Car. and USVI, is when more balls went into the hopper. Good idea, up the smaller prizes. There maybe too many people... [ More ]

OK, I'll admit it...I was wrong...I was sure that TN would go with MM over the Rebecca factor . But, with this decision, the TELC retailers were not the only one's rejoicing. I am sure that the VA lottery retailers along the TN line who make a ton of $$$ of TN players playing MM were jumping for joy too. (The same can probably be said for the GA lottery retailers along the TN border as well.

i think it all depends on how it plays. powerball seems to have high prizes but if it keeps adding states it might have to change to reflect how many people live in a powerball state.

I think they will keep at 53 white and increase the PB to either 47 or 49.

This is not surprising.Obviously Paul is trying to stick it to her old friends in GA after the way the treated her on her departure.Also, now that Powerball will have 27 lotteries, isn't it time to bump the starting jackpot to $15 Million
