I hope that whoever won it in Ohio or Illinois enjoys it. They seem to always win.

FYI, if you're ever going to play that many tickets, you should play each Powerball number 1-26 about 9 times each and then let the white balls be a QP. That ensures you'll hit on at least 9 tickets and then who knows what else.


This strategy does not alter your odds in the slightest.

Ouch. Enjoy that 13.3% marginal state income tax rate.

I'm well aware it doesn't improve your overall odds, but it does improve your worst case scenario.

Yea I doubt they're complaining, but that's 73.5 MILLION less than an LA resident would have won.

Edit: Forgot CA didn't tax lotto winnings. Make that 59M MORE than an LA resident

Lottery winnings are exempt from state income tax in CA.

At least 7 for us. I did have a question. Can a powerball take a place as a white ball?
