Speaking of that, has anyone compared jackpot winners with the state's percentage of ticket sales? I've found a site that lists ticket sales, though the latest data is 3 years old, but I'm having trouble finding reliable and up to date information both on ticket sales breakdowns and numbers of winners from the various states.The site I found is: http://www.lotteryinsider.com/games/pball.htm

remember that the jackpots are won more in heavily populated areas, or the areas that can get a lot of out-of-state players.

Oregon! Everyone hope for Oregon. Been selling powerball tickets since 1992 and has only had 2 winners. This obviously has nothing to do with my living there, purely for goodwill towards the beaver state. So everyone join in! Oregon

But you'd have to pay NY tax.

Connecticut has not seen a jackpot winner since the cash option began in November 1997.

i think CO is way overdue for a winner. they've offered powerball since 2001. since 2002, PA has seen 5 jackpot winners. SC has seen 3. states like ND, VT, and ME have come close in the past.

I think that your right Doc. A state that hasn't won is probably gonna get it.

i'm thinking at least a share of the next jackpot will be won in either VT, ME, CO, TN, or the USVI. i think we're gonna see a state win their first jackpot at the end of this run.
