I'm one of those non-jackpot-winning pennsylvanians... Dibs! PA has a serious representation at the ticket machines... Hopefully they all go out to vote.I would like to see hot lotto roll over if it came to PA... our 5/39 cash5 is hit almost every night...

No one can seriously argue that your odds are better in some states than others. For example, even if you had five consecutive jackpot winners in Pennsylvania, you have to take into account all the other Pennsylvanians (in their hundreds of thousands if not millions) that played but didn't win. And there have been cases of outsiders (i.e. non residents) travelling in a state and buying a winning ticket there. It's purely random. Instead of just focusing on the jackpot, I think you should read... [ More ]

Ya'll know I don't know numbers so I will depend on the Gods. lord Quick Pick, and sometimes lord Calvert! But always our Lord Jesus. I figure if I play enough I might at least win a few dollars! I haven't even on $3.00 in over two months! I play twice a week buying $5 at a time. I think I have the letter L on my forehead

here's what i got out of powerball.com:- population determines where the jackpot is usually won. the more tickets bought in a general area, the more likely the jackpot will be won in that area, but i guess anything can happen.

But I dont think that matters anyway.

it isn't location as much as it is population. i read on powerball.com that the number of jackpot winners in a state is about poportional to the ticket sales in that state.

Who cares where most jackpots have been won?!?According to your logic, if markp1950 moved to New York his odds of winning would improve.
