Winning a jackpot on just five lines or lessReply
Same here. I remembered another post from a few yrs. back about this very thing: Buying More Tickets Does Not Increase Your Odds If it's a huge JP, I will sometimes buy another line, but I am under no illusion that it significantly raises my odds of winning.

RL's T-Lex program download, free softwareReply
RL, Do you think it would be possible to merge your 2 software together and make it one. So it would work like this : ... 1 Make your selection values more open for the filters desired with DMP which would produce off course more sets and increase the chance to capture the 5/5 in. ... 2 Then make also your second selection on the T-Lex the way we do it now with a choice of selecting more values of the 3 digits for the Lexi digit which will increase the chance to get the 5/5

Powerball changing in October to generate bigger jackpotsReply
When you see it laid out in this fashion doesn't it seem unnecessary to change the game? Not if you're a lottery official who has to answer to politicians. The only thing they can see is slower jackpot growth and revenue that's not growing fast enough. The lottery officials might not be as stupid as we think, but their primary goal in deciding if changes are required is probably giving the politicians the answers the politicians want, and that answer is sure, changing the game will increase

Powerball changing in October to generate bigger jackpotsReply
The proposed rule is intended to increase the odds of winning any prize while decreasing the odds to win the jackpot, said Robert Williams, executive director of the state Gaming Commission. It's obvious the majority of PB players are purchasing 1 or 2 tickets hoping to win the jackpot or the secondary prize and I really doubt having slightly better odds of cashing $4 will entice them to purchase more tickets.

Powerball changing in October to generate bigger jackpotsReply
will increase to 1 in 292,201,338, up from 1 in 175,223,510. Same thing to me. If you are lucky you are lucky no matter the odds. What they need to do is reduce the ticket to $1; then I'll buy Powerball. Megamillions all the way for me.

Mega Millions or Power Ball ? or both ?Reply
Nope, I stick with Powerball no matter the JP. I'd be happy with a million, and the odds are better for that prize than any other game right now. I didn't know PB odds were going to increase. I am NOT looking forward to that.

Powerball Matrix Change - April 15, 2015Reply
So the new PB specifications were finalized earlier this month, and indeed they are targeting an October launch. MUSL projects that the change will result in an increase to revenues of more than 40% versus current trends. They also expect average hit jackpots to be just over $300 million with 10-11 hits per year. We'll see.

Would you be willing to change your name in order to remain anonymous?Reply
How about these further Apples.... KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT !!! Try to keep your wallet or purse shut as well ... at least for the near-term future. Most money experts, at this point, would advise you to seek out and hire a financial planner. But not me. Why seek out and hire a financial planner when you can BE one? Many colleges and universities like Boston University in Massachusetts or Pepperdine University in California offer self-paced financial planning courses you can take online in the
