Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
I wasn't a conspiracy theorist until now....... First, having 2 grand prize winners for a non-billion dollar jackpot, not surprising. Those grand prizes not being in at least one of these states (CA, TX, FL or NY) is odd. The real eyebrow raiser was out of 89 second prize winners, there was no representation from TX, FL or NY. Second, in the following drawing on 5/2, miraculously FL and TX have grand prize winners. What really raises suspicion is that 4 out of 5 numbers were outside of w

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Mentioning a conspiracy while claiming no conspiracy is just pure irony. If you'd spent enough time on the website you'd have seen dozens of them every time jackpot gets big. Just recently with someone claiming all the jackpots coming from one county in Michigan. I agree with you on one thing. There has never been so many second tier winners on a small jackpot. And if you'd read the article you'd understand the reason behind it. It's the way the playslips are for a lot of the states.

Balancing Odds and Cost 😁Reply
If I ever win something that big, most of it would be used for or left to grassroots causes. Spread out over things like a food pantry, a cat rescue, after school activities for underprivileged kids, senior care, dog shelter, and so on. All of those community needs that don't get funding because it doesn't make money for the already wealthy. Friends or family would get something, just not like 100 mil. No one needs that kind of money, including myself. What I see in big jackpots isn't a big

Help Me Understand This 😭Reply
Thank you for the encouragement on me not winning the jackpot I will spend my money at Chic -fil-A instead, , lol just kidding. I actually am not focused on the jackpots, any win is a good win, and a jackpot win is an even better win. Thank you for the perspective on the odds.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
We can safely conclude Powerball is going to win the overall race even though it may lose the occasional battle. With the game expanding to United Kingdom, the jackpots will grow much faster and most likely break new records. This is a significant change to the game.

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
My assumption.. Likely operate similarly to California .. Prizes less than the jackpot. Because they are UK, won't be taxed at payout (tax collected at point of sale). No federal tax because effectively UK lottery . Jackpots.. Because they are pooled... and payed out only as an annuity.... not sure...

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Tell that to the Millions that lost $5 as opposed to the 6 jackpots that have been won since the 150% price increase beginning on 4-08-2025. https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Games/Mega_Millions/Estimated_Jackpot.html As Rcbbuckeye has in his signature, JUST LOOK AT THE ODDS OF ANY JACKPOT GAME, THAT WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW If the new price tag is such a great deal why is it taking 40 draws to reach $980 Million ? If the new price tag is such a

The $29.95 Non-BelieverzReply
Stats and the Mountain of Tickets Stats sat alone in a weathered old chair, With losing lotto slips piled high everywhere. No job to attend and no paycheck in sight, Yet he checked every drawing from morning till night. He had stacks in the kitchen, stacks under the bed, Stacks on the table where he rested his head. Each ticket a promise, each number a dream, Though the jackpots kept flowing downstream. Impossible odds? Stats would loudly proclaim. No, somebody'

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
Man, I could write a book on this one. So I'll keep it brief... How do you expect the prize pool to grow faster when you're adding 20% more players ??? (Not really- see next item.) UK players will reject this based on the ticket cost and taxable (US portion) jackpots. This is just a test market to see if Powerball can sell a $5+ ticket ( 4= $5.44 US). Why in your own back yard when you can do it in someone else's? MegaMillions is paying the price of greed and Powerball is next.

New Hampshire Lottery launches $30 scratch-off ticket offering record $3 million top prizeReply
Well put ..... For thirty dollars I can buy 10 to 15 powerball tickets for a cash value of 9 mil or six tickets of megamillions for a cash value of around 22 mil. Of course, it's a lot harder to win than the scratcher but that's another thing. Have a shaggy day! ShagE3 PS On another topic, tho lottery related .... What's with Ark and Del twice winning multistate mega lottery jackpots as of recent memory?
