Powerball tickets will be raised to 2 dollars next yearReply
ONLY 195 million to one odds. Heck, there's only 307 million people in the whole U.S.of A. Good Luck...

Powerball tickets will be raised to 2 dollars next yearReply
Odds of winning the Jackpot in MM are 1 in 175,711,536 Odds of winning the Jackpot on PB are 1 in 195,249,054 Powerball is the tougher game according to those odds.. The $2 price for one Powerball ticket means that if you match ALL five winning white ball numbers WITHOUT the powerball you will automatically win $1,000,000.00. It makes no sense to me though they had to hike the ticket prices, Since I usually play with the powerplay option anyway so I always end up spending $2 per game

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Great post, dr! One good day isn't going to change my opinion. I'm still going slowly. It's going to take the days of old when the $100s were rolling in. I posted how I bought $40 of $2 tickets and got one free ticket. The guy in the letter did even worse. In the roll I got, I had 9 and 10 losers in a row. The odds evened out, but pretty misleading when there are that many bad zones out there. It's good that people are speaking out (I haven't had an answer to my e-mail, BTW,) but I'm not sure wh

What's with NY Sweet Million??Reply
Jacal, I never play PB, without buying the Powerplay. I've seen too many $200,000 second place PB winners. Not spending that extra buck for the Powerplay cost those winners $800,000. I disagree about the odds being the same as 1st place for SM. They're not the same. PB's odds are 2 million to 1 longer. 5.1 million to 1 for 2nd place PB, vs 3.1 to 1 for 1st place SM. But hey, what's a couple million between friends????

Seriously: does it matter? Folks STILL simply do not understand I could give you odds of 1 in 20 and I doubt you pick the number I am thinking of. One in 200 million, one in 195 million, one in 100 million, one in 10 million, one in a million, odds don't matter when you get beyond 1 in 10. Period. No, I don't mean if you go buy 10 tickets that one of them will win, my point is they would need to lower the odds to about 1 in 50 million~, and that's not going to happen. I promise you I

The odds of winning the $500 is 1,622:1. Please explain how that is better than Pick 3 straight at 1,000:1.
