$1.4 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
My 'little' pet peeve with Powerball is the rule that after $150 million, the Powerplay of 10X goes away. It seems like it only comes in twice/year and as most folks here that play that can attest usually it is just 2X. Now grumpy grouper wonders why they don't mirror Mega Millions with their multiplier so you could potentially win $5 million whereas Powerball stays @ $2 million regardless of the multiplier!

New York man claims state's biggest Mega Millions prize at $476 millionReply
Some people play the multiplier because if they don't win the jackpot but win any of the smaller prizes it will be multiplied. The multiplier is strictly for the smaller prizes, which is a chance to multiple the prize up to 5X. It has nothing to do with the jackpot prize

His multiplier option play makes no sense. If you have a fixed amount to spend on the lotto, it makes sense to play without a multiplier when the jackpot gets above a certain amount (somewhere in the $200-300 million range as I recall).

$835 MILLION: Powerball jackpot set to deliver ultra-wealthReply
How will my lifetime expenditure of 23K be more than the winning of 63K? Because you're only going to get the 100k in your fantasies. You're talking about buying 7800 tickets, and because the odds are 1 in 913,129.18 that will give you only a 0.85% chance of actually winning. And it's actually even worse than that, because none of th etickets you've lready bought have any chance of being a winner, so you don't have 7800 chances to win. That said, I once saw an analysis that said the ave

Some people buy the multiplier option and buy five identical lines on their ticket. I do that. The odds in PowerBall to win a second place prize of 2 million dollars by matching 5 numbers (if you bought the PowerPlay multiplier) are 11,688,053 to 1. But because I have 5 identical lines on my ticket I'd win 2 million per line , or a total of 10 million dollars. To win 10 million bucks with 11 million to odds would make for a very nice payday. G5

New York man scoops up two $1 million Mega Millions lottery prizesReply
No, he had 4.00 in his hand and bought two sets of the same five with two different PB's. Common play actually. The fact that they offer the multiplier makes me wonder if it is viable over a long period of play.
