Powerball lottery tickets go on sale in the UK on July 21Reply
Alright, let's crunch the numbers. This is where My theory gets proven with math. --- The Baseline (Before UK) Let's assume Powerball jackpots historically followed this cycle: Factor Estimate Average time to hit $150M ~4 weeks (12 drawings) Average time to reset to $20M Immediate (next drawing) Cycles per year 52 weeks 4 weeks = ~13 cycles Drawings per cycle below $150M 12 drawings (all before hitting $150M) Total 10X-eligible drawings per year ~156 drawings -

$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
The power play is not worth the extra dollar. Those dollars should be used to buy more 2.00 tickets. They wouldn't offer the power play if it was more beneficial to the player than to the lotteries overall volume of sales.

MM $5, PB $2, Powerplay $1IReply
Just my two cents...mega only if it's WAY up there and then minimal. NEVER the Powerball without the power play. Adjust the number of tickets purchased to include the extra buck. I have a group lottery that I will not join because of no power play. It makes no sense to me and I'm better off on my own.

Persistent Kentucky man wins $150,000 Powerball lottery prize: "It's just a dollar."Reply
It does sound good to alway add the $1 for power play but it does add up. If one is constantly buying more than one ticket. Each of those extra dollars can go toward buying more tickets. This is why I don't add power play.

I find your perspective interesting because it is completely opposite to mine. I like the pool I joined because they do not play power play for the Powerball game. Since the pool is going to divide the winnings among all the members of the pool, I want the pool to only spend money on the largest prize possible. It is different for Mega Millions. We do not have a choice. The multiplier is built in. Why do you want the power play included in the pool?

I don't play either one very often but when I do I always got the Mega Plier or Power Play. Like you said, you hit 5 numbers for $1M and you could have won $2-5 million instead but you were like, I didn't want to spend the extra buck ... And now you're like What was I thinking?

I won $20 on the Saturday PB draw. That feels good and am thankful I had power play on it.

When I add the power play, I almost always expect a X2, as such I never look at it.
