Actually Washington Wizards rookie Chris Singleton spent $10,000 on Mega Millions tickets and lost lol. Not sure if won any of the smaller prizes. But when you got that kind of money already it doesn't matter. You don't even need to play the lottery. But I would say if you can afford my chances it is worth increases your odds some.

I think the jackpot will be around that amount as well, n w players will play and even longer lines now in the stores. People want to win to become part of something historic.

THOSE are some pretty numbers on Powerball site. Darn! Expect a $1.7B Jackpot Wednesday. People will throw even the kitchen sink at Powerball these next coming days

Goodness! Wouldn't be surprised to see people you would never expect (priest, nun, etc) to play waiting in line for tickets in the next few days. Good luck everyone

Nodda4me — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 06:43:19 GMT

I have to say it'll go to at least 1.7 billion.... easy... so many new players will play...

Comment #390

cjcpop2007 — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 06:41:59 GMT

I expect the jackpot to go up more, that's what happens when more money is spent to put in for the jackpot. I do feel very bad for those that spend over 1,000 + and probably not even won that money back.

Looks like even Todd got to fix his signboard as do some lotteries to add word Billion and don't forget about the . needed as well.

Comment #383

alexnt55 — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 06:36:50 GMT

1.3 billion is a low estimate just judging by how much this drawing increased. It increased 450 million from the last drawing. Same amount of sales would make it 1.4 billion. Of course there is a chance that some people spent way more then they could afford to and will not have money for Wed drawing

So many reports of no one winning, which is exciting. It would be a real PITA if an oops came out and someone actually won.

Comment #357

Nodda4me — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 06:19:47 GMT

It s currently unknown if anyone has won the jackpot, and California Lottery officials say it may be hours or even longer before it s known. If nobody wins tonight s jackpot, it could go up to $1.3 billion for the next drawing on Jan. 13.

Considering how there are tens of thousands of PB retail/print machines and that usually they can know in a just a couple hours its pretty snip amazing.

We are too eager to know results right away...especially this time with MILLIONS more tickets sold probably

If there were no winner, do you think sales would be considerably bigger? I gotta imagine some people spent too much and will realize that mistake for the next draw and others just tapped out all their discretionary spending lol

Comment #336

alexnt55 — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 05:54:28 GMT

I looked at up how much the cash value went up and from that it looks to me it would be about 800 million in sales. But i think the formula i used is off a bit because the last drawing using it there were about 50 million more in sales then what i figured so i think you might be pretty close.

Comment #335

HaveABall — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 05:53:56 GMT

Oh dear, Todd, it recently dawned on me that I even had the wrong jackpot game! I was thinking of the biggest competitor of Powerball, Mega Millions; the way it formerly paid the annuity annually in a non-increasing method. Sorry.

Nodda4me — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 05:49:09 GMT

Ok, so maybe you didn t get all five of the numbers, plus the red Powerball. But did anyone?

Not in California, according to California Lottery Spokesman Alex Traverso. However, six tickets were sold in the Golden State with five of the numbers, but no Powerball.

The California winning tickets were sold at the following locations:

7-Eleven, located at 4193 Central Avenue in Fremont (Alameda County) Parkwood Gas Food, 1612 West Hammer Lane in Stockton (San Joaquin County) Nice Mark... [ More ]

unseen — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 05:46:03 GMT

unless I'm participating in a work pool tonight pretty much confirmed why I never spend more than $2 on Powerball. My uncle bought $250 worth of tickets. He had two numbers on a few tickets and the Powerball on 4 tickets and that's it. He won about $36 tonight and that's it. Reminds me of a friend who played briefly in the NBA in the 90's bought over $1000 tickets back when it first reached in the 300 millions and barely won $100. Ugh. lol
