$500 million jackpot...when?Reply
Back when the game was 1 in about 76 million, the jackpot got up to $363 million, so it's possible to get to $500 million with the current odds.I don't Powerball will make it, though, because of the $25 million growth limiter on record jackpots.

Cashonly Buddy never pray that a ticket does not win even tho it is an annuity. A bit of advice buddy pray that it does win whatever kind of ticket it is annuity or lump sum money is money buddy. Also buddy The Rock is waiting for the big one, the $500 million dollar jack pot but he also wants to set a record in not only winning The largets which he will do but one also for winning multiple jackpots which he also will do.The Rock

BlueDot: The future of Super-6 probably depends at least in part by PA's new Governor, who is on record as wanting the lottery to become more profitable. I _hope_ Super-6 ends soon. WINFALL started today in Michigan; it's a game with a $5 million jackpot CAP, and all three lower tiers are supposed to pay about 10x normal prize when a $5 million jackpot is not hit (the jackpot then restarts at $2 million, IIRC).

Today, Mr Whittaker was given a check for over $103 million (after 6.5% state and 27% federal withholdings), to cover the remainder of his record lottery win. Photo on the WV Lottery website.

Remember Powerball's New Rules?Reply
CASH,I agree with your assessment. Although I wounder if MUSL should really be limiting someone from winning too much . The whole reason MM and PB changed their odds was to have super huge jackpots. If one person like Jack Whittiker (sp?) is the only one to hit then so be it.Don't get me wrong though, I do like the idea of the Match 5 Bonus, I just think the cap should be a bit higher and that the jackpot doesn't need to break a record for it to be in play.

5 number gamesReply
BfloTG (whatever that means): The CT Cash 5 prizes are fixed ; there are special rules for paying winners less, in such cases all prize levels are affected, at least for the non-Kicker payouts. I believe the ACTUAL prizes for 3+K is $75, and 4+K is $4650. For the record, CT Classic Lotto prizes are pari-mutuel except for a 3-of-6 match.

who like the cash 5 bonus?Reply
Was the match 5 bonus even implemented? I am not even sure what a record level is for the PowerBall, but it seems they aren't going to get alot of use out of this match 5 plan? Have they ever had a match 5 draw?

Would you have liked to have hit for $100K, like you did, or for possibly $1.1 Million?I don't think the Match 5 bonus is a bad idea, but they should make the cap $50 Mil and not $25 Mil.
