Maddog's POWERBALL Challenge 3/11Reply
Thanks everyone! Congrats to other winners and almosters. Amazing that the jackpot wasn't won but I guess that #66 saved it. Also surprising that only one ticket won the million. The Power play option was very good to me!

$1.2 BILLION: Powerball jackpot is 3rd-largest in game historyReply
Yes, I laughed quite a bit when Idaho first implemented the change. They stated that it was because they were looking out for the best interests of the player because the player ends up regretting not getting the Power Play option when they win a lower tier prize.

I believe you're referring to Idaho. They automatically force the Power Play option onto the player and up the cost of the ticket by $1. There is no option to opt out.

Michigan man wins $4 million after being unable to buy lottery ticket he originally wantedReply
I know this feeling all too well. One time I won $16 instead of just $4 on Powerball because the clerk encouraged me to throw down the extra $1 for the Power Play.

$1 million Mega Millions prize won in Iowa will expire in two weeksReply
Not enough to stir their interest. They played because it was a billion dollars or more. That is what they wanted. They didn't even know what power play is so that didn't get played. A million is about 1/1000th of a billion. Didn't know about those prizes and didn't care. I want that billion only.

$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseReply
The Texas Powerball estimate showing 1 billion for Wednesday if no one wins. I got my 1 auto pick willy Wonka ticket with the power Play option. I have a feeling we're about to see a 2 billion jackpot soon. It starting to seem normal for these kind of levels. Very fishy

if you could only play one --MM or PB --which would you chooseReply
Definitely megamillions. The second prizes alone are worthy of consideration (powerball limits second prizes to 1 million or 2 million with power play while Megamillions has can go up to 5 million with megapliers.) Also in most draws there's a winner for second prize with megamillions more so than powerballs, it seems.

Record $1.9 billion Powerball drawing delayed until TuesdayReply
In participating states (everyone but California, I think), you can pay an extra $2 to be entered in a second drawing with better odds and a top prize of $10mil. This is separate from the power play add on.
