I'm usually not one to believe in conspiracy theories, but it seems odd that California keeps "winning" Powerball record jackpots. Last year, when they had that "security issue", that delayed the picks, and then someone in California won the $2 billion jackpot, which is where Powerball's headquarters are located, and then again, someone in California won, and now a third (I believe straight) time someone in California won? And it was a single winner? What are the odds? 45 states plus DC, and somehow one state wins three straight times? Come on, folks. Something smells fishy, and for once, it isn't from Capitol Hill....
CA has a population of almost 40 million people. Were always going to have better odds just by the numbers.
