Powerball stinks....Mega Millions is much better, MM consistently has bigger jackpots than PB....Who cares about that lousy PB.

There are definitely a few people who hate the traffic, including inconvenienced store owners, but MUSL and CT Lottery love it.-Todd

A store owner in Greenwich even put up a sign urging NY Gov Pataki to have NY join Powerball.

PB record. And don't be fooled by all that talk about getting rid of an invasion . They absolutely love that stuff -- there's no better PR than putting all of it on the news. One big jackpot a year is how Powerball makes most of their money. -Todd

Todd: PB record (~295m) or US record (~366m)? I still think MUSL wanted to acknowledge the invasions of Greenwich, CT, during huge Powerball jackpots.

The unusual circumstance: the increase in jackpot size is capped at $25 million when the new jackpot will set a record. IMHO, it's a layer of complication that will add to player confusion without adding any perceived value.-Todd

I just got an e-mail from a reliable source telling me that the $25 million cap on Powerball rollovers effective October 5 will happen only in unusual circumstances, unlike the changes posted on this site a week ago.
