Your answer is POPULATION. The reason is because there are more people in those states that buy more tickets.

The greater the amount of tickets sold is proportionate to the amount of winning tickets....usually.

That doesn't mean that someone who buys a ticket in a less populated state can't win. They have the same chance of winning as someone who buys a ticket in a more populated state.

States with the most powerball winners;

http://money.com/money/4912174/states-most-powerball-winners/

Most PB wins - Indiana

States with the most Mega Miillions winners;

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

What do you think the Real Reason is? I'm guessing you started this thread because you had something specific in mind.

Only my hairdresser knows for sure.

Have you ever heard of the acronym, ROY G BIV? The letters stand for the order of the colors in the rainbow. Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet.

For this rainbow photo just start from the right side of it and move into it.

noise-gate, Is this another vacation spot for you and the Mrs.?

Yes music, l have heard something of the kind, but my posting the picture was the answer to the thread - which is " why does" ..my answer is being close to a large body of H2o.

As for my vacation spot, ah no. See the American flag on the bottom left? That's on home soil. My vacation with my vivacious wife, will be far from home. I do not want to bump into anyone l see on American soil, whether they be on tv or on the streets l walk. I'm picky that way.

Simple, it’s just way too easy to win in those states. In fact, those states have NEVER sold a losing ticket, not once, ever.

Even if what you were saying were true, you do realize that all of the States you mentioned, would be splitting the jackpot on a regular basis.So, if California had a winning MM or PB ticket, so would NJ, FL, NY, etc etc.

Your thinking on this topic reminds me of a line in " How to train your dragon. #1- "Isn't it weird to think that your hand was inside a dragon? Like if your mind was still in control of it, you could have killed the dragon from the inside, by.. crushing its heart, or something."

They don't. People just think they do.

Before you play there are 2 choices to make. Low sum or high sum and consecutive pair or no consecutive pair. Choose correctly and you go from 120 combos down to 30. Not a bad starting point.

When I first started playing I thought the Mega Millions was just a New York Game, because they used to call it New York’s Mega Millions. Lol

Most I ever won on Mega was $157. Got 3 + mb and 3 on the same ticket. No megaplier played which would’ve multiplied that by 3.

Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.

Life's a game of mathematics, if you can't figure that out I don't know what to tell you.
