I agree with you on the choice of powerplay option for that extra dollar because the least you will get on a 5+0 is $400,000 and if your really lucky a cool million in cash. Can't go wrong their for as little as two dollars a nice size prize could be coming your way.

I might just buy a ticket for Wednesday since I'm angling to be the first player to hit the 5+0 with PowerPlay on the new matrix.Two lucky players, for an extra buck, could've turned $200k into $800,000 cash on Saturday

Good point. I never thought to look at it that way. I bought $12.00 worth of tickets and won $3.00 back. The week before I did the same thing and won nothing. I don't know what the winners are doing with their riches, but a small percentage came from me. Feel free to say thinks.

Maybe you're putting too fine an edge on it. Maybe 'favorite' equals 'biggest'. Americans love big and they love biggest even more. They like the Super Bowl better than they like some high school stumbling contest. They like television sets that cover the wall instead of just some little bitty battery powered thing. They like football runners who make the most money and cut the heads off their wives, instead of the ones who can only do the one thing.I'm thinking if PB is the biggest it probabl... [ More ]

The jackpot in America's favorite lottery game is still on the way up.Starchile:Actually the first line doesn't say PB is America's favorite lottery. It doesn't say that anywhere in the article. All it does is try to implicate it into being America's favorite lottery by pointing out what it has in common with America's favorite lottery.... jackpot going up.PB might be the actual perpetrator, might be just an accessory to the fact, or might just be some guy that got picked out of a line-up for b...

Attention Powerball Players:We receive many calls to help the hurricane victims. Profits from the Powerball game go to the 29 states that sell the game and these states are helping. You can help too. Powerball shows that just a dollar can turn into something big. Go to: American Red Cross. (From their website.)Looks like the PB management team has perfected the pass the buck concept. I'm sure, that if their bonuses had been higher last year, because of fewer jackpots, the management team would h... [ More ]

that first line is marketing machine for powerball speaking. it is not independently confirmed. INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW AN INDEPENDENT ASSESMENT.

That claim is still deceiving though. It should say America's LARGEST game, because it is depending on how you look at it. They do have more states than any other multi-state game.

Starchile:If PB isn't America's favorite lottery game how could they have it in the first line of the article saying it is? So there you are. It's also on the way up. No way it would say so if it weren't true.Remember where you heard it.J

your answer doesn't really answer the question about if it is america's favorite game. the jackpot could be 50 dollars and it could still be america's favorite game. the question is it really america's favorite game. you know this is a silly question but what the hey. lol. by the way i like the avatar you have. it makes me wonder what you truly look like.

Maybe if the jackpots start getting bigger it will become a favorite to more people. It never really mattered to me, because the odds are still against me. lol.

It was once America's favorite game, then they got too many small jackpot winners...

I think America's favorite game is New York Lotto.
