CA SLP QuestionReply
CASH Only, http://www.calottery.com/Games/superlottoplus/winningnumbers is the website you want to look at for future reference. By the way, CA SLP has tied a new low for roll #10. The current jackpot for this Saturday (5/20) is only at 36 million. The problem with CA trying to go back to a 6 number format is that their population is almost 38 million and growing. So if CA wants to go a classic 6 number format, they need enough numbers to get odds more than 42 million to 1. I wonder if CA will i

Why an Annuity?Reply
The whole point of annuities was to increase the jackpot amount so it pays out more than the lotteries can rack up in actual present day cash.

Possible number combinations...Reply
hey guys thank you very much, and sfillipo is right, if you were to increase the range from 0-14 and not from 0-9 there will still be 6 ways one can box the 3 numbers.....thank you guys....guys no i am not with the state lottery (I had to laugh at your comments about it though:) )...guys i agree to with you all, there are still very few people winning anyways....guys i believe that the lottery corporation will change the range and add more numbers if the number of players playing pick 3 were to

Probability of a Rollover in Powerball.Reply
I wish Powerball would increase their maximum annuity rollovers to at least $40 million whenever it hits a record to accomodate the backloaded annuity.

Unfortunately Powerball's cash jackpot is 46.2% of the annuity. Mega Millions' dropped as well to 57.1%. Instead of Powerball's current cap rule on annuity jackpots, they should instead cap the CASH JACKPOTS and let them increase a maximum of $12.5 million per roll or something due to fluctuating interest rates affecting the size of the annuity, or at least increase the maximum annuity rollovers to $50 million or something. If the current ratio holds, the cash value at the $390 million

MM at $256MReply
I'm surprised MM did not increase its estimated jackpot for Tuesday. Oh well, just a better chance it will rollover.

Probability of a Rollover in Powerball.Reply
There is a chance that if Powerball sets a new record jackpot, it will land between $365 million and $390 million, in which case there's no match 5 bonus pool, but the cap increases. What I do not understand is why sales increase on runs following very large jackpots. All those rollovers just show how hard the game is to win. You'd think sales would increase on runs following smaller jackpot wins, but as evidenced by last year, that is not the case - after Powerball's lucky string of eight

365 powerballReply
Editgap, Powerball's match 5+0 bonus pool should already be in effect. Since the $365 million jackpot is $25 million over its last record, which was set last October, any cash in excess of the cash value of the jackpot is in the bonus pool, and any greater than expected sales (which will almost certainly happen) for Saturday's drawing will increase the money in the match 5+0 bonus pool instead of the jackpot. The only way the jackpot can get bigger on this run is if it keeps rolling (unlikely)
