Powerball lottery sales, starting this morning, going smoothlyReply
Increase the matrix! Bite your tongue! Perish the thought! No way! Leave the damn matrix alone! Despite the whining we heard from Powerball last year about a record number of winners...it's already hard enough to win anything significant!I'm sorry but I just don't undersand that attitude. And I don't understand the obsession with record jackpots. I'd be thrilled to win a paltry $15 million jackpot anyday. I'd take the less than 50% cash value they're now offering and say adios muchachos

Power Trails ... For all to try..Reply
Tntea, If we could hit straight once a week, I have a betting plan that could let us retire...just need the wins first!Will trade betting plan for winning plan...lolCouldn't find my betting plan on the computer, so I'm going to try to recreate it from memory:If you can achieve a straight on average once every 13 draws, which is a week's mid. and eve. draws in most states, then you increase your bet by one unit after a win. So if you are betting .50 straight and get a hit, you increase your stra

Ohio Super Lotto 02/25/04...$10MReply
Quote: Originally posted by RJOh on February 26, 2004 Ohio lottery popularity declined when the State decided to limit the amount that one ticket could win to $20M. They reversed that decision some months later but by then it was too late, other games that payed more had taken the lead and Ohio tickets sales were down. Ohio had to join one of the multi-state games to get ticket sales up again. PowerBall has decided to limit jackpot size at a certain point and increase the 2nd prize amount, bu
