Now wouldn't it be nice if they decided to have the Powerplay just this time automatically set @ 10?!!

Kentucky lottery gave a free PB ticket in celebration of their Fun Club, so all set to win the big guy on-line to set a record that may never be broken!!

Good luck everyone.

It all depends on what you compare it to and what games are available.

The second prize of $500,000 has about 12 million to one odds.

Here in Michigan the Club Keno 10 spot extra has a $500,000 top prize payout but those odds are 15 million to one and there is no $10 million dollar prize on the CK unless you try a $40 ticket!

It all depends on how it compares to what ever is available in the jurisdictions you can play in.

It is sad that people in other countries can play

Others may disagree, but my favorite new feature in Powerball is the Double Play drawing. I like it much better than Power Play. It gives you an extra drawing for all your numbers, and the prizes are pretty darn good.

Over the past three decades, there have also been 393 jackpot-winning tickets in the game,

393 jackpots/30 years = 13.1 jackpots per year. It certainly is not like that today and only reminds us of how great Powerball once was!

We are lucky to get half that amount of jackpots per year now.

This info should only serve the players to demand that MSL make Powerball great again!

It is truly sad that Powerball isn't as dynamic and exciting as it once was.
