According to JADELottery, the odds of the DC 5 drawing producing a singles combination without any repeat digits for 41 consecutive drawings is 1 in 242,413. It's not impossible, but improbable. By the time the game reaches its 50th consecutive drawing without a repeat digit, those odds become 1 in 3.685 million. that math is not correct. the probability of singles occurring in any one pick 5 drawing is 0.3024. the probability of it happening n times in a row is 0.3024^n. that means the pro

$1.7 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
I believe Wild Bill is just imagining that he is in a pool of 80 and his work doesn't mind all the time it takes up with a possible end result of everyone quitting the job destroying the company if they win. They should have won many, many more smaller prizes than he claims they do with that amount of tickets weekly. We had a pool at work once and it was just drawing one name out of a hat. That took over an hour to organize and collect the money weekly. Never mind trying to extract 10.00 from 80

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
It rolled, and there's a very good chance it will be past the billion mark when the drawing happens. NY has been showing the final amount on the results page, and Monday's jackpot is reported as $776.7 million. That's a jump of $60.9 million over the previous drawing and Mondays have the worst increases, typically being less than the previous Wednesday to Saturday increase. For Wednesday's drawing the original $815 million seemed very conservative, and at a reported $861.2 million we got an incr

Powerball lottery tickets go on sale in the UK on July 21Reply
Stuck with 10X? I can't see any reason why PB players who buy the PowerPlay option are stuck with it. Since Oct of 2015 the 10X multiplier has appeared just handful of times. (Although it did show twice this year) That's because if the jackpot is less than $150,000,000 10X is in play, but the minute the jackpot exceeds $150,000,000 it's removed from play. But more than that, the 10X multiplier is just 1 of the 43 balls used as a multiplier. Here's the breakdown of the PowerPlay mul
