    Default Powerball Conspiracy Theories?

    So here we are, one of the biggest jackpots in history, and the numbers still aren't drawn after over eight hours? WTF? The official line is that one state has not reported sales yet. Sure seems like the fix is in. Plus, there is literally another drawing in less than two days now, so they can't really fiddle with this much longer.

    Gotta be some good stuff out there. Anyone heard anything?

    My assumption is that someone did the math and decided to buy an assload of tickets.

    The fact that they won't release the state having the issue is what concerns me. With this kind of money on the line, nothing should be private. They should be an open book right now, not a "We can't comment" book.

    6:40 am – Record $1.9 billion Powerball drawing delayed until Tuesday. One of the most hotly-anticipated lottery drawings of all time never happened Monday night, as lottery officials were scrambling to process the massive amount of ticket sales data generated by the record $1.9 billion jackpot.

    Yea, so big winner in California. Isn't it reasonable to ask if California was the state that caused the delay?

    Who is in on the class action lawsuit with me? I want to make a bunch of lawyers rich while I wait two years for my $1.50 check that comes on a postcard.

    Why are there two sets of numbers?

    Double Play® is a new add-on feature to the Powerball® game that gives players in select jurisdictions another chance to match their Powerball numbers in a separate drawing with a top cash prize of $10 million.

    Players can add the Double Play feature to their Powerball ticket for an additional $1 per play. The Double Play drawing will be held after every Powerball drawing on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
