerball!! arrrgh!Reply
Just for the record even if you delete an email from your deleted items folder it's still residing somewhere on your hard drive. any good computer forensics person would be able to retrieve it for evedince in a trial. Your safest play would be to make an occasional drive to a powerball state and buy a few months worth of tickets. Thats what i do.

Tennessee Lottery - low payoutsReply
All the payouts in the TN Cash 4 and Cash 3 games are set to yield between 47.92% and 50% payout percentages. Total payouts don't mean a thing unless the total amounts wagered are also published. Then if one were to keep a long-term record of the total payouts vs. the amounts wagered and found a major imbalance there would be a justifiable reason for complaints. When numbers that don't immediately come to mind are drawn (such as doubles, trips or non-consecutive numbers) of course the total payo

Why you should try to remain anonymous if you ever win a jackpot!Reply
I dunno, I think having a blind trust set up would still be a better option for claiming. Now, you could change your name and still be the trustee to claim it (with a disguise since they will probably want a picture) and then just change it back but wouldn't all that be public record? As well as if you don't have a trust claim it, have to notify the lottery of the name change? Or are you just a number to them after winning? You'd probably want to set up a PO box with your new name too, probably

What's the story behind your LP name?Reply
Well my names pretty obvious. I'm a huge Cowboy fan and hopefully I win a jackpot the same year the Cowboys win their record 6th Super Bowl. And that Super Bowl victory hopefully will come next year and not like 60 years from now.

What would you do if you had to share your jackpot?Reply
Put another way which is more likely....... Suppose the jackpot was $400 million (plausible, considering the record is $390) and you discovered there were five or six winners and none of them were you. Would you be angry?

Powerball multi-state lottery game to change rulesReply
I think Powerball will reclaim the jackpot record. There's 49 million more combinations, which is a 33% increase. That's huge. Hell, 1 in 1 million is a shot in the dark; much less 1 in 195 million. It's insane. Powerball will start seeing super big jackpots a lot more often now.

North Carolina 8/1 - 8/31Reply
And for the record,,, the smart picks they give for Cash 5 suk because it has a default of 50 drawings. You can't change it.

Amazing implementation of record highs.Reply
1) I also know this. 2) I don't think it is either, I thought about pp also, I don't know how they woud implement it, I don't think its ever been done before, but if the interval is at record highs the pool would be large enough for close to base levels especially for pp right? 3) I suppose it is, but it would be interesting, megamillions do not implement this plan, they just continue raising the jp even above pb's max 25 mil interval and that's why mm always have record highs records:
