Cash 5 here pays $500 but my wife wants to play Powerball to get the $2 million. $3! Of course I can't even win the Cash 5. But I do like the Cash 5.

If you have to wait for a first or second price to break even, then it is the wrong game.

calculations I did and maybe Powerball and Mega Millions have a good spot to aim for,

the 5 numbers. Getting the power ball along with the play is good. Perhaps the extra

$1 is worth it. Who knows.

Powerball:

For 175,223,510 odds and starting jackpots at $40 million.

$40 million / 175,223,510 is rounded to 23 cents payout per odd.

$1 million / 5,153,633 is rounded = 19 cents.... [ More ]
