Each ticket bought has just the same amount of chance of winning as the next one. If you look at the states that have consitantly won they have the lions share of the winning tickets every drawing. Which in my opinion is bad because Oregon is not a big winning state for powerball so the chances of my state winning a jackpot are slim to none.
