No, I think it was one of these:

Rodriguez

Hernandez

Gonzalez

Lopez

Gomez

Dominguez

Sanchez

Jimenez

Murphy

It's a good place though.

You should check it out sometime.

I like the crowbar idea..... If they could also move the ocean to the other side it would be a big plus.

I know a really good taco joint in California.

I can't remember the name or where it's at though.

I think the name was like EL __________ something or another.

Not sure though.

And they just won another one!! Congrats California

Buddy, maybe you should root for your own state to win! California can get a big crowbar and stick it in there fault line and seperate from the rest of us

California residents win a lot of MM jackpots. I wonder how many PB jackpots they're going to win?

I wish Illinois had a Super Lotto like California. I'm not sure I would win that either, but it would be great if the state did have it.

I hope they don't! That is my favorite game and the only one I play consistently. I would be very disappointed if they ended the Super Lotto.

Rigged or not, CA deserves to win their first one, and everyone for that matter!!!

soon we'll see lets hope they win the first one,

kinda a way to thank them and welcome them, get their hopes up

then after that they don't Win for awhile,

but then Cali keeps pumpin $$$$$ in for another Lucky state Winner to get...

Hulk311 — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 15:04:02 GMT

I'm surprised that California is just now joining PowerBall. I always thought they were already in it. That is the stupidest thing I've heard though, think about how much money California has lost because they did not have PB. Is anyone else surpised thay they are just now joining PB?? Officials in Cali up until the $550 PB did not realize how many hundreds of millions they can get each year

Comment #83

pickone4me — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 23:22:18 GMT

You know, that's a good question. I think it's a lot of things, from the progressive environMENTAL trash they try to push on the rest of us, and other stuff. So I don't think it's just the rigged lottery that's in californias favor bothers me.

Edit: Is there no spell check available because of the operating system I use? Or is there no spell check for windows users too

Comment #82

mcginnin56 — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 22:57:36 GMT

We've always known the lottery is rigged in California's favor, what's the big deal.

Comment #81

pickone4me — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 22:54:52 GMT

I bet my last bottom dollar, the very first drawing california gets included in, they will get a win. I think the lottery is rigged for certain states and cities to win.

Comment #80

ressuccess — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:48:54 GMT

Well I hope California ends their state's Super Lotto Plus game. I know their games are pari-mutuel and not eligible for the Power Play option for $1 more.

Good idea... Mandatory lottery. Why not have each persons paycheck deducted so that each and every person receives a $10. Qp.... And of course the less fortunate would also get one. (without paying

Well they decide to get in on it now after the biggest jackpot. They saw dollars signs in their eyes.

America's game just got bigger! won't have a chance to win anymore with the big state of CA joining in...

Comment #50

mightwin — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 23:39:53 GMT

I think this might be actually good! Maybe the jackpot will increase more than the standard $10 million increments before the jackpot reaches over $100 million with more $ coming in. The game is still difficult to win so when it does get up there it will get up there sooner hopefully

Comment #49

pickone4me — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 21:36:41 GMT

You gotta be kidding me! California wins enough as it is without powerball. I can't put into words how I feel about this here, as I would probably get shown the door! You ain't getting any of my money california

This is really gonna accelerate jackpot growth. Lotto fever might be a seasonal illness rather than once every few years.

Comment #46

Coin Toss — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 05:56:36 GMT

I was thinking maybe something like that, RJOh, more than one bonus number.

5 + 1 + 1 = Jackpot

5 + 1 + 0 = a smaller % of JP, or something similar.

If it does change at all, it will be to the advantage of the lottery, not the player.

bobby623,

Despite what the head of the Texas lottery said, but I'll believe it when I see it. When California joined Mega Millions, the matrix changed. I'm with Guru101 on this.

Bigger Jackpots for sure

Comment #41

RJOh — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:34:14 GMT

Ohio had a 100 numbers matrix for their Lot'O Play game(0-99) for a while when they switched from the Super Lotto game(6/49+1) but changed again to Classic Lotto(6/49) when people lost interest in playing. If PB was going to change anything it would probably be the numbers of bonus numbers.

I do wish Oklahoma had a there own state lotto game the odds would be better.

Comment #39

BuyLow — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:36:42 GMT

I feel as though they may combine the PB and Megamillion games into The Super Power Mega National Game once CA joins...it will have...

starting jackpots of $100 MILLION

I understand because that is a fear that haunts us all.

It would destroy every lotto player from east to west.

Still, we would have to find a way to go on.

And go on to play another day......

Comment #36

rdgrnr — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 05:59:55 GMT

Thank you janem, but I have this haunting fear that Charlie Sheen might win it.

I don't think I could go on.

Comment #34

VenomV12 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 05:27:16 GMT

Statistically things should not change. More people won't make it harder for you to win, the numbers are the numbers that are drawn. There may be more people to share the jackpot with you if you were lucky enough to get the right numbers, but nothing past that would change.

However, with a state that large with a population that large, the initial jackpot should be increased and the subsequent increases on each rollover increased at a larger rate also.

There is going to come a... [ More ]

The head of the Texas lottery announced in October that California would be joining PB in January. He said the matrix would not change.

whiteballz — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 02:12:20 GMT

cali money and no state income tax on lottery winnings should mean a billion dollar plus jackpot in 2013.

Comment #28

CAL-LottoPlayer — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 02:07:24 GMT

No big deal. I'm glad California didn't have PowerBall for this drawing. The odds are 176,000,000 to 1 against you. You're not gonna win anyway.

Comment #27

joshuacloak — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 01:53:46 GMT

Guys with CA joining PB, this will be first time ever single state with a lottery has 1 large game,

aka pure national game, even thro musty everyone has both.

Florida holding out on getting MM, and that be last state we need to cave in now with CA getting to starting point of pb game, both games have proven them self's this year with ticket sales , both should of been joined already by them.

hell am more shocked, atfer that 656 mega millions jackpot, Florida didn't do what CA is doing... [ More ]

Comment #26

Nikkicute — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 01:42:52 GMT

LOL!!! I don't blame you California!! Seeing all those people spend their money

elsewhere on the big jackpot, they saw how much they made when MegaMillions

was at the record jackpot, they're not going to miss out on that again!!

They voted real quick!! lol

Comment #25

GiveFive — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 01:12:52 GMT

California is the most populated state in The Union... 37 million people live there, Texas is number 2 and NY is the third most populated state. Jackpots will probably get bigger at a faster rate.

I dont care if Cali wins all the jackpots, I play PB for it's second prize due to the 5 million to 1 odds, and I always add the Power Play.

Factoring in their population and % of lottery players, I would conservatively estimate the JP's to grow 18% faster per drawing.

Actually for the convenience of all other states, you could just mail in $208 in one lump sum for the whole year.

Although it would be nice of them to provide free postage, since your not going to win anyways.

janem — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 00:33:34 GMT

Thanks! I was wondering what took so long.

Now we can join in the insanity next time there is a huge JP. I wonder how long before someone in California wins? I say within the first three months.
