I am hoping for bigger jackpots after powerball changes into the new powerball. Another christmas record we be nice and a higher jackpot average too. So long to the old powerball and in with the new and hopefully larger jackpots powerball.

Wont be very long now 'till we see our first 54 or 55 drawn. I'd suspect that this will probably be the run that takes us over into the new matrix.

I hope that PB will go to 363+ million one of these days. I'm happy to see the $25 million dollar restriction rule down the road with the match 5 bonus prize coming soon.
