Powerball lottery madness spreads to big mediaReply
Seems to me every state ought to shoot for the pride of paying the highest salary on record to the director, or head of their lottery agency. States ought to compete to be the ones paying the head chief kahuna more than other states. Easy enough to accomplish. States ought to be paying their lottery director salaries based on an annuity. Yeah, the guy only makes ten grand a year this year. But fifty years from now he'll be in tall cotton. Give those lottery directors an opportunity to cash i

Powerball lottery madness spreads to big mediaReply
Hmmm. Wonder who defines the criteria for what constitutes the 'record' for the highest jackpot. I suppose there must be an official body of citizens out there somewhere, non-partisanl lottery players no doubt, who examine all the evidence, weigh the special interests, and debate the issues: Ya. We use annuity claims to decide what's the largest. NONONONO.... annuities don't count if the person accepts the lump sum.... it's apples and oranges you're comparing, Rufus! The actual amount the wi

Where to get the Lottery Bible Free #2Reply
It comes from one of my workouts luckierlady. It's not my main system or my favorite. I just wanted to share it. You can't figure out what the lead number is from the Lottery Bible. LOL! The lottery bible is just a tool. Just like other book of relatives and associates. I just use the lead number and pointers to pull the hits out of it. If you have good records you can use the lead number and pointers and go straight to the hits. Especially following the pointers. That's why I call them

Probability of a Rollover in Powerball.Reply
It has been difficult to estimate the overall probability of a record breaking jackpot because the changed game does seem to have effected sales figures considerably.
