I thought the biggest gripe about Powerball would be the jackpot odds.

Highball is right I was looking at the Powerball home webpage and it did mention a winner from Sat. drawing. I thought it was a mistake until I look up the webpage tonight, and sure enough, a winner is found .

highball,Welcome to Lottery Post, I'm glad you decided to join!I think they made a mistake in saying the winner happened Saturday. If you click the read more link, you'll see the press release is dated October 20th, so they are not talking about this past Saturday.

A MAJOR gripe about Powerball!!

Hi folks,I've been lurking for quite some time now, but decided to join this evening (and thank you, Todd, for setting up this site).OK, now on to my little rant that I've have with Powerball!As you probably know by now, there was a winner in last Saturday's draw, but the powers-to-be had decided NOT to inform the players about it untill AFTER tonight's drawing!!! WTF is up with that? Is the MUSL actually withholding winning info in order to increase the pot a little higher?This is not the only... [ More ]
