Where have the most Powerball and Mega Millions jackpot tickets been sold?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:38:54 GMT

A pair of record-setting lottery prizes are growing, one Powerball and the other Mega Millions. While your odds of winning either are slim (1 in 24.87 and 1 in 24, respectively), it seems where you live could have an impact on your luck. Since both lottery draw games began in the 1990s, jackpots have been hit hundreds of times — sometimes more than a dozen times in certain states. All but five states participate in Powerball and Mega Millions. Of those participating states, three have never sold a jackpot-winning ticket for either game: Mississippi, North Dakota, and Wyoming. Maine was also on that list until January of this year when a $1.348 billion Mega Millions jackpot was hit. It currently stands as the second-largest Mega Millions jackpot in history, and the fourth-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history. Maine is the only other state that hasn’t sold a winning Powerball ticket. There are also four states that have only had one Powerball jackpot since 2003 (whic...

According to him, we have done all the studies necessary before launching this 19th-century debacle. Perhaps he should take a close look at the results of past local government issues from his years as mayor and compare them to BART and VTA.Two memorable missteps come to mind: 1) Garbage Gate (secret negotiations that continue to cost every household dearly today); 2)The City Hall Rotunda debacle — a totally useless meeting facility that stands as a tribute to poor architectural design, lost space that we continue to pay for.Compare these to BART and VTA whose management structures have caused one to be on the fast track to bankruptcy and the other to be h...

Remembering Nancy Pyle as a tenacious politician with style

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:38:54 GMT

When you envision former San Jose City Councilmember Nancy Pyle, who died last Friday at age 85, you may immediately think of the stylish outfits that earned her a reputation as the best-dressed member of the council during her tenure from 2005 to 2013. But to only remember her that way would be a disservice to the tenacity she showed over decades of service.She may have dressed to the nines, but Pyle fought like Rocky Balboa.It’s easy to forget that the former elementary school teacher, who had a 25-year career mostly in the San Jose Unified School District, twice ran unsuccessfully for the Almaden Valley seat, losing to Pat Dando in 1995 and 2000. She finally broke through on her third attempt in 2004 when the popular Dando was termed out. But even then she had to overcome a 12-point advantage in the primary by her opponent, Rich De La Rosa, who was endorsed by Dando.While her time in office was one of the city’s most economically challenging, Pyle continued to fight &...
