Well hopefully they can break 100 million more than this year. I think Mega has more potential now of larger jackpots even after Powerball switches to the new matrix.

I'm actually looking forward to new Powerball.

Hmmm. Well I did e-mail them about adding a $1 single line option.

I'd actually prefer Hot Lotto over Match 6. I really don't like that game (personal preference).

It also has Match 6, which is a heck of a lot better than Powerball's Runty Twin.

CO - PA is closer to me than WV, and the traffic in DC is horrible (not to mention the neighborhoods on the east side (nearest me) are horrible. I buy my PB tickets in a small town just north of the MD border in Shrewsbury, PA - 1st exit in PA on interstate 83.

mst:Why not DC or WV? PA has Unlucky for Life instead of Hot Lotto.

Has a firm date been set for the upcoming Powerball matrix change? I checked the main Powerball site and don't see any information. I travel from central MD to PA to buy Powerball tickets. Since gas is so expensive I only travel once every 4 weeks and buy advance draw tickets for 8 draws. I assume as the change over approaches, advance draws are limited. I need to know when the last drawing of the current matrix will be so I can be prepared for my trips.
