  I think Powerball will not rollover when it goes to the new matrix of 5/55+1/42. I think someone will hit PB jackpot on Saturday 8/27/05. I say the PB Jackpot will be 15 million on 8/31/05. What do you think the PB jackpot will be on 8/31/05 when they go to a 5/55+1/42 matrix where 2 more WBs [total of 55] join the mix?

  I think it will roll over right into the new matrix that is only two rolls away but you never know about powerball sometimes it goes for a run then it gets hit right away.

  That's why I wanted to put this poll question in event that PB does go to a 5/55+1/42 format. This question will be a test to see what was the first jackpot of the new matrix. When MM was doing the 5/56+1/46 format, the first draw was 42 million.

  It's currently 32 million for 8/27/05. If no one hits on 8/27/05, I think $40 million is more realistic for the first 5/55+1/42. However, my vote is for $15 million because someone will hit the PB Jackpot for Saturday 8/27/05.

  I say 45m. There will be a nice jump because of the back-loaded annuity.

  The answer to the PB question, it rolled over to 44 million for the first 5/55+1/42 matrix. Anyone who said other in this poll are correct.

  If nobody answered it right, I guess CASH Only is the closest [high or low]. Do you think that PB will reach 363+ million on this run or in the future when no one hits the jackpot for a long time?

  I would like to see the Jack Whittaker record (~315m annuity) broken, even if it means the winner receives less cash due to the change in annual payments.
