Oh so sad the lottery commission is loosing money What about the kids that are going hungry cause the parents are spending all their money on tickets hoping to hit it big , big chance of that .The lottery is a joke it's just making the lottery commission richer.

The powerball going to 2 dollars has nothing to do with old Ernie P spending most of his time in South Carolina while he was running this darn thing and the hiring of his old buddies from SC.

RieC5, that's a crock....And the lottery commission is not responsible for those scratched tickets, the crackhead management and the employees of tha convenience store is resposible...And their revenue is probably dropping b/c they charge $2 for a powerball ticket now. I use to get a few PB tickets every Wed & Sat until they doubled the price, now I only buy one when the jackpot is really huge.

It seem as if they put most of the non winning ticket in the minority areas. They know once a person try their hand and win a few dollars more than what they played in most cases this will become habit forming or shall I say an addiction.
