$1.04 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againReply
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 drawingReply
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. That tells me that the majority of players will pass on the midday draw in favor of the evening. And remember too that Fantasy5 is a pari-mutuel g

What would you do if you won a lottery?Reply
This topic was discussed many times, but hasn't been discussed recently. Maybe because life changing jackpots are not as rare as they once were. For instance there are currently four jackpots are over $100 million and 13 jackpots over $10 million. By using the multiplier feature on MM and PB, players have the chance of winning $2 million or more five nights a week. Part of it might be because most players know how difficult it is to win a huge jackpot. But that doesn't mean they are not dr

Poll: Classic Mega MillionsReply
We are experiencing a shortage of large winners like we had with the old game. The purpose of a large money jackpot building game is to get more people to play and by default will not produce more winners. Many people on here complain about $2 tickets and complain about nobody winning anything and they also complain that they want smaller jackpots and more winners. Won't comment on what people complain about when it's simple enough to find the odds against winning anything. It's s

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
Your're lucky to have gone into a store where they even had the new playslips available. The Publix I went into yesterday didn't have any, but what they did have was a brochure that described the new change to FF5. Fortunately for players I may have gotten all worked up about the negative impact to FF5 jackpots over nothing. From reading the brochure, it's very possible that the new additional drawing will not hurt the jackpot amount for the evening drawing. What's important is that on the n

$975 MILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againNews Story
Easter sales dip might be holding it back By Todd Northrop The near-billion-dollar Powerball jackpot grew again last night, but perhaps not as much as it would have if this weren't Easter weekend. 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

When is the right time to hang your lottery boots?Reply
Thanks man! I appreciate the reply. I used to do quick pics with my regular number when jackpots where high .But it seemed when I checked previous draws some numbers would be in there. So I stopped buying them. But I can honestly say. My biggest win was from a quick pic on pb. It was a hundred bucks. If I spent the extra buck it would have been three hundred. And I usally always pay the extra buck but it was one of thouse billion dollar jackpots. So I just did the two dollar option instead of th
