its funny how pb results are within an hour and ten minutes after the drawing .mega millions results take from three to six hours after the drawing.powerball has 30 somethings states and mega millions has , what fourteen.Todd knews the right numbers of states for each game.ok .so when the powerball drawing goes off i,i stay up late..when the mega results come in i wake up early.the only reason i do this is ,to see if i have to go to work anymore..lol

.... but 658,097 players across the nation won a total of more than $6.5 million in prizes in America's Game .

Let's see...that means the average winner in America's Game won a whopping $9.87.

Not impressed.

You think someone tried to hack in the winning number, throwing everything out of balance

If one state doesn't balance, the systems in every MUSL state go into what is called lockdown . This can happen even if the host system is fine (i.e. on the vendor side) but the Lottery's ICS system has a hiccup (or vice versa).

The fact that it happens so infrequently stands in pretty good contrast to other government systems IMO.

A lot of second place winners. Congrats to them. I think the jackpot may get up to 200 million before being won this time.

Congratulations to the 2nd prize winners including the one winner with Power Play. I hope it continues to roll. Also, the last jackpot set a roll 8 record.

Yeah when the drawing results were not released by 1:00 am I knew there was something up. Different excuse used this time compared to the other times they had delays.

Release of Saturday winner information and start of Sunday sales delayed to due systems problems

Powerball winner results were delayed for the drawing on Saturday, May 13, 2006.

Strict balancing and processing requirements for the game required all systems to delay the start of ticket cashing for the game on Sunday morning.

Once all systems were confirmed to be in balance, at 6:55 a.m. Eastern, sales and cashing were authorized for all retailers across the country.
