I'm not in a PB or MM state, but I'll say no because I wish our state Lotto was still just once a week. I realize the jackpot increases a little when it rolls over, but it also makes people spend more. I know someone is going to react to this because I said makes people but I believe many of us are using personal numbers and systems that they fear will hit if they miss a drawing.

No, I think 2 drawings a week is just fine.

Overall three would be too many mike.

I have a hard time just keeping up with the challenges for twice a week, let alone three especially during the winter months. ( Ha Ha ) ....

I have to say no. I have a certain amount I let my play each Saturday/Wednesday and I think adding a third drawing is just too much. If they did, I'd probably only continue to play one or two days a week anyways.

Real bad typing + a Freudian slip? (I often say cemetery instead of seminary, too!)

Might make a real good forum for positive and negative stories about jackpot winners - Winners and Sinners

I think 3 drawings per week would be too many, but I doubt it would change the overall number of sinners.

Either one or both of the MM and PB websites say that there's 12 to 15 winners a year.

Two drawings a week is 104 a year, so let's call it 15 winners and that's 14.4% of drawings producing a winner.

Three draws a week would be 156 draws a year and 14.4% of 156 is 22.46, call it 23. So theorhetically the third weekly draw would incrase the number of sinners by 8 a year. Out of all the millions of people who play the only one I see really benefiting here is the lottery.

Actually two draws a week is too much, three way too much confusion.

If they'd roll back to one draw a week I'd even concede to them charging $2 a ticket to keep the matrix the same and hopefully drive jackpots higher to attract impulse players.

would you like a third draw a week for powerball and mega millions?
