Help Me Understand This 😭Reply
As a player should the focus be on the odds of winning or how often people are winning regardless? How often (other) people win matters in two ways. If somebody else wins the same drawing you do you only get your share of the jackpot. If anybody won recently the jackpot is less than it is when nobody has won for a longer period of time.

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
One thing I truly miss is bump up to the jackpot like in the good old days. Gone for good I'd say.

Changing to 3 drawings per week has a minor effect, but the real issue is that lottery sales per drawing are generally slower than they used to be. Even so, the current PB run is a rare exception (as of now) for not bumping some of the jackpots for runs that made it past the billion dollar
