I bought 4 lines for this draw and again didn't match a single number, even the PB.

Need to find some other ways to pick my numbers.

I feel this pot going to climb into the top 3

Maybe, but it needs to almost double, to about 1.815 billion to be in the real top 3, based on the current cash:annuity ratio.

It will reach a billion by Saturday for sure.

That would require actual sales to be almost twice as much as the original forecast. Call me crazy, but I think that seems just a tiny bit unlikely.

Considering the odds are even higher for mega millions than they are for Powerball ...

The very high odds for

I'm tempted to say I taught you well young Padawan but, I think you and I both had that purchasing method figured out already.

Considering the odds are even higher for mega millions than they are for Powerball I don't understand either why mega millions doesn't hold the jackpot record.

The only thing I can think of is that Powerball has a greater name recognition than mega millions and that casual last minute lotto fever frenzy types mistakenly ask the clerk for a Powerball ticket when they mean mega millions .

I buy 1 ticket with PowerPlay for every $100million of cash value so I have 4 lines for Saturday.

I've been in pools and even ran one for a long time, but didn't have much luck.

I keep trying all the same, hoping for a win.

The odds are so dismal that we're looking at 3 or 4 winners a year. And what happened to the initial 40 million jackpot

It seems Mega can't never get close to the Powerball record. I'm actually waiting to see if we will ever beat the 2 Billion record. I feel this pot going to climb into the top 3 but I don't think it will beat Edwin Castro jackpot. It will reach a billion by Saturday for sure. I'll just get my one ticket with the Powerplay on my own. Not going to go crazy like everyone around the country. Odds stack tremendous against us but it only takes one ticket to win. Plus I'm in a lottery group of 82 peopl... [ More ]

No P-6, it's going to be won by a resident in TN so we won't have to worry about that lil issue.

After nobody won Wednesday's $873.1 million grand prize, the Powerball jackpot increased to a staggering $935 million for Saturday's drawing the 11th-largest US lottery jackpot of all time, and the 5th-largest Powerball jac... [ More ]
