$935 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
I feel this pot going to climb into the top 3 Maybe, but it needs to almost double, to about 1.815 billion to be in the real top 3, based on the current cash:annuity ratio.

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
Well it's been a heck of a long time since I posted here so I thought I'd put out a few things that might be of interest to players. ROLLDOWNS!! There have been quite a few of them since they went to two FF5 drawings per day..especially with the midday drawings.

Number 27 is still the hotte

$1.4 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
It looks like the cash amount for tmrw is being reduced to 614 from 643. They are just being cautious. They're not being cautious. They're failing at accurately predicting sales. Higher interest rate means less cash needed to earn same amount. Higher interest rates mean the same amount of cash can buy a bigger annuity.

You are required to have your picture taken and they are allowed to promote it. You are not required to be overly exuberant about it or have to explain or concoct some story about how or why you won to help future sales for them and make yourself well known and a potential target for bilkers.

I guess it is OK to believe that story that it was her first time playing along with the one yesterday and the one a few weeks ago. I guess it wouldn't be to help increase sales by non players.
