One ticket sold in California wins $1.08 billion Powerball jackpotReply
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.

I think they should rethink this twice a day. They would have been better off once a day and raised the ticket price to $2....it would make the jackpot much larger and that is what people are really playing for. It wouldn't be appealing to drop $2 a ticket but jackpots of $350,000 - $450,000 would get attention and make most over look the $2 ticket since a huge jackpot is possible. I'm not playing much anymore the jackpots aren't worth the chase and I can't keep up with 2 draws a day is another

I don't think this will turn out well. I really think interest will be lost and jackpots will be less than half what they are now. I am thinking more like $70,000 or less jackpots and that won't really make me want to play this.

FF5 is still a good game to play.... but players will no longer be able to win those whopping big jackpots. The odds aren't changing a bit. They're still 376,992 to 1. That's excellent odds in terms of lottery odds. But players can kiss those $200,000 FF5 jackpots goodbye. G5

Megamillions 4 out of last 9 drawings won alreadyReply
That's how random probability works. 8 jackpots have been won since 2/1/22 for a total of about $3.44 billion, and an average of about $430 million. 2 of the jackpots were over $1.3 billion and took much longer than usual to be hit, and 3 were hit much sooner than is typical, for $31 million or less. I'm not going to bother figuring out the actual total cash value, but at 52% it would be $1.789 billion, and based on the percentage of sales that goes towards the jackpot that required sales of

$1.1 BILLION: Massive Mega Millions drawing set for TuesdayReply
If you read the list of winning states, you would know CA, FL, NJ and NY are not the only states that always win the big MM and PB jackpots. There are a lot other states that win also. AZ, NH, and MD have won several times. CA has won the most jackpots because they have the most lottery vending machines in more locations than any other state in the country.

I was just looking back at some jackpot stats that I was keeping. Like a fool, I stopped tracking them at 3/31/2022 and now I wish I had tracked them for the entire year. The biggest jackpot won by one person in the first quarter of 2022 was $212,908 on 2/26/2022. Most jackpots (when there was not a rolldown) were split by multiple winners. The highest number of winners for one jackpot was six. There were quite a few rolldowns as well. All of that tells me that if you're lucky enough to win

One lottery ticket sold in California wins $2 billion Powerball jackpotReply
California is not an anonymous state so the winner will be public once claimed. And as for it being the same state that wins all the jackpots it is the same for Fantasy Five here. The jackpots are always won in the same zip codes.
