Big changes in the Powerball Lottery.
The ticket price is doubling to $2 and the chance of winning is increasing. The powerball will be from 1 to 35 rather than 1 to 39. Which should result in more frequent but smaller payouts.
Personally, if I gave a rats ass about the odds I wouldn't be playing the lottery in the first place. I like the ridiculous $200,000,000+ jackpots. At $1 it's an impulse buy. At $2? Forget about it.
I guess I'll have to go to my fall back retirement plan of consistent 401(k) investing combined with no load mutual funds and real estate. Pooh.
