I have never seen each PB jackpot get so high.
Almost like they are trying to distract everyone.
To: Red Badger
I only play once it gets to 75% of the record, and only one draw. Otherwise it’s an idiot tax.

I’d like to see the winner buy The Arizona Republic newspaper in Phoenix and let Turning Point USA run it.

When I do play the lottery I limit myself to $1. If you put down $1000, it doesn’t increase your chances very much.

My theory is that itβs rigged. They rake in more tax money that way.

Usually when I bother to play the big-ass draw games (Megamillions, Powerball) I have no number matches. This time I had a whopping two! Still worthless. :^)

They added more numbers to the pool of available balls. I think in both the base numbers and the powerball/megaball so that your odds of winning have dropped considerably since the games began.
That’s why there are fewer winners and bigger jackpots. They realized there are lots of people who would only play when it gets way up there. So bigger jackpots bring more players and more players means more money for your government.
Plus, doubling the cost to play from $1 to $2 also makes them tons more moo-la.

How many millions does anyone need, anyway? It seems like some of these amounts could be life-destroying.

I had a scary moment during the last $1B+ Lotto.
It was reported the winning ticket was bought at the same store I bought mine.
Still working so clearly it wasn’t me.

Are all powerball tickets priced the same? Are there different ways to play (aside from picking your own numbers vs letting the computer pick)?
