Why is it the mid west, south, and east coast have winners?

I believe it's the Heisenberg compensator.

It's the per capita thing. In some states there's one person for every person in the state, but in the states that win PB MM a lot there's two or even trhee people for every person in the state. I think it has something to do with the electoral college, or maybe Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. At any rate, it causes people in those states to buy more tickets

The great psykomo is no gimmick, he is the real deal.

Those that attempt to bring him down, will themselves be brought down.

You have been warned #smh.

Wow, I'm impressed! Thanks for holding off the beast. The rest of us still have a chance for a few more months.

I would think it is a matter of the demographics of the lottery players. Common sense dictates that if more tickets are sold in an area, then more winners will be from those areas. The fact that there are winners outside the states with the most sales just testifies to the randomness of the drawings.

That said, when will PB JP hit Texas?????? They sell lots of tickets ther... [ More ]

What kind of winners do you want there? I'm sure there have been plenty of lower tier prizes spread throughout the country.

CA players can fill out their PB bet-slips, and pay the lottery retailers for their PB tickets before April 8th, they just won't receive any tickets.

RJOh — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 01:08:54 GMT

According to LP news https://www.lotterypost.com/news/253694

California decided to join PB today but the first Powerball sales will begin on April 8,2013.

Original Bey — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 01:04:05 GMT

April as LP article indicated. If you check the CA website it reflects the same thing.

I begged the MUSL to give me a few more months before CA joins and hog up all the jackpots. They agreed.

Winners popping up in the South?

Huh?

I think Tennessee has had only one jackpot winner if I'm not mistaken.

I'd look it up but I don't feel like it.

So let's just go with my conjecture for now.

Why never WA, OR, or CA for that matter......................

CA isn't a PB state yet, that may be the reason they've never won, but as a MM state they have won their share of MM jackpots. Next year when they become a PB state, they will win their share of PB jackpots too.

Well it seems to me that WA state is rare when it comes to PB and MM winners... I find it odd that others states have more winners and i wonder if it is demographics of more people per captia in a state

zinniagirl — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:53:30 GMT

Arizona is considered the West! CA doesn't have PB but has won MM quite often. Since the numbers are drawn at random, states will win at random. There is not a conspiracy to let certain states, cities, ethnic groups, male/female, rich, poor etc win. All who buy a ticket have an equal chance (1 in 175,000,000) to win. The machine that does the drawing does not know who or where the winning ticket is from or if there is even a winning ticket.

I think you are the first blogger in the history of LP that listed CA as a state that rarely wins.

I will leave it to the more articulate members to levy a response to your grave concerns.

Why is it the mid west, south, and east coast have winners?

tony869 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:32:18 GMT

I was wondering why is it that there seems to be a patern of winners popping up in the mid-west, south, and east coast? Why never WA, OR, or CA for that matter and i have seen the pictures of numbers from each state and it looks way different than WA lotto machine spits out.. Can someone elaborate on this topic and thanks..
