  Powerball numbers are drawn in Tallahassee Florida. They are ball drawn, not RNG.

  After I posted my reply last night I realized I misunderstood your question. Just too tired last night to reply again.

  Not sure there is much difference in different states QP terminals. Plus, with MM and PB, there are just so many combinations that it probably doesn't really matter which terminal you get a QP from.

  Then, to throw a wrench into what I just said, there ARE states that have more winners than others. And most tickets sold ARE QP's.

  New York is a state that has more winners, and RCB is correct, there are more QP's sold in NY than player picked numbers. A long time ago, I believe that I read 75% of all NY tickets sold were QP's, so to my way of thinking that's the reason why QP's win more often than player picks in NY.  I would think that the same thing is true in all of the other states.

  My theory on why some states have more winners is simply a function of a states population.  California is ranked first in population followed by Texas (#2), Florida (#3) and New York (#4).  Those are the states that sell the most tickets, and from what I've seen, they have more jackpot winners than other states.
