I think the Powerball population is more than 83 million - it's probably closer to 96 million.

I would like to see somebody compare Lotto South's three-state population to the odds of winning the 6/49 game. That would prove my comments about LS's matrix being too small.

First Powerball has a cap that will hit at 339.9 million so anything above that will have to come from MM unless you want to wait a long time judging from the recent rollovers in Powerball. Second the lower sales in CA represent a big potential source of sales once the jackpot breaks the 300 million level and is all over the news. All big jackpots so far have been the result of dramatic sales for the largest drawing. Unless this is a new era of lotteries where record pots are the result of slow
