CT has not had a PB jackpot since the annuity-only era.

To Me this Stablize's the Integrity of Powerball. Remember the man that was caught by hacking the computer on Breeders Cup and printed himself a $3Million Pick Six ticket. I'd rather wait an hour and a half for honest results. Very Nice work Powerball.

Connecticut had its only three jackpot wins in a blitz during January, May and June of 1997. I think it's about time to end the eight year drought. 1997 was eight years ago?!?! Time keeps movin along, lol.

I'm hoping a Georgia winner while working in Tennessee. I had to grab 5 quick picks

I'm thinking a ticket sold in Pennsylvania to a Maryland resident will be the winner. Ok, ok, I'm hoping and dreaming that will happen

Mutliple technology problems yesterday caused problems with both the sales and drawing of the Powerball multi-state lottery game.Getting a Powerball ticket in Nebraska was almost impossible for a short time Wednesday.At about 5:30 p.m., a satellite malfunction shut down all Powerball ticket buying across the Cornhusker state. The problem lasted about 30 minutes.Then, it took up to an hour or more for retailers to log back on.The problems continued for Powerball players later in the night in Iowa... [ More ]
