Actually, more players mean higher jackpots, since you have bigger rollovers.

It effects rollovers. More players and no change in the game matrix means smaller jackpots.

Powerball would be good for Wyoming. Extra source of revenue for the state and residents wouldn't have to waste gas driving out of state to play. People will do what they want to do somehow. Why not make it easier and let the state keep the money at home?

How does another state joining lengthen the odds? I thought just adding balls did that.

Considering the population this is the one state that DOESN T increase the odds. I think the only other state game should be bingo. 5-7 halls should just about cover it. The only way they can affect game odds is convincing the mosquitos to buy tickets.

I think it would be a good idea for Wyoming to join Powerball.

That is the problem with North Dakota. They are too dependant upon MUSL games. They need to start up their own in-state games, or merge their lottery with SD. Eventually the people are going to get bored with the games, and then what is the state going to do

If WY starts a lottery, it could go the route of North Dakota, which sells only multi-state games. Under current law, there are no scratch tickets in ND.

Well at least adding Wyoming won't change the odds or the likelihood of a winner.

In the latest push to make Wyoming a Powerball state, an interim legislative committee on Monday authorized legislation allowing Wyoming to join the multi-state lottery.

Individual lawmakers have sponsored Powerball bills in past legislative sessions, but this marks the first time a committee will formally introduce a bill of its own.

A Casper Star-Tribune poll of voters earlier this year showed that 62 percent support Powerball in Wyoming. The poll margin of error was 4 percent.
