I'm not sure, but according to the official Powerball site, the total was $151.9 million. I've never seen MUSL overestimate like that before. I didn't think so. Wonder what happened? Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Happy New Year Everyone!
(It's my favorite time of the year now.)

congrats to the winners.......... I just found out that Powerball might be making a matrix change pretty soon if its approved by all the participating states. The odds are about to get higher than they are now. Well thats what I read on the South Carolina lottery website in the minutes from the Oct. 4, 2007 meeting. According to the minutes the 2nd prize amount would change also. They want to compete more with the Mega Millions game and produce higher jackpots. A matrix change will also guarantee a $1million match 5 prize for every winner who matches 5 numbers and who also purchases the Power Play option. That ROCKS!!!!!! I can't wait to see the new game. I like it. Now if Mega Millions would update their game and give all the states Megaplier then maybe they could keep up with Powerball. waiting patiently for my jackpot

i have been married for 31 years to the man of dreams and have worked two jobs to make ends meet including distruting newspapers early ours and would only like to sleep in just one morning and have a vacation with my husband although we have little left we always took in unfortunate and have may ends meet only my blessings. best of luck and don't be fooled by scams. Somewhere you've entrigued someone life good luck to you and yours 
i have been married for 31 years to the man of my dreams Sounds as if you hit the jackpot 31 years ago! Good luck to you too. I just found out that Powerball might be making a matrix change pretty soon I don't know why anyone would want the odds for PB or MM to be any higher, but to each his own, I suppose. I mean, $150 million is more than anyone needs unless the winner is a large pool, which it has been on occasion.

How often are they going to do this? I don't like it.
