$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseNews Story
By Todd Northrop Powerball lottery players might be wondering this morning why the jackpot only increased by $25 million after nobody won last night's $875 million grand prize.

Michigan woman didn't realize she had Powerball lottery ticket worth $1 million for six weeksReply
The store where I usually buy lottery tickets has a monitor that shows exactly how much each ticket is worth. And clerks always ask if I want the tickets back. The store also has a scanner and two kiosk machines to check tickets. With all the ways to easily check tickets, especially when they know the ticket is a winner and the fact a Michigan ticket won't expire for a year, no harm, no foul .

Kentucky Lottery launches daily in-state jackpot game, records first winnerReply
I was hoping they would have a five digit pick 5 game because they already have lots of jackpot games. They have a 4/35 + 1/25 Cash Ball 225 with a fixed $225,000 jackpot for $1 dollar at ticket so it seems strange to start another jackpot game will a much smaller pari-mutual jackpot. Michigan always had very playable games.
