i'm not talking about winning. i'm talking about the states that are likely to sell a jackpot winner.

You have the same chance of winning no matter where you purchase tickets. The lottery terminal machine does not have a brain. It is unaware of populations and state boundary lines.Chas

Small states with small populations are less likely to sell a winner than the bigger states. Sure it happens, but not too often.

i think IN will never have a cold streak. they are just too populated, and there are too many Powerball players. also, remember that one of the winning Powerball tickets in IN from 2002 was never claimed.

i think if it keeps rolling over, PA will have the winner. if it doesn't, I see a split between Colorado, Vermont, North Dakota, Tennessee, and the US Virgin Islands.

Wisconsin might win this one...yep, it just might. I would consider it an honor to win this one for Wisconsin. A few more roll-overs would be appreciated to a number of let's say $315M

the eastern group of states has a clear advantage in terms of winning the jackpot because those states are more populated. sure the chance of each ticket winning the jackpot are as equal as the nexy, but if a state has a lot of people, then more people will play, and if a state has more people playing, then it will have more people winning.

I sure would like to see a small state win the powerball this time like Oregon. Say in the Willamina/Sheridan area of the state. But if not Oregon then Idaho. One of the Powerball states on the west side of the Powerball game.
