I started paying for PowerPlay on just about every ticket I buy after I sat down and figured out that the maximum I could make without it if I matched 5 white balls was $140K after taxes. And the minimum I'd make with the PowerPlay was $280K. I decided that even if the multiplier came up only 2X, the difference betweek $140K and $280K would make a significant difference in my lifestyle that was worth spending the extra hundred or so each year to add PowerPlay.

I'll bet there are plenty of p... [ More ]

I think it's high time that Powerball makes the 10x multiplier permanent...I usually don't powerplay, but during this month, I powerplay all of my tickets. Actually, april 4 was the first time I powerplayed all this year. Hmmmm, seems like they would get more people to powerplay during the course of the year if that 10x was available all year instead of just in April.

I would like to see the 10x come up one more time before this promotion is up. I would not mind winning $2 million cash myself.-weshar75

It's sad when a store sells a winning powerball ticket that they only receive a small portion($5000 off of $2 million).

A Murfreesboro, Tennessee, couple struck it rich over the weekend from a Powerball promotion that turned a $200,000 second-prize win into a $2 million jackpot.

Nita and Merwin Scruggs came forward Monday to collect their check and become millionaires.

We still can't believe it, said 59-year-old Merwin Scruggs, a manager at Graves Metal Products Inc. in Shelbyville, on Monday in a news release. We didn't sleep at all last night.
