Buying every combination for Powerball...Is it legal?
Now that we've seen Powerball and their new $2 wage get up to over 300 million faster than any other time in the history of American lotteries, its only a matter of time before we see a 400 million or dare I say 1/2 Billion jackpot?...With that said, wouldn't Jackpots that big just bring out groups of people with very large bank accounts who have the ability to buy every combination and win the Jackpot? If its not illegal to buy every combo, couldn't someone from say Wall street already be putti

$325 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot increased before draw dateReply
Judging from the number of second place winners, it could be a while before anyone wins the jackpot. Before the price increase, it was common for both MM and PB to have 10 or more second place winners for at least one drawing before the jackpots were won. When it's won, it going to be a big let down for those folks who think they deserve to win, especially if they think the winners are less deserving than themselves.

Is It Possible For Intelligent Alien life Forms To Have Some Form Of Lotteries?Reply
Is It Possible For Intelligent Alien life Forms To Have Some Form Of Lotteries 100 years years ago before computers, having a multi-state game with drawings twice a week with jackpots approaching a half billion dollars and knowing the results within a hour was alien. Things are being discovered today by intelligent people among us that are alien to most of us, who knows what may be discovered next.

$310 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot in rare territoryReply
Thanks for the welcome. With PB at this level, I finally decided to fork out a few bucks myself. As Rdgrnr would say, I'm normally too cheap to buy tickets since the price went up to $2, but with a jackpot like that, heck, one could support a whole clan! I'm an old-timer and wouldn't really have that much use for it in my own lifetime, so I've started playing mostly games with lower jackpots and far better odds. But the thought of leaving an estate of that size to the next two generations and to

i can't imagine powerball reaching 500 million...Reply
If you look at the drawing results under USA MEGA, the 5 number or 2nd place winners have not been above 5 since PB increased to $2. The prior big jackpots had 2nd place winners ranging from 10 to 20. The PB jackpot from 11/02/11 was hit at 254.2 million, with 20 2nd place winners. I think we'll see two more rolls before lottery fever overrides frugalness and EVERYONE starts buying tickets like before.

Powerball at $2.00 - If play, how mouch have you won?Reply
In other games where where the odds against winning something is much smaller, players can cash in their winning tickets to lower the cost of the next play. If they spend $10 to win $5, they can get 10 tickets in the next drawing for $5. At that point they can say they spent $15 to get 20 chances to win a jackpot; a nice way to justify playing if justification is necessary. Looking at $2 lottery games in general, most have jackpots under $1 million with better secondary prizes so if huge payo

Powerball at $2.00 - Does this change cut in to your budget more?Reply
I rarely used to play Powerball, but have bought some tickets recently now that the jackpots are getting higher. So, I guess you could say that I'm playing more.

$250 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot ramps upReply
I also believe that this jackpot is going to keep rolling (hey, they have to back up their claims for bigger jackpots or the whole marketing scheme would be a flop!)....to around $400 million (just over their all-time high of $365m) then it will hit. However, I think the best is yet to come...I anticipate a huge jackpot in excess of $500 million later this year. I'm not spending a dime until it nears this level!
