$550 MILLION: Powerball jackpot now more than a half-billion dollarsReply
Well, it's just that it had to come from so far to get there. Rollover after rollover until it gets to a history making number, only to have it split up into little bits that seem to make a mockery of the lengths and odds it took to get to that quantity. As for $5B, will this new foolishness MM is going to put into effect to make the odds even more ridiculous, it's entirely possible. It'll take forever to get there, but no reason to rule it out as a possibility.

The odds for winning PB are still the same. Just the jackpot will be that much higher

if you had the power to change certain things to the MM/ PB jackpots- what would they be?Reply
If I was only interested in winning a couple of million I would just play my state lottery which has much better odds than either the MM/PB.

Is there anything we can believe in...at least Most of the time?Reply
It's a bad idea to play Most of the time **** Odds wise it really is better not to play....slot machines are about 17 times better odds. Anyone that beats Pick 3 odds...... even once in awhile are ....pretty good...poor but very good. It really is better to set up TRAPS rather than play every single day no matter what. It's better to set up your own rules and just the right conditions.Wait for those windows of opportunity. Set up limits of play .....and then Stop . Don't chas

IL Lottery Complaint from Scratcher & IL LotteryMan Returns!Reply
When we were younger, my brother went to the carnival and saw a game booth. He saw people picking up prizes after a play. He thought winning was easy as playing the game. When he lost and was not given a prize, he ended up in an argument and later into stoning the booth. Its the same thing with the guy who read the 1 in 4 odds and took it literally. My guess is that he's a newbie who is ignorant of how the odds are calculated; dividing total number of prizes with total tickets issued or an av
