Yes! The WOW! Factor will kick in all across the country; however, this Jackpot falls on January 20, 2007 - which is my Birthday. Boy am I going to have a GRAND 48 year old party! I'll be sure to think of all LP members when I go to Lottery Headquarters! hahahahahahahahahah

we know millions of people all of the country are buying tickets, isn't this a sign that the game is nearly impossible to win?

That's just a sign that the odds are high, but the game follows the laws of probability. The lump sum went up about $11 million, which means they expect to sell about 40 million tickets. If those tickets represented 40 million of the possible combinations (they actually represent a lot less), the odds of awinner would be about 40 in 145, or about 28%. IOW, we really... [ More ]

why yes it is near impossible but that is why we enter. it is like trying to fish old bubba from the bottom of the lake that everyone has been talking about for years. it may take a few years for people to catch old bubba but as soon as someone lands him. Bubba 2 takes over the story and soom becomes just bubba.

i catch a lot guppies a lot and sometimes the bigger fish. i go to the pond every week trying to catch bubba. the joy and t... [ More ]

When I see a huge jackpot like this, I get 2 feelings. (1) WOW! (2) When a jackpot rolls over week after week, and we know millions of people all of the country are buying tickets, isn't this a sign that the game is nearly impossible to win? One winner will definitely win, and it might be one of us. However, simple logic and common sense says that it won't be.

I still wish all of you a lot of luck. Don't forget to mention LP when you win

I can only hope i was one of the two winners in PA for a ticket. I and all my fellow lottery posters can use the 2nd place prize.

as much as i would love to be the winner next time i would still love to see it reach past the old record. man that would be something. can you imagine one winner winning a pot over 400 million. i know that is not the record but it could be the new record. I would probably pack up the wife and go to middle of spain for about 2 months. get me a satelite set up so

It has reached the point where the jackpot after burners kick in. With MM being at $25M, more players from neighboring MM states will be buying tickets too.

you're right! people like to see $100 bills, $100,000, and $100 Millions. They love the round up numbers.

But still, this is a huge jackpot. Just buy the ticket and hope to win. It's enough for you to have a luxury life when you've won it.

if it can get past a few more rounds/rolls

we be seeing a new record now!

at this level of money/jackpot size they all was understate by a few million come draw time total

so we could indeed break 100m in cash for a jackpot this draw me thinks

The Powerball jackpot continues to move upward.

Even though the grand prize was not hit Wednesday evening, 946,640 players across the nation won a total of more than $7.6 million in prizes in America's Game .

Because no one correctly matched all six numbers the jackpot will grow to an estimated $205 million for Saturday night's drawing.

It is the largest jackpot since April 12, 2006, when one ticket from Missouri matched all five numbers plus the Powerball for a $220 million jackpot pr... [ More ]
