$200m powerball, page-11

the frenzy of buying this week will see the punters buying tickets across all platforms... Jumbo however is the big winner as their profitability is scaled strongly to large jackpots... last year was a weak jackpot year, hence the share price sliding 5%.... this year should see broker upgrades, possibly special dividend, and generally record profits and record cash flows... not to mention all the inactive accounts being reactivated - we're probably already through 5 million accounts across our business... good chance we'll punch through $20 later this year as the market re-assesses the quality of this business... when the new powerball game was introduced, the statistician had worked out all the odds and probabilities and reported at the time of the likelihood of it going to $300m and beyond... anyway even if it get's triggered this week, it's still a bonanza... just hope the icing on the cake eventuates and an Ozlotteries customer/lotto party/syndicate etc. takes the loot...
