Actually, it's nothing quite so dramatic. I'm on the West Coast presently, so my time clock is running a bit behind my normal East Coast timeliness. I hope you're all being safe back home with the storm.

Amen Thrifty. I love these people who think the elderly have no value or are too old to win the lottery after they retire. I bet they worked during their lives and they deserve it as much as anyone else. I am glad I was raised to respect the elderly and did volunteer work at retirement homes, etc. The green eyed monster is alive and well.

Todd might not be too excited about these slow moving jackpots.

Live in S FL for a while

No thanks. FL is the only place where loud music, movie theater popcorn, and skittles will get you killed. That's if the sinkholes don't get you first. My luck i'll win a jackpot and get shot over a Taco.

Teddi — Thu, 13 Feb 2014 13:28:01 GMT

Live in S FL for a while. Good weather, bad weather, sunny, rainy, overcast. It makes no difference. They still buy the massive Cadillacs so they can barely see over the dashboard, change lanes without looking, mix up the brake pedal with the gas, and pay absolutely no attention to the posted speed limit. All of that with no snow.

OOPS, did not buy a power ball ticket today. Only picked a Pick Six game for Thursday. Big snow storm coming tonight and doubt will be out tomorrow to play the lottery at all. Spent my allowance on this jackpot.

Good Luck to all the Power Ball Players. Hope there is a winner tonight

When the weather warms up, sales will double. The older players can't drive in the ice and snow. This is your only chance to win.

Lottery players are spending less money on Mega Millions and Powerball.

Comment #54

Yes. I bought the $1 Mega Millions Quick Pick Ticket. I matched 1 of 5 plus the Mega Ball.

Comment #53

Win$500Quick — Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:16:19 GMT

Last night the Mega Millions jackpot was $122 million. When I saw it was no winners I assume it would rolled to at least $150 million. I was shocked it rolled to $139 million. Even at a dollar the odds are still keeping players from spending money. Going to interesting to see what has with Powerball tonight if there is no winners. Maybe players are moving back to smaller state jackpots.

SELLING LOTTERY TICKETS THROUGH THE INTERNET IS A GREAT SOLUTION. Illinois lottery sells lottery tickets online to its residents. Illinois residents are also able to buy lottery tickets using a MOBILE APPLICATION.

Comment #41

THRIFTY — Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:07:54 GMT

$2 ticket price makes up for Powerball LOW PLAYERSHIP. Forget about the weather, lottery players are not spending BIG MONEY on these elusive BIG JACKPOTS.

It seems like the frenzy starts at a higher jackpot than the previous frenzy each time.

$100M used to do it, now that's hardly noticed.

Now it's closer to $300M.

Hey Thrifty, you might need to get another PB ticket for Weds drawing because that one expired on 8/14/13.

weshar75 — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 22:49:31 GMT

The weather has something to do with it because we had a foot of snow here in oregon and people are staying inside not going out unless they have too. Plus alot of people across the u.s. have bad weather conditions so maybe that is affecting sales of lotto.-weshar75

Comment #35

LottoMetro — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 22:44:50 GMT

The average number of sales per draw this run has only been about ~18,100,000 tickets. Compare that to a previous 11-draw run to $312M with average per-draw sales of ~25,550,000 tickets. That one was immediately preceeded by a 12-draw run to $300M with average per-draw sales of ~24,600,000 tickets. Even if the next draw in this run nets 50,000,000 in ticket sales, the average will only just be under 20,400,000 tickets per draw.

The snowstorms may have something to do with it, and people are p... [ More ]

Comment #34

THRIFTY — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 22:34:45 GMT

Saturday was the 13th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner. The jackpot run started December 28 as a $40 million jackpot.

It took a long time to reach $284 Million. I have not seen a Powerball lottery jackpot frenzy yet. Why

Winning the lottery is great, but we can't rely on the lottery to help the economy.

LOTTERY GODS?

THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST IS 666. THE LOTTERY IS CONTROLLED BY SATAN.

Party,

your 25% figure is correct on the initial withholding..but you are forgetting that the total amount is considered income. The current top income tax in any large lottery bracket is 39.6 %. You WILL make up the remaining 14.6 % by April 15th the following year(minus any deductions that you can come up with). Uncle Sam won't let you off that easy. I only deducted federal Tax because I am in one of the states that doesnt have a state income tax or a tax on dividends/interest income(N.H... [ More ]

I am with you some people are so selfish. lol (I wish I could get 5 #1's and 1 mill.) Make me so happy. That's all I need.

1 Mill is not what it use to be, but it's enough to last a life time unless you are stupid with the $. lol

Comment #19

Party1377 — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 23:15:39 GMT

Annuity

$284,000,000

Cash

$162,700,000

Lump-sum cash: $162,700,000

- 25% Federal Tax = - $40,675,000 = $122,025,000

The states like PA that don't take state tax on lottery wins are the best. But even the once that take the most state tax on lottery wins still walk away with well over 100 mill after cash option, federal, and state taxes.

Don't discount your accomplishment. That's a huge deal. BIG CONGRATS!!

Some would say that winning the lottery is a lot easier to come by than a doctorate. One takes luck, the other takes brains, determination and ambition. And if that doesn't do it for you, think how long Gloria had to wait before she won that haul. It paid off in the end.

Lottery Post — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 14:43:36 GMT

By Todd Northrop

There was no jackpot winner in the Saturday night drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery game, causing the grand prize to increase to an estimated $284 million for Wednesday's drawing.

Saturday was the 13th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner. The jackpot run started December 28 as a $40 million jackpot.

The estimated cash value for the new jackpot is $162.7 million. After-tax cash and annuity prize amounts are reported state-by-state on the Jackpot Analy... [ More ]
