Just bought my first Power Ball ticket ever

GOOD LUCK

i take it its some kind of huge roll over.

It's at 500 million right now.

Id like to win. Then buy GLP and make it better.

Not me, well I'd like to win, but if I won I'd pay off my parents house for them, buy a nice house for us, new vehicle for me and for hubby, college for my 3 kids would be taken care off, a nice shopping spree, and then be smart with the rest.

A never ending shopping spree.

It makes me laugh how more people buy tickets when the jackpot is bigger.

People are so dumb.

somebody is gonna win it all.

clearly not you.

No, because I understand probability.

NO, cause your state dont have powerball.

and your probability of winning is 0

The same as everyone elses then :)

Wow maybe today is my lucky day! Besides the one power ball ticket i bought one scratch ticket.....i just won$ 50 on that! Twice in one day ive won something........and i seriously never had before this! Haha

Youre luck probably ended when your name got picked at your work raffle, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Sweetie I would never wish such a curse upon you. Your a good one and hope you will stay so.

Sorry you voided your self I know this from experience. Once I bought a scratcher and a mega millions at the same time. Won 300 on the scratcher and then matched all mega millions numbers except for the mega number. I didnt even get that much for matching all numbers on mega millions.

Play these numbers!

Thread: Winning Powerball numbers: (3)(17)(18)(33)(38) PB (5)...

BS matching all numbers except the mega number pays 250,000

Good Luck!

I know, WTF.. 20 million aint good enough? I play every week

I just dont friggen understand people

So what if , even if its 1 million. Are people not playing cause its like, nah, not enough

So when its big, THEN people play?

What about if its 30 million, they dont bother????

i'll pay my poor mans tax

Didn't buy one. I'd just spend it on hookers and cheap booze.

Im not trying to be mean, Im just trying to understand people. Theyve had lotteries for decades, Is a smaller amount of 1 million, 10 million, 30 million, 100 million too small to bother with?

I dont get it..

Greed is good.

It almost makes me puke, so many here would be happy with just 10,000 to pay off some bills and put presents under the tree..

I have to not get jealous, its in whoevers destiny to win. Its in their natal chart since they were born.

I never understood this world. Its crazy.

its about the dream, 20-30mil is not enough to live out the dream only enough to try and get away, and most people can't get away. it's like poker odds, more money means higher value for risk, people buy tons of tickets on these ones cuz they are worth more statistically.

but yeah i mean there are lots of people with a few million bucks but this is about the dream. world is turning to hell, money isn't what it seems anyway, thats why people buy, because they dont believe in money they believe in the forces they pray too.

Having 20 million is not enough so people dont bother parting with one or two dollars?

how does that equate?

The answer is people are RULED BY THE MEDIA , period !

If the media is quiet, they are quiet, If the media says jump, they jump..

If the media says go by a purple car, they will,

Good luck! We're new best friends, eh?
