When was the last time that Mega Millions was over $250 million?

The Tuesday August 25th 2009 Mega Millions jackpot is estimated at $252 million.

That got us wondering: When was the last time the jackpot was this high?

The answer is: Just about 1 and 1/2 years when a $270M winning ticket was sold in Georgia on Feb 22, 2008. (And between these dates, the jackpot exceed $200M only 4 times).

Good luck to all in tomorrow's drawing!

LPP Rewards 2 Canadian Lotto 649 Players with Winning Combinations

Two of our Canadian Lotto 649 players received combinations that matched 4 of the 6 white balls in the Saturday August 8 2009 drawing. In that drawing, Lottery Power Picks recommended only 141 combinations. Of those, there were two C$5 winners (2 white + bonus), two C$10 winners (3 white), and two 4 of 6 winners collecting C$71.20 each.

Powerball Draws Crazy Combo Last Wednesday

Last Wednesday, Powerball drew what looked to be a typical set of numbers. But, after studying the numbers more closely, we discovered a rare relationship between each of these five white balls. The randomly selected results for August 5 2009 were:

25 34 41 46 49 and Bonus Ball 29

These look innocent enough. However, if you calculate the deltas between numbers, you will obtain the pattern:

09 07 05 03

which is an ordered sequence of decreasing odd numbers! Hmm.
