Wikipedia writes that it's in the state's business plan for 2013.

Santa may make the announcement on Christmas Eve.

I wondered why I hadn't seen any signs or adverstisements for PB at any of the places that sell lottery tickets. Wasn't there banners with Mega Milions Coming Soon! when that was going to start here in California

This is not true, I have checked with Lottery Officials and California is not getting the Powerball in January or anytime soon.

And Illinois will be able to play all jackpot games online by December 1. Of course, the lottery Visa debit card will also be going away, so I don't know what the unbanked players will do.

Florida Lotto is now $19 Million. I did not play Powerball Saturday even though the Jackpot was $124 Million and I won't be playing tomorrow with the rollover. Good Luck to all players.

40 Million or 500 Million - it's all way more than I'll ever need any which way you look at it.

Florida Lotto is now $16 Million. I will be chasing this jackpot for now. Powerball sales have to be down, because the jackpot is rolling at $10 million increments since the price increase. Remember when the jackpots you to roll between $15-$25 million when the price was $1. A Dollar and A Dream.

Because of the extreme cold in NH, we must wear gloves and foot warmers at all times.

Therefore we choose to count with our eyelashes and ear lobes, so much more efficient, and relaxing.

I have heard of such devices. Perhaps with the $100 million, a state of the art counter could be afforded?

To keep the unemployment levels down, I would also hire a dozen or so people from this site to count my money daily.

If they were in $100 dollar bills, it would take you 18 years, 3 months, 4 days, 3 hours and 12 minutes to count that jackpot.

We also have Hot Lotto here in NH, which is quickly climbing to a $5 million jackpot for a $1 price of admission. 5/39, 1/19 bonus number.

California no doubt, should make a significant difference in the future PB jackpot sizes.

In the final analysis, we players will vote with our wallets and purses, to determine the future of any lottery game. Time will tell, always does.

I guess I am just a little bitter about the change. If MUSL really wanted to see the jackpots grow, they would have left the starting jackpot price the same, taken the extra balls out, and increased price by a quarter.

New York got the PB very late in the game, we always had MM, so for PB to come into our state, and then try to flex some muscles with the price change then they are f**king out of there mind. I see it as a very callous and arrogant move, that is now making jackpots roll at a sn... [ More ]

I understand your points Boner, but I also believe in having choices for players who decide to continue to play the PB as I do.

The jackpot would obviously be the miracle all players welcome, but I'm also gunning for the second prize of a cool $1 million.

That amount would be life changing for me. I will also continue to play MM's, as well as all my states games.

I seriously doubt there will ever be a boycott of Powerball, to reduce the ticket price to $1. This is just a sign of th... [ More ]

I'm sure if Californians had PowerBall, someone from your state would be winning it as often as you all win MegaMillions. California has a lot of lottery players and I'm surprised more of you aren't traveling out of state to win PB too.

Ohio has them both and I'm sure with MM just being won, the attention has shifted to PB. Ohioans were traveling out of state and winning PB long before it came to Ohio. The price increase slowed us down but we didn't quit playing.

I don't know, but I wish I had a chance to win. I live in Cali and we don't have the powerball, but if we did I would play. All our lives we strive for financial independence, or at least most of us do, so if someone should win I feel that it would help there situation out. Lol

No million dollar winners last night. Hmmm....

Do you think people are getting bored with so called big jackpots? Does it take record levels to start the buzz? Maybe we're pinching pennies for the Black Friday Sales.
