Don't understand, I know your trying to make this like a real lottery as one would buy from the gas station. As I think so, but from what has been stated above I wouldn't enter as you saying no one has won before and its juts way to confusing

I'm not going to downplay this Powerball because he was upfront and transparent with how this power ball works. But just to let everyone know the chances of winning this lottery. There are 5 numbers that can be 1 through 16. this means there are 16 possible numbers per slot. You have 16 to the power of 5 chances of winning, that is 1 in 1,048,576 chance in winning per draw and a 1 in 64 chance per draw of just getting the cost of your ticket back. Just to put that in perspective, you have a greater chance of being struck by lightning this year than winning this Powerball. Good Luck all.

Yes, indeed. I made it with better odds than a normal power ball since we have a lower player base. I looked at the balances of the richest players and made some calculations to try to make it as fair as possible.

I may reduce the cost of the power ball ticket if no one wins before July and will credit people with more power ball entries.

Also, please all that have bought a power ball ticket submit your numbers. It saddens me that so many people that bought some aren't using their entries.
