$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rolling

Yeah, I can't imagine missing 5 Star Draw! lol I've never even played it.

Comment #73

HoLeeKau — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 23:16:17 GMT

Yeah they're pretty bad. I got a survey a few months ago asking if I'd miss 5 Star Draw. I replied that I'd cheer if it went away. So hopefully they will come up with something better that's not a $5 ticket like 5 Star is.

I drive over to Oregon every couple of months to get Powerball tickets for $2, and buy their Megabucks if the jackpot is getting high. I never win more than a free ticket on that one.

Only one jackpot winner in the state of OREGON

but the results were delayed

Comment #71

Bleudog101 — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 11:17:03 GMT

Thanks for the info. For some reason powerball.com is blocked on my computer and won't come up on my Android either. The block just ended for Mega millions.

Glad no individual state held up the data/security stuff to Iowa as happens infrequently

hearsetrax — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 10:27:15 GMT

well seems like some bleep/s in the state Oregon took home the big winner from last night

Comment #69

PrisonerSix — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 06:47:38 GMT

Numbers are up. I had 6 lines, matched one number each on 3 of them. Didn't match any Powerballs.

I'll check in the morning to see if it rolls again.

Comment #68

KY Floyd — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 06:02:24 GMT

2. There will be some holdup in getting the winning numbers ....... 8 to 10 hours wait.

Well, you got one prediction at least partly right. Still can't tell how close you were on the length of the delay. I'll also give you extra credit for specifying a problem with getting the winning numbers and not just a general problem with reporting results.

If you look at their website it says delayed

As others have said, that indicates an issue that keeps them from posting winning numbers. T... [ More ]

ShagE3 — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 05:15:02 GMT

If anyone of y'all happen to see a Robin in your yard tomorrow ..... It could mean you won the Powerball jackpot.

I don't want to get political and all but seriously folks TAXES who needs them?

Also just out of curiosity .....would a bleudog,not bleudog101, eat bleu cheese or chicken cordon bleu or a blue plate special or bleu eggs and ham? This enquiring mind wants to know.

Actually I Am In Maryland, and We Too Have Both Power Play And Double Play. Maryland Is The First And Only State that Won The Double Play Jackpot Of $10,000,000, since the Double Play Started and it the ticket EXPIRED!!! So I Do Not Know About Ripoffs, Just The Luck Or unlucky In This Case of The Draw.

You know what?

if they don't announce anything tomorrow...

it may be the EBS and the 10 days of Darkness/Disclosure...

before they do the draw...

then... maybe Shag's numbers will come out...

just spit balling here...

viceroy2 — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 04:11:00 GMT

if those. are the numbers that come out....

my prediction (and believe me, it'd probably be the same if any of my number combos came out or anyone else's on here)...

would be a lot of envious folks....

Normally I post mine on FB on the day of the draw (always the same number combos)

And my fear would be... if mine ever DID come out ... and all my FB Friends 'Scoffed' and wouldn't play them for me... they'd start flame warring me and try to have me cancelled.... all the way...... [ More ]

It's not rigged ..... It's just predetermined .... kinda like pro wrestling.

Speaking of which last night was night 1 (of 2) of WrestleMania..... did anyone place any bets out there

Delayed with over a billion dollar jackpot once again. Gives it's rigged argument ppl more ammo.

Hi HoLeeKau. I'm still in Idaho and wishing we had some better state jackpot games.

The Powerball website posted:

Tonight, we have one participating lottery that needs additional time to complete required pre-draw procedures, which have been enacted to protect the security and integrity of the Powerball game .

Yes again, news says 1 state hasn't finished predraw procedures

California I bet, we will see, they had all day to get it right

One final word .... OLIVELOAF.

3rd runner up final word ..... Engelbert Humperdinck.

Here is the rumored winning number sequence for tonight's Powerball drawing : 1-3-13-26-39 *23*

Bleudog101 — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 00:00:25 GMT

Is this Idaho by any chance??

No, we can choose $2 plain PB, or add $1 for either PP or DP or give them $4 for both. Did that on last ticket purchased either.

We still cannot do DP on line however.

Comment #48

JustMaybe — Sat, 06 Apr 2024 23:53:17 GMT

Hahaha you should try the Manifestation crew.

I am taking possession of #7

7. One winning ticket will be from LotteryPost.

I will have tonights PB jackpot winning ticket

They say that the universe listens to us, so here we go.

Comment #47

HoLeeKau — Sat, 06 Apr 2024 23:52:11 GMT

My state discontinued Powerball without the powerplay when Double Play came along. Now you have to spend $3 for PB and another $1 if you want the DP. Is that how your state handles it too

Comment #46

JustMaybe — Sat, 06 Apr 2024 23:48:46 GMT

I too did not match any number on MM for the last three draws. Have not matched any number on PB as well this week. Hoping that tonight I match something.

This week I played multi draw. Got one line for 3 different draws for PB and one line for 2 different draws for MM. So that's $15 for PB and MM for the week. I have each draw covered for the week.

On Thursdays and Sundays I play lucky for life.

Last minute predictions :

1. The final 'pot will end up totalling 1 billion ..... 3 hundred 33 million, 3 hundred 33 thousand, 3 hundred 33 dollars.

2. There will be some holdup in getting the winning numbers ....... 8 to 10 hours wait.

3. I will skip the liverwurst sandwich for one night only.

I didn't match anything on MegaMillions last night, but I did buy a ticket for Tuesday's drawing today. I'm trying another method to pick my numbers and hope it might make a difference. I'm combining selecting my own numbers with randomness and hope that gets me some better results.

Wanted to buy a rescue PB ticket this morning. He didn't have change for $100 so went to ATM and came back. He said hold on, something is not right. Turns out it was for last Wednesday. I thanked him and said I would probably not have noticed it.

Coupon on-line so bought a PB with Double play @ another store prior to above mentioned comment.

Does anyone think it might get bumped up a bit for tonight

JustMaybe — Sat, 06 Apr 2024 05:44:38 GMT

It looks like even as the PB jackpot grows, MM still has a loyal fan base. I am one of them.

Or to put it in a better way, I buy a $3 ticket for both PB and MM regardless of the amount to be won.

Comment #36

KY Floyd — Sat, 06 Apr 2024 05:27:56 GMT

I wouldn't call it an adjustment, but it's not at all rare for the cash:annuity ratio to remain the same from one drawing to the next. According to the worksheets on the TX website the last two runs have consistently kept the same ratio for 3 consecutive drawings before changing for the next 3 drawings. What's unusual is a change as big as this one. The annuity estimate was increased by $70 million, while the cash value only increased by $13.8 million. We've seen mistakes in some of the reported...

Comment #35

ShagE3 — Sat, 06 Apr 2024 05:03:24 GMT

I was only joking ... I had already read about the increase to 1.3 billion . .. so I made a fake bet that the jackpot would increase by 125 dollars.

PS : the pace that mega millions is currently on by the time it reaches 40 draws it would be a multi billion jackpot.

Peace

I betcha this jackpot will reach 1.300000125 billion. I know I'm going out on a limb here but, I had to say it.

If I'm correct in my prediction ....... y'all gotta try my traditional luncheon of liverwurst sandwich on rye with arugula tomato red onion Dijon mustard and 3 gherkin pickles and a bowl of sweet potato chips. Don't forget the sasparilla, birch beer, moxie or cream soda to wash it all down with.

You'll be taxed at the highest rate - 37%

Comment #24

Todd — Fri, 05 Apr 2024 16:55:29 GMT

It's very common, and in fact rarely is the cash and annuity adjusted proportionally. Many times the cash value changes but the annuity is not adjusted. Keep in mind they are both estimates, and we are strictly speaking here about numbers being adjusted prior to the drawing.

Comment #23

KY Floyd — Fri, 05 Apr 2024 16:51:10 GMT

The Saturday jackpot was raised to $1.3 billion , with a cash option of $608.9 million .

I'm wondering if they managed a typo for the cash value. If the cash:annuity ratio stayed the same it would be $628.9 million cash. If it's really $6 0 8.9 that's a pretty big change in interest rates, and a fairly big coincidence that the difference is an even $20.0 million. The TX website hasn't posted the worksheet yet, but that should give us the answer if MUSL doesn't make a change first.... [ More ]

To be fair, the same people that don't spend the extra $1 are the same people that would sit at a Blackjack table that pays 6:5 on a blackjack.

I am a firm believer that winning the jackpot is all about luck .

However, you have to do something for the luck to find you.

That's why I buy my lottery ticket for every draw and hope that one day luck will find me.

Here is to wishing all of us who believe in luck a lucky draw.

Bleudog101 — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 20:18:40 GMT

Let's not forget California does not have Powerplay option.

I'll never know if they took my suggestion to @ least add Double play to their Powerball, but like Todd said it is not in their laws to allow that. Makes about as much sense as Nevada not offering lotteries because it is against their Constitution. Powerful lobbyists I'd venture to say from the one arm bandits no doubt.

My pool did not win with the number 23.

Both games have surpassed the $1 billion mark.

It's been a long drought. The 15 hit in Powerball in January, and that was after nearly a year. I just need the 15 to hit again Saturday....along with the other 5 numbers. Although, I'll be more than happy just hitting the 1st 5 with the Power Play. Good luck to you

Comment #10

DDBagger519 — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 16:03:29 GMT

I'm actually surprised people weren't saying the same thing about #4 last year. It hadn't come out for over 6 months. Then, when it finally appeared it appeared about 9 times within 3 months. And I believe 4-5 of those times were within March of 2023 when it finally showed up after being missing for 6 months. And I believe last I checked, it has appeared 15-16 times over the course of the past year.

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rolling

Lottery Post — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 10:46:08 GMT

8th-largest lottery jackpot in world history

By Todd Northrop

Last night, the multi-state Powerball lottery game produced no top winner for the 39th consecutive drawing, prompting lottery officials to raise the game's jackpot to an astonishing $1.23 billion.

A winner who chooses the cash option would receive a lump-sum $595.1 million more than a half-billion dollars in cash!

It's the stuff that a lottery player's dreams are made of holding a lottery ticket for an upcoming Powerba... [ More ]
