  Ok. I got bored, so I created this poll.  Enjoy.

  I've redone my website.  Go to www.dr-ew.com.  I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff.  Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks.

  ok.  do not base your vote on which state you live in, or can buy tickets from the easiest.

  I picked the West region because that is where I play.  But you could make a case for every region because in every region their is one state that has far more winners than the rest of the regions states. The Northeast is number 1 followed by the South at number 2 then the Midwest is 3 and the west region at 4.  The USVI is dead last in winners at 5.  I hope for the west but reality says one of the top three will get it.

  Check out this chart:

  http://www.naspl.org/sales&profits.html

  You can see that Californian's play $78 per year per person in the lottery.

  People in Massachusetts play $652 per year.

  Since people in Massachusetts don't make 9 times as much money as people in California, you can see they like to spend  a lot more on the lottery. This means that Massachusetts probably  does a lot more advertising, among other things. But clearly, given all considered, if you want to know which  state is more likely to win the  next jackpot, it's definitely Massachusetts over California, to just pick two.

  So take the chart above, sort it by the last column descending, and  you have your frequency of hits by state. You can bet money on that.

    Indiana has had more Powerball jackpot winners than any other state.  Iowa, the state I live in, has had only two PB jackpot winners since November 1997, and the last time a PB ticket purchased in Iowa won the jackpot was January 8, 2000.
