winning powerball ticket sold in michiganReply
Yep, and it will take TWO MONTHS for jackpots to increase by more than $10 million, if they ever do, and six month jackpot win droughts will become more common due to nobody buying tickets

Current Powerball RunReply
If it keeps rolling into the change then $400M-500M cash is very plausible. Don't forget that in addition to worse odds the jackpot allocation is increasing about 5%, which means jackpot will grow larger faster (assuming sales stay constant or increase). I would anticipate a slight uplift in sales from the increased advertising near launch of new matrix, not to mention the potential higher jackpot at that time.

WTG, increase, you did it again. It was 217 and you had it boxed as 712. Good deal. Your September list is on a roll. Hope it continues.

New national lottery with a twistReply
Actually, no it doesn't. Because the same problem will exists. With this system, the only time everyone has an equal chance to win is at the national level. It matters a very great deal how many people are in each state, because if you make the odds small enough so that a person in a low population state is able to produce a winner, then the people in high population states will probably have multiple winners. While on paper the odds of winning on a state level will be the same across the board,

Crazy idea for city, state, and nation lottos in the US.Reply
City lotto might be a good way to increase the number of people paying their taxes on time. Every on-time payment gets entered into the draw for $1M (or whatever is appropriate for the size of the city). Where I live we have to pay tax installments every 3 months, so that would be 4 chances a year to win.

Can this really happen...Reply
I don't really get why this would be hard to believe. One set of numbers has as much a chance of winning as any other set. Buying 2 tickets instead of 1 might increase the odds of winning, but when your chances of winning are so infinitesimal that extra tickets barely make a dent in your odds, one ticket is all you need.

if you were going to buy (30) $20 tickets how would you do it?Reply
If I were to only spend $600 only on $20 tickets I would most likely do: (A) Buy 1 of every $20 ticket the vendor had in stock. If it didn't end up being 30 tickets, I'd go to another store and repeat the process until I met my quota. Reason being, I would assume buying tickets from multiple vendors might increase my chances of hitting something decent. This happened in Sumter, about a month ago when two $200,000 tickets were sold on the same day, in the same city, almost on the same road...j
