MM $5, PB $2, Powerplay $1IReply
If a lottery pool buys Powerplay, it means the last 1/3 of the pool's money has a zero chance to win the jackpot.

would you play a multi country lottery?
there was some chatter about powerball expanding to other countries with one shared prize pool. for me that would be a permanent turn off regardless of which countries. what do you think?

Sure. It's definitely possible that The Florida Lottery changed the percentage of net sales allocated to the winners prize pool.
