$975 MILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againNews Story
Easter sales dip might be holding it back By Todd Northrop The near-billion-dollar Powerball jackpot grew again last night, but perhaps not as much as it would have if this weren't Easter weekend.

$935 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
I feel this pot going to climb into the top 3 Maybe, but it needs to almost double, to about 1.815 billion to be in the real top 3, based on the current cash:annuity ratio.

You are required to have your picture taken and they are allowed to promote it. You are not required to be overly exuberant about it or have to explain or concoct some story about how or why you won to help future sales for them and make yourself well known and a potential target for bilkers.

Then it would be your turn to get exploited by a state lottery commission to help promote their games whose sales may be slumping. I am sure you wouldn't mind however.

I guess it is OK to believe that story that it was her first time playing along with the one yesterday and the one a few weeks ago. I guess it wouldn't be to help increase sales by non players.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
I tried one on day one and lost so will be playing it sparingly lol. Funny how the new promotion for the ticket requires you to buy a florida lottery ticket as well for a entry.

Mega Millions and Powerball offer $1.11 billion in combined lottery jackpotsReply
I agree they should go back to the old matrix. But, they should also increase the price per ticket to $5 while increasing the lower tiered prizes. This increase will also help to push the jackpot up at a higher rate so there is still the FOMO factor that helps to increase sales.

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
