How is Powerball cheating their players out of cash? Maybe they are when the jackpot hits the cap, but other than that, under Powerball's equal annuity payments system, the cash jackpot would still be the same; the annuity would just be smaller.

We do not have a pick5 game in Oregon we have Oregon Megabucks which is Megais bad. I have won about the same on powerball as I have off megais bad so I play for the higher jackpot.-weshar75

PB by the time it drawed last night was almost $3 million over the annuity they projected and yet they were $200 thousand below on the cash value estimate. I kind of feel like powerball is cheating the players out of cash. Dam them new rules and that backloaded annuity. I want a 50% or higher payout on the cash option. MUSL has Powerball players bent over the table.-weshar75
