Powerball multi-state lottery to raise prices, jackpotsReply
Well I've come to the conclusion that I don't really hate it, and I'd actually like it if the Powerplay option multiplied the second tier prize more. I will probably still play a ticket when the Jackpot is high enough. The main reason is that there are now two options, with essentially the same odds (of a JP win.)

$200 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot heats upReply
I can see your point if someone is getting a lot of tickets or simply wants to double what he can get while staying within his budget by skipping the multiplier. But in my case I only get two per drawing and sometimes a couple more. And since they changed the 2nd place prize to a million with the multiplier, I haven't gotten a ticket without it.
