Is Powerball Fair?

Okay let's look at the winners by state since 1998.  Notice in the chart below some states have had a lot more winners than others since 1998.  Those states with a disproportionate amount of winners (10 or more) include Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri and Pennsylvania.   Meanwhile several states have had 1 or no winners since 1998 which include Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, North Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Vermont and Washington.  (California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Alabama and Mississippi do not have Powerball at this time)  Thus the question is why do Indiana and Pennsylvania have considerably more winners than other states?
