The Powerball website posted the numbers of winners in each prize level and there were 72 winners of $100,000. I added up the numbers of total winners which included my two small winnings and there were a total of 90,214,740. With odds of 1:36 of having a combination that wins something, probably over 120,000,000 combinations were sold.
For Saturday drawing, I played 42 combinations that included all 42 bonus balls and matched 3 for $7 and a bonus ball for $3, now some of my associates want in. They have proposed that I create several sets of 42 combinations in which no combinations of four is repeated and the player of each set share any winnings over $100 equally with the players of the other sets. Trouble is, not everyone want to cover the full cost of playing a set of numbers individually and if any one set won over $100 it would be impossible to share fairly, so I will probably just end up playing 42 combinations by myself again.
