Dave Van Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 ME TOO!!!! Now I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do Monday since I spent half of it already....
High octane Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 There's more to life than money, so I'll check my ticket tomorrow or Monday.
DaveM Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Lottery lot.ter.y noun 1. a special tax levied against people who are bad at math It's fun to dream about powerball, and how many kits I'd finance if I won, but in reality, I won $2.00 by not buying a ticket. I am terrible at games of chance. The last time I played Lotto, I got a phone call from the lottery commission the next morning telling me that my picks were so far off that I owed them another $2.00 But I hope somebody on here wins it and does finance a few of the tools discussed in the other thread.
Petetrucker07 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Haven't checked my numbers yet, but since I already know nobody won, there's no rush.maybe I got 2 bucks out of my 20 investment.
Snake45 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Lotterylot.ter.ynoun 1. a special tax levied against people who are bad at math When the odds are 1:250 million and the potential payout is three times that, that's what the pros call a value bet. Seriously, when it gets this high, you HAVE to play. How can you go though life knowing you didn't even TRY?
Tom Geiger Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Seriously, when it gets this high, you HAVE to play. How can you go though life knowing you didn't even TRY? Agreed. It's worth the $2 just to day dream about it! And when ever there is a winner, there's this stunned Average Joe standing there with a silly look on his face holding the big check. He had the same chance I did! So maybe one day it can be me!
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 One Ga. ticket matched 5 numbers, for a million dollar win. Now that the powerball is over a billion, I guess I'll have to buy at least one ticket.
madhorseman Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I won!! 12.00 dollars on the previous drawing, not last night. There are people that have won just from buying one line of numbers...2.00!! How can you not want to even give it a shot?
Pete J. Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I don't advocate anyone playing or not playing the lottery, but it is fun. I spend a few bucks and by my tickets for a month at a time. Same numbers always. I just know the time I fail to get my ticket is the time they will come up However, it's a past time. I have had people ask why I waste my money at 1:250000000 odds. I ask them what there odds of winning are if you don't buy a ticket. I like my odds better than theirs, slim as they are.

Dave Van Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 $2 for a chance at one billion.........just drink water in place of a Coke at lunch that day......come out even.
Snake45 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Well I hit for $4 so I get two more chances at Wednesday's drawing for "free."Is this a great country, or what?
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 ...Is this a great country, or what? Yeah boy. What used to be an illegal racket called the "numbers game" has been taken over and legitimized by big brother.
Harry P. Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 I got the Powerball number right. I just missed all the others.
Snake45 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Yeah boy. What used to be an illegal racket called the "numbers game" has been taken over and legitimized by big brother. Well, would you rather the gambling money went to crooks and criminals, or,,,, Oh, wait. Never mind.
Petetrucker07 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Just checked my numbers. I almost broke even. I put in 20, got back 16.
slusher Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Didn't even buy a ticket. I didn't buy one either. My brothers play so if they hit it, they will give me a cut....
Roadrunner Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I only missed five numbers!Right there with you, as I only missed six.
