Powerball jackpots get smaller

As more US states are selling both Mega Millions and Powerball Lottery tickets there are fears that we could have seen then end of the $300 million jackpots. Because there will be more players and more tickets sold for the Powerball Lottery each week there will be more combinations of lottery numbers bought making the probability of creating a jackpot winner greater more often, which in turn will make the Powerball jackpots get smaller.

By the end of January the US states and territories which will sell both Mega Millions and Powerball Lottery tickets will include; Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Wisconsin and West Virginia.
