$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
That state has an unfair advantage because they have never sold a losing ticket. It's going to damage these games because players in the other 45 states are going to stop buying tickets altogether. No one in California deserves to win because it's way too easy. They have a state game but no one plays it because there are hundreds of thousands of jackpot winners every draw. You need way harder lotteries when you have a state that has a higher population than the countries of China and India combi

Lol I was being a smartass. I don't even live in California. Also I didn't buy tickets and I'm not superstitious at all.

$1.04 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againReply
It is rigged but not in the way you think. The odds of winning either jackpot in round numbers are 300,000,000 to 1. That is roughly one ticket per every American. Think of it that way. The lotteries like it that way because as the jackpots grow, that is more money for the states coffers, which is why states allow them in the first place. Lastly, the larger the jackpot the greater reward for the state in which the winner is. California has a 12.3% income tax rate over $1,000,000 so if th

I feel for the 10 in California who had 4+1 - not only did they just miss out on a life changing score, but because of the state's pari-mutuel laws they got less than half of anybody else who had 4+1.

$835 MILLION: Powerball jackpot set to deliver ultra-wealthReply
You could have explained to him that California and Florida sell hundreds of thousands more tickets than Montana and Vermont. Maybe that would sink in.

$70 million Michigan Powerball winner says lottery winners should be able to remain anonymousReply
i live in California, where there have been a lot of big winners and all names are released to the public. Only those that choose to remain in the spotlight do so willingly. The others take their money and in a few months most can't even recall their names. The same with other states and with this lady from Michigan. Maybe her spotlight is dimming and she wants it back by going public again.

$1 million Mega Millions prize won in Iowa will expire in two weeksReply
Actually, the statement that Virginia has Just the Jackpot for Mega Millions is false. Virginia has 2nd to 8th place fixed prizes. All participating states have 2nd to 8th place prizes but in a couple of states it's not a fixed number it's whatever the winning total is, it's divided among the winners. For example, let's say in California the 2nd place prize is 2 million dollars if 10 people win in that state. they each get 200k

Because they are not aware of the secondary prizes. They buy a ticket or two and hear that it got hit in California and that is the end of it for them. No need to check the ticket if I didn't win is the perception of inexperienced players.
