$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increase
By Todd Northrop Powerball lottery players might be wondering this morning why the jackpot only increased by $25 million after nobody won last night's $875 million grand prize. The answer is that the last jackpot was estimated too high. During the live drawing it was announced that after all proceeds were counted, the final jackpot tally came to $829.4 million $45.6 million shy of the expected amount. Likewise, the cash value that was initially estimated to reach $452.2 million only in f

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in California
Not only that but 3 of the last $1 Billion+ jackpots for the powerball have been won within like 70 or so miles of each other this year in the L.A. metro. Also, why do some states with a large population, like Texas, win so many few powerball jackpots?

One ticket sold in California wins $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot
All of the jackpots are won in California. They are last to to close out their drawings. Maybe all the other states should just not play and let California players play the big jackpots by themselves and we not play.

$1.04 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases again
The reason jackpots rollover has everything to do with how many tickets are purchased, and something all lottery's call coverage . The more tickets that are sold, the higher the number of all the possible combinations are covered. In Powerball there are 292.2 million possible combinations of 6 numbers. If 146.1 different combinations are sold, then the coverage is 50%. That also means there are 146.1 million combinations that are not sold. In this case there is a 50/50 chance the drawing wi

Florida Lottery updates Fantasy 5, adds additional daily drawing
Same odds, just lower payouts. That's precisely what happened. Maybe it will cause an uptick in ticket sales. Maybe it wont. That remains to be seen. Cant really tell right now because there is a win $25 instantly promotion going on. The midday draw jackpots will be less than $100,000 while the evening drawing will see jackpots over $100,000.

The latest increase of the current lengthy Powerball jackpot run comes after nobody won last night's drawing, sending the Monday jackpot ever closer to heights that once seemed unattainable for a lottery game. Monday's Powerball jackpot is currently estimated at $975 million, with a lu
