They should make people that got 4/5 participate in a raffle or sweepstake with money from the lottery receipts that have expire....And also ask Huge lottery winners if they will like to contribute something to that sweepstake, raffle, not mandatory only if they like....

Yes, I only play for the Million and it is a nice change to have the automatic 5x powerplay, though I don't like the new Matrix overall.

That's some people's comfort, they missed the numbers by just one. They might just as well have missed by ten.

In 2003 I won $100 by matching 4 of the first 5 numbers in the Powerball 3 times over a period a 5 months. The third time was the most difficult as I missed the 5th number by 1 digit, and so I was pretty much the most miserable $100 winner in Powerball history that day. Most of the time I would buy 1 to 5 quick picks a week depending on the jackpot.

Now with the new Powerball matrix I only get 1 quick pick with power play once or twice a week and pretty much play for the million dollar p... [ More ]
