$545 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot rolls a record 37 times

A little over 37 million tickets were sold for the 9/21 drawing and not even close to the 590 million tickets someone is claiming. Those one drawing 590 million tickets would cost $1.18 billion and cash value is $450 million.

Could be people are simply forgetting the $2 ticket cost and none of the tickets sold for the previous 36 drawings can win.

You said it was 10%. ... Nobody here knew that combo was played 500 times before it hit.

Maybe we should put this on hold until you develop the reading comprehension of a 5th grader. Right now I think you'd be outmatched by a 2nd grader.

if it disagrees with 87% it's wrong

You did that official crook. You said it was 10%. I always said it was 97% for 590 miliones sold. So what if you are a lottery man? I got no problem with that. Just say the truth. Those figures are not easily available to me and mere mortals. but they are available to you. Nobody here knew that combo was played 500 times before it hit.

I didnt say that I am anybody crook. You just try to fool people with your systesms and get mad when somebody questions your foundation. If you pull out real data all your systems fail miserably. Yup its possible you are worse than random, than quick picks. You spam this place like plague but it s you who kick people when they show real figures of your sschemes. Shame on you crook of the desert

I thought they sold some 590 million ticks per draw after that many rollovers. In that case the chance of jackpot is way over 90%

If they sold that many tickets for multiple drawings then the chance of a winner would be over 90% because there would be a lot more than 590 million tickets. For a total of 590 million (randomly chosen) tickets the chance is 87%. Once again, what you think doesn't change the math.

People would have more incentives to play if higher prizes at all levels are ex... [ More ]

A lot of people had to be playing Powerball this Wed. Because no one won and the jackpot went up $50 million to $620 million.

I think the chance is higher than 87%.'

Math isn't based on what you think, and the chance of at least 1 winner out of 591.5 million tickets is 87%

It is cumulative, we should consider the previous drawings also.

No, math isnt your stronghold. There are websites that calculate the odds of powerball based on tickets played. You cant post links here for one reason or another. You can google though. Most calculations show 97% chance at jackpot for 590 million tickets sold in Powerball.... [ More ]

The most recent increase suggests sales of perhaps 30 million tickets, and that means a bit less than a 10% chance of a winner.

So it s not 84% it s only 10%. I thought they sold some 590 million ticks per draw after that many rollovers. In that case the chance of jackpot is way over 90%. But if they only sell 30 million tickets from draw to draw then the chance doesn t increase at all.

As I said they should stop rollover at 20. That s enough. At that point MUSL should allocate all funds

590 million tickets played and none had 21-22-39-44-60+12.

Those 590 million tickets were sold over 36 drawings. For all we know those particular numbers were played 500 times in the 35 drawings before they happened to be the winning numbers but you only win by playing the numbers that win for the drawing you bought the ticket for.

but 8th for cash value...

Cash to jackpot is running something like 71.95%

The tree top ones.

Powerball: $983.5 million cash, Jan. 13, 2016 ($1.5864 billion annuity) - California, Florida, Tennessee Mega Millions: $877.8 million cash, Oct. 23, 2018 ($1.537 billion annuity) - South Carolina Mega Millions: $776.6 million cash, Jan. 22, 2021 ($1.05 billion annuity) - Michigan

And cash/jackpot..

62% 57.11% 73.96%

The proportion was up to 83% last year... (Imagine 843% of

For me it's losing fatigue. There was nothing wrong with the old 175,000,000 to 1 Matrix and the $150 million to $400 million jackpots! There were also many more second prize winners along with more jackpots being paid out. I believe I am not the only one that is noticing how few prizes are actually paid out. That Billion dollar JP that paid out in Detroit this year had no second prize winners in Michigan. A lot of people say they play just hoping to win second prize so it isn't very fun when no...

590 million tickets played and none had 21-22-39-44-60+12. Look like numbers to play at least once, only 2 consecutives. I think the chance is higher than 87%. It is cumulative, we should consider the previous drawings also. Anyhow they should stop rollover at 20. The jackpot should be shared by the second tier winners.

KY Floyd — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 06:41:13 GMT

3/2*36=54 so maybe this one still has a way to roll?

The first 22 drawings in this run were on the old W/Sa schedule, with just the last 16 drawings (not including the latest rollover) on the new M/W/Sa schedule. Of course MUSL is hoping that 3 drawings per week will translate to more weekly ticket sales than 2 drawings per week, but I'm not sure that's happening (yet?). If we look at jackpot runs by the number of weeks before they're won this one is now at 16.5 weeks, so we need another 5 d... [ More ]

Well...hmmm....remember when they added the Monday draw they said the jackpots would grow faster and bigger? According to the Todd-O-Stats the $1 billion Mega Millions Jackpot from earlier this year was a 36 roller before it got hit!

3/2*36=54 so maybe this one still has a way to roll

I am actually shocked that no one has won the grand prize since June 9th. Considering the gigantic amount of people who play each week that is amazing.

The total number of tickets sold isn't really all that big relative to the odds. Total sales through Saturday's drawing was about 591.5 million tickets. While we can expect a long term average of 1 winning ticket for every 292 million tickets, the actual chance of getting at least 1 winner out of 591.5 million tickets is only about 87%. And t...

Yeah she is sweet, l even liked her acting in Passengers Jeff. The movie was panned, but the question remained Was waking her up unforgivable because if you didn't that ship would have been destroyed. Kinda like Gloria Mackenzie- if she did not cut in line at that exact moment, she may not have been the sole winner of that massive jackpot.

Tony Numbers — Mon, 27 Sep 2021 02:24:04 GMT

They raised the price one buck a ticket to two bucks. They increased the number of balls. Increases the odds of winning. They are getting the rollovers, but the amount of the jackpot increase is not comeserate with the higher ticket cost. YOU ARE BEING SWINDLED

She is very sweet and her family still lives in Louisville, KY. When I worked in PICU she would visit the kids either X-mas Eve or Christmas Day and take one group picture with the staff. She donated $1 million to our new Jennifer Lawrence CVICU...something I've never seen since I retired! She is just as nice as could be.

I am actually shocked that no one has won the grand prize since June 9th. Considering the gigantic amount of people who play each week that is amazing. I wonder how many Beverly Hills mansions could you buy if you took the lump sum ($392 million)? or if you paid yourself a salary each month would you actually be able to stick to it? Do most people really need financial advisers? So many questions, but there is only one way to find out. Win baby, win. Good luck to all.

$545 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot rolls a record 37 times

Lottery Post — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 20:22:28 GMT

14th-largest US lottery jackpot in history

By Todd Northrop

After a record 37th-consecutive drawing without a winner, the Powerball multi-state lottery game now features a jackpot that will provide multi-generational wealth to the lucky player who eventually wins it all.

After nobody won Saturday's $528.8 million grand prize, the Powerball jackpot increased to a whopping $545 million for Monday's drawing the 14th-largest US lottery jackpot of all time.
