If in the future there was a $1 BILLION Mega Millions or Powerball Jackpot..Reply
Personally, I wouldn't mind a game with a capped jackpot - but that's not the point of these multistate games. Leave that for state run games, or multi-state games with smaller state pools. Games like MM and PB were meant to create huge jackpots. Because that's what sells tickets, because that's what customers want. Everyone knows you don't NEED half a billion dollars, but most people want it. (Myself included for sure.) My preference is generally geared towards smaller games, as

Virginia man wins lottery 4th timeReply
I disagree. The scratch-ifs present better odds of winning compared to jackpot games. With scratch-ifs, it really is a case of being in the right place at the right time AND buying the right ticket whereas winning jackpot games is about having those few matching 6 numbers, which is a much taller proposition. I imagine those lottery pools that term themselves lucky when they win second or third tier prize perhaps feel like they are a shoe-in to win soon, and I have yet to see that happen. Why I t

$550 MILLION: Powerball jackpot now more than a half-billion dollarsReply
Looks like we're the same on this point. Having more than one winner just makes it so anticlimatic. Especially when I see this huge syndicate win and they only walk away with like 300k per person, that's so lame imo. I wonder when we'll be able to see 5 billion and 10 billion jackpots 8D

$475 MILLION: Powerball jackpot nears a half-billion dollarsReply
The jackpots may not get this big very often, but MUSL has years of experience at estimating sales. It was a foregone conclusion that they would lowball the first estimate, but once they've got several hours of sales figures to compare to past drawings they can make a much better guess at what the actual sales will be by Saturday night. If MUSL didn't already expect it be higher than $550 they wouldn't have picked that figure for the first update. We can expect another adjustment, but I'd be sur

$475 MILLION: Powerball jackpot nears a half-billion dollarsReply
It will be interesting to see how long the lines get at the border towns near states that don't have the PB. Jackpot will probably be around $600M by tomorrow and it is anybody's best guess on what it will be by drawing time on Saturday. The prior two record breaking jackpots ended on the weekdays, having this one on a weekend changes everything. I am not sure if the CVO record will be broken, but I bet the $656M Annuity record will fall by the wayside.

Who would you tell first and why?Reply
Free will means a person has a right to mention God. Get over it and do something nice. Good grief, there are lottery jackpots there just waiting to be won.

$350 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot soarsReply
Well hats off to you. I applaud your stance. Nothing more irritating to me than the people who win the huge jackpots who then turnaround and complain about it endlessly, keep their jobs and never enjoy it. I always wonder why those people bother to play. It's one of the great mysteries of life. A riddle for the sphinx. If you only want enough to take care of your bills, more pwer to you. PB and MM would be a waste. But for the rest of us who do play in the hopes of hitting it big, maybe we ha

Before this month is over, some players are going to win the PB and MM jackpots and it might be Thrifty's devised method. There are several free how to play lottery games books and articles on the Internet and you really ought to read one instead of continually showing your ignorance of lottery play and gaming. the immense 50% House Edge The house edge is an accumulative effect over millions of outcomes and for the same reason Catlin's and Blue Jay's challenges requires millions of outco
