Yea, I was thinking the same, so I just went and bought a PB/W

Only the 3rd one since the last matrix change.

My guess is that the winning PowerBall ticket will be sold during the eclipse somewhere back east.

POWERBALL TOTALITY.

Yeah. Right you are!

I bought PB tix for next Wednesday nights drawing in three different states and I'm thinkin' about adding a fourth and maybe even a fifth while I'm at it. I got 'em in Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania and maybe I'll zip down to New Jersey. Gonna call my brother down in Dunedin and have him buy me some Florida tix too. Gonna be hard to go to all five states at the same time to collect though. The newspapers and media will go wild with it when they find out the same guy... [ More ]

Play. It doesnt matter where you play as long as you have the winning numbers.

Wow interesting read thank you Grwurston...look as a skeptic myself whats important to know jackpots are there to be won but a few factors must be ticked off so perfect timing is key. Dont ever give up on your dreams ...if the time is in sync and you defeat the odds you will pick the rewards and it will be life changing.Goodluck

Programmed? Quite possible.

At 5 p.m. a minimum of six people two drawing officials, two certified public accountants and two senior citizen witnesses gather outside the secure room where the lottery keeps its machines and balls: like Nerf balls, but with microchips. They re locked in a cabinet to which only the accounting firm has the combination. Entrance to the room requires biometric recognition and a WITF staff member. Cameras mounted

Its not rigging....its all about perfect timing and playing at the right time and THEN only defeating the astronomical odds(which is a feat by itself....its good to dream we all do and it can be life changing. I hear you about the matrix changes.....agree fully with you its astronomical.I only want to give one more example and I will be getting a little technical....in our lotto and powerball you will always get or see consecutive skips falling....if it was TRULY random what are the chances of s...

Firstly, it doesn't make sense to buy Powerball tickets anywhere...

Basically, one is buying a dream for $2 with a slim chance of winning one's wager back plus maybe a few extra bucks. Where a jackpot was won in the past doesn't matter. However, with the odds are getting worse and worse every matrix change, soon it'll be a wonder anyone wins anywhere.

Seems to me, the next Powerball matrix change should just go all the way and make the odds beyond astronomical with 1 in many billions odds.... [ More ]

Do you know a person in the lottery industry servicing their machines ? Yes or No ? Ok that out the way all tickets sold are send to central terminal mainframe so they know each combination that's played at close of the draw. The draw machines will be programmed with their sequence...you can have your 10 auditors standing next to the machine to make sure everything is and look legit. You got a point there is allot of combinations BUT use the word RARELY when you say there is more than 3 people w... [ More ]

Ok. I'll bite.

Explain exactly how the lotteries FULLY program mechanical balls blown around by air. People want to hear your facts. But not...a conspiracy theory. Just facts.

Or, maybe it's simple math. In a game with millions of combinations, or hundreds of millions of combinations, (MM and PB), and only a fraction of those combinations are sold, it's not hard to understand that there is only going to be one, or two, or maybe....three jackpot winners.

What's the difference between RNG numbers been programmed and Mechanical balls been programmed allot of people trust ONLY mechanical balls but those numbers are STILL PROGRAMMED to come out....The lottery want you to think those numbers are random but they are FULLY programmed in to come out RNG and Mechanical balls everyone trust.....its 100% the same thing. Ever asked yourself why there mostly only 1 person winning a jackpot ????? Because its FULLY controlled irrespective of what machines are... [ More ]

Lightning Myths: Lightning never strikes the same place twice.

TRUTH: The old saying that 'lightning never strikes the same place twice' is another myth that any veteran storm observer or researcher has seen nature defy. Lightning can strike any location more than once. In fact, given enough time, it is actually inevitable. It may take as little as less than ten minutes within a single thunderstorm, or longer than a million years, but lightning will eventually strike the same spot again an... [ More ]

The biggest bummer might be the NY state income tax rate+ there's the NYC tax too but with a jackpot that high I think you'll be ok, ha.
