also if you read that rule it's refering to the maximum total payout for the set prizes (100k, etc) not the jackpot. read part 6.8 to see the grand prize limitations. there you will see it says When the Grand Prize reaches a new high annuitized amount it's limited to a 25 million gain - now that's 339 million. which i doubt will happen

Its refering to the largest pot powerball had before the rule change on 8/25/2001 - 295 million. the next largest pot could only be320 but it was only 314. so the next jackpot... [ More ]

I'm sure there are many well-to-do people living there already.

I think you are right RJOh. But if the jackpot doesnt roll over $200M, I hope I'm the winner.

If there are no winners this Wednesday, Saturday's jackpot will easily roll up to over $200M.RJOh
