See above.

 
No need to respond to PMs saying you sent. I don't have enough inbox space. I'll be out for a few hours. I'll buy the first set of tickets tonight and the remaining tomorrow. I'm not tracking people down for payment. If you don't pay by the time I leave work tomorrow you're out.

Prize Pools Are Going Up Because Powerball Just Became Much Harder To Win

In October, the consortium of states that runs Powerball approved a series of rule changed thatmade it much harder to win the jackpot. Under the new rules you select five of 69 numbers, up from five out of 59 numbers. The choices for the Powerball was actually reduced from 35 to 26. Still, this decreased the odds of winning the jackpot from 1 in 175 million to 1 in 292 million.

The purpose of this change was to increase the chances that there would be no grand prize winner for any given drawing. When this happens, the prize pool rolls over creating giant jackpots. At the time the rule changes were first floated in July, FiveThirtyEight estimated that the chances of a $1 billion prize pool increased from 8.5% to 63.4% over a given five year period.

At the same time, the decreased number of choices for the individual Powerball made winning small $4 prizes more likely. “The rules change is intended to increase the odds of winning any prize, while making it more difficult to win the jackpot prize,” the New York State Gaming Commission wrote in a memo supporting the change.

The purpose of creating massive jackpots is because they induce more people to play. The prospect of big payouts spark a flood of free media attention, encouraging people to speculate on how a windfall would impact their life.

I haven't played the lotto in years. For the draw on Saturday, I bought 5-$20 tickets. Each had 10 sets of numbers. Two of those tickets cashed for $8 and one cashed for $4. I was very surprised.

 
Please update first post with all paid players so I can get a timestamped photo of it.

One of you only put FFA in the memo so I don't know who you are. That's the paid list above. If you aren't on it you need to pay by tomorrow afternoon or you're out.
