Ronnie,

Although the state capital is Springfield it's Chicago that runs everything. Good luck changing gun laws.

The dog barks in Chicago and wags its tail in Springfield , i.e. the rest of us don't even exist.

Here's some trivia for you, people who live in Illinois' seven southernmost counties pay in-state tuition of they go to Kenticky colleges.

The more tickets that are sold increases the chances they might up the jackpot. So get out there and buy, buy, buy. I'm gonna buy about $6 worth here soon.

If you won the money you could go on a crusade to change your state laws......

We still have over three hours for that decision to come forth.

I think it's very possible probable

I see what you're saying coin toss....low profile yes....but if you win this money it's darn near going to be impossible.....and Im'm just saying the unwanted high profile is one problem that I could accept along with my win...Give me the money I will say NO and keep on keeping on

Not afraid as much as the desire to keep a low profile.

A couple of ywars ago someone in this area won $4M in the state lottery. Police caught people trying to get into his house.......they were there waiting for them (had been tipped off) and when the bad guys approached the house the police overheard them say, This is the millionaire's house, let's kill him and take the money .

(As if the winner kept it all in cash in the house, dumb criminals).

I don't know if we'll ever see a billion dollar jackpot, but I'm fairly certain we'll see a half-billion dollar cash value, possibly as soon as next year. I think the current run will end before we get to $500M cash.

mcginnin,

No, if I won it I wouldn't walk away from it, but if it's at $1B I doubt I'd play it.

In Illinois they have these monitors now wherever they sell lotto - '$2725 was won in this store last week '- OK so far. Then they put pictures, first names and last initials up of people who win, and not just jackpots.

At first they put first and last names and hometowns of winners but people contacted Northstar and said please don't be responsible for another Abraham Shakespeare. (Look him... [ More ]

I think a PowerBall jackpot will reach that amount sooner or later because its ticket price prevent players from buying enough tickets to generate the kinds of coverage that make it unlikely to ever happen. Some states are already changing their laws to protect large jackpot winners, once it happens other state will have to do the same if they expect to attract more players when jackpots reach those level.

I don't understand why people say they won't play if the jackpot hits a certain high amount, it makes no sense to me. Last year I went on vaction to Florida and we took a water taxi through Fort Lauderdale where the houses on the water were in the tens of millions, but not only that, the taxes on those houses were in the millions of dollars per year! Million of dollars per year just for taxes. Only the ultra rich live there, guy who owns the Sunglass Hut, Hooters restaurant, even the who who inv... [ More ]

You would walk away from $1,000,000,000 to be anonymous.

You are already anonymous, so why bother playing

I think junkies would give up the habit for that week in pursuit of the dream.

The constitution nor the lottery promises happiness, but they both enable us all to PURSUE IT.

I'm not sure it will ever reach $1,000,000,000, but if it does I don't think I'd want to win that one unless I was in a state that lets you stay anonymous.

For that amount, that might still be a challenge.

Yes of course it will. Silly question.

Do you think we will ever see??

billionaire2bee — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 22:20:00 GMT

With the powerball rolling to the 4th largest jackpot it's been and the huge 640 million megamillions jackpot we saw this year...Do you think the jackpot will ever roll to the unheard of.........1 BILLION dollar jackpot?? That would be too amazing....what would the cash value be on that....would you go for broke trying to win the biggest jackpot that ever was? I just wonder with all the frenzy we have with this jackpot now....how crazy would it get at the billion dollar jackpot
