You mean to tell me that after taxes you get 7 mil if you got the only ticket that that's not enough to at least invest 1.00..

In September of 2006 a couple from Iowa won 200 million dollars on Powerball,the very next drawing someone from Kansas won 15 million dollars and the very next drawing after that someone else hit for 15 milon dollars,proving that anyone can win at anytime.Then again it might not get a hit again for several more drawings,proving that there is no rhyme or reason to when someone can hit it.

Never play powerball after a big jackpot such as the last one 222 mil. has been won...you are wasting your money....got to let it build a bit ...maybe spend $2-5 w/ powerplay option...good luck C2

Well, that gives me some hope! I saw that someone won $200,000.00 somewhere in AZ. I started another pool ($1) buy in's for Arizona ONLY lotteries. Maybe the payout isn't as extrordinary as Powerball, but I'll take $100's or $1,000's (I like the sound of millions too)...I'm not greedy...just want a little piece of the pie! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

About two years ago I sent money to my sister out in AZ and played the cash 5..I had four numbers for 500.00..When she cashed the ticket she told me the machine played the song I'm in the money ..I gave her 100.00 of my winnings..

and still...no big JACKPOT!

Umm, you do know the odds are a bit steep, right? Whether there was never a PB winner in AZ or there were 3 last year, your odds of winning are always based on the game odds and how many tickets you buy.

I've been living in Arizona for the past 12 years, and I've been playing the Arizona lotteries for about the last 5 years. One thing that you should realize is that all of the Arizona state lotteries are played using computer generated random number generators (RNG's). Arizona uses RNG's because it's cheaper than using the actual balls (maintanance is a lot cheaper). And yes, I do believe that Arizona is long overdue to win the PowerBall Lottery.

The best that I ever did was to get 5 out of 6... [ More ]

I live in Iowa and there have only been 6 Powerball jackpot winners here.I'm kind of hoping that since Powerball moved from Iowa to Florida the jackpot might land in Iowa again.It hasn't hit Iowa since 2006.Its way past due.

Amen! Seriously...I've been in Arizona for almost 6 years and I have dabbled around the lottery and scratchers or the local casinos but I decided to put together an office pool and we have been playing for 5 weeks now and we have won between $13 and $156 dollars. I usually collect around $200-$250 in the pool and apply all winnings towards that as well...doesn't seem like much but it's exciting to think about winning but considering the odds and the return? I started reading a lot more about the... [ More ]

There have been 9 winning Powerball tickets sold in Arizona.The most recent was Barry Barbara Salzman from Las Vegas,Nevada in 2007.A couple of months before that the Arizona 9 shared a Powerball jackpot.

When will Arizona win POWERBALL? I looked at multiple websites and can not find any history on winners in Arizona? Is Powerball new to Arizona? If so, how long and why don't we ever win? I have an office pool going and really started researching lottery stuff and can't seem to come up with anything in Arizona. Granted...we win a lot from Pick 3/5, Cash 4 and scratchers but do I really need to consider moving to another state? Just Kidding
