Stores with past Powerball winners lure crowdsReply
In Los Angeles County, there's a place called Bluebird Liquor that always gets huge lines of people when jackpots get big. People wait sometimes hours to get their tickets because they believe this place is lucky. They have had at least 4 or more multi-million dollar jackpot winners.

$400 MILLION: Powerball jackpot skyrocketsReply
I understand your sentiment Cletu$, however skyrocketed jackpots will draw the players. And even though I certainly disagree with the greed driven changes in the MegaMillions lottery I am sure I will still play (partially due to greed on my part) when the jackpot is huge, which after a couples of months will be every drawing. I do plan to cut down, however, on the number of tickets I purchase. I just need to keep reiterating to myself it only takes one to win, and only buy one ticket.

$400 MILLION: Powerball jackpot skyrocketsReply
Given that the cash values of these current jackpots are lower than previous years does taking the annuity payments become more attractive. I know most people always take the cash option but it seems as if the cash option is getting lower and lower with respect to the current jackpot(annuity) to cash ratio. .........

Can math and logic improve chances of winning a jackpot?Reply
The odds against matching 12 numbers or zero is still 2.7 million to 1 and the potential of multiple players playing the same numbers was overlooked by someone working for GTech. Having a limit on a fixed jackpot doesn't mean they expect lots of multiple winners. We're reading more stories of players winning fixed jackpots playing the same numbers multiple times. Recently the same player had multiple $2 million 5 + 0 matches in WVA and a KY player had ten winning $200,000 Cash Ball tickets last

Who Cares if Lottery is RIGGED??Reply
You assume players who win lottery jackpots read LP and care about what members post. I'm a LP member and read many of the posts but if I won a lottery jackpot nothing posted here would bother me.

Since Mega Millions is changing in October will you be playing more now before the change?Reply
The states need to increase the odds to have bigger jackpots and reach the Billion Dollar mark. They need the lottery hysteria to generate interest and more sales. Yes, i will play the Billion dollar MM, despite the long odds. Being a billionaire has a nice ring to it.

Addicted to lottery?Reply
I'm only a rec player who buys tickets a 3-5 times a year when the PB jackpots are over 300 million. I remember that MM 660 million jackpot a while back.

More Power to the BallReply
There's. no such thing if you play in New Jersey. I swear that state could win several jackpots a year on a 5 + 1 game that has 999,999 white balls, and 999,999 bonus balls.

No state is worse than Rhode IslandReply
Are any of the $10 tickets worth playing ? It seems with such small jackpots there should be better odds to win them? I have yet to find anything over $500 in any state this year it's getting ridiculous !!!

$290 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot surgesReply
Everyone who plays thinks it's the right time for them and no one else is more deserving of a win, that's the reason so many players feel down and rejected when the jackpots are won.
