[lewfather]

cant win if you don't play!

[MumblesBadly]

Can't believe nobody won this shit. $1.3 billion is the current estimate for Wednesday but $1.5 billion or higher wouldn't surprise me the way the tickets are selling.

Wow. (Even the taxes/lump sum shouldn't make a difference now...not like they did at $900mm either, but c'mon!)...and agree with BnP...this is going higher than $1.3B (Fever Alert)....

FiveThirtyEight nails it again! From this past July:

New Powerball Odds Could Give America Its First Billion-Dollar Jackpot
By WALT HICKEY
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...ollar-jackpot/

But I bet even the author of the article is surprised it only took 6 months.

Based on a basic model I built that simulates Powerball jackpots over the next five years of play, the odds change makes a huge, huge difference. Under the old (1 in 175,223,510) odds, there was a billion-dollar lottery in only 8.5 percent of the simulated five-year periods. But under the new (1 in 292,201,338) odds, there was a billion-dollar lottery in 63.4 percent of the simulated five-year periods.

Would take the 1.3 billion over the 20 years so I don't busto it all within 5 years. That's presuming the payments wouldn't stop if I died.


1.3 billion also sounds like a challenge for the greatest con artists on earth to somehow get that draw rigged.

You don't rig the draw, you strong-arm the winner whitey bulger-style.

Had to google wtf you were on about, but it led me to a film called Black Mass, which is auto stored on my tivo box. Rated highly on imdb. Shall give it a whirl later.

$1.4 billion now.....but the lottery's RNG might also be rigged but we'll all keep buying tickets b/c #whynot

Jackpot-fixing scandal isn't stopping Powerball's success; watchdog calls astronomical $1.4 billion prize a 'scam'

Most players, instead of choosing their own numbers, buy "Quick Pick" tickets that feature randomly generated numbers.

Those tickets are often duplicated, meaning lottery players are receiving the same losing numbers as players in other states, Nettles said.

"This is a scam," Nettles said. "With the odds being what they are, it's a scam."

Win the lottery for even $500k in a black neighborhood and you better fear for your life.
