Blame it on quick picks. Most people just let the machine pick the numbers. Plus I noticed that a 5 was drawn on the sat drawing as well as last night. People don't expect a number to be drawn twice in a row.

Yeah so they should of sold a lot more tickets. Selling a lot more tickets usually means more people win the prizes. How did only 38 people win $100,000 last night when 72 won $100,000 last Saturday when they sold less tickets? That number combo was not to popular last night was it

I'm not sure what you mean, but I think it's about powerball.Ok, On Sat the 21st the jackpot was about 218 million, no one won, so they estimated the jackpot to be 280 million on last night's drawing. It turned out to be about 315 million. That's a 97 million dollar difference.

What is up with that? A little more than half from the last drawing and they sold a lot more tickets
