Probably hit the jackpot

 

[hellaflush]

No you didn't

You think I'm lying?

 

[hellaflush]

Kinda sad. Only 11 winners out of the whole roll. Looks like I'm not doing that again. Haha

I'll assume nothing notable out of those 11 winners?

$200 winner on one of them. Everything else was mostly ticket prizes. So I'm down $270

Who ******* with this Powerball tho?

 

[sooperhooper]

I'm done with powerball all together.

I purchase powerball and and mega millions all the time

Rarely hit numbers anymore

Only time I did was years ago, not sure if I posted in here

Got 4 numbers on one ticket, was 1 away from 250k but now they changed it, 5 numbers gets you a 1 million

All I got from those 4 numbers was $150. Gave it to my mom

8-10 weeks?! Sheesh. Didn't know it took that long.

They say they pay for scholarships and such, but on a dollar for dollar basic, they are up MILLIONS per game. How is the lottery not a registered scam? or bait n switch?

They'll take millions of dollars before wanting to eventually get to paying OP some 8-10 wks later on $75k which wont even amount to more than $46k TAKEHOME.

Im glad OP won and others shared. But 80% of the time, you are losing, 20% of the time may be barely getting your money back. Its a tricky game and mathematicians have it set out for us to lose.

I always buy powerball and mega or super lotto. Whichever has the highest jackpot at that moment.
spend like 20 bucks a week combined.

Lotto doesn't give to school. It's Hella fraudulent by saying it does.

I don't really think it takes 8 to 10 weeks.

I won a G and they said 8 to 10 weeks but i had my money within a month.

Plenty do. I only play when the jackpot is up there, like now. Even at that, I'll only pick up like $6-10 worth. It seems people forget the odds of winning are next to impossible. They be throwing out serious cash thinking they have a chance. Which in turn makes losing feeling worse because now you're out $50-100 every time you play.

 

[Bert.]

Yes the odds are horrible but someone always wins? Why can't it be me?

Not sure if srs

I know plenty of people and a lot of older dudes who easily spend HUNDREDS a week on mega, powerball, and especially that 3 and 4 digit ****

Dudes save all their tickets for tax purposes too

I buy a $20.00 scratch off every 2 weeks (pay day) so I spend 40 a month. Last month I hit 200.00. The months before pretty much broke even or lost $20.00 or sometimes the whole $40.00. 3 years ago I had an ALP like streak, I was hitting $100.00 tickets every time. But now I'm more on a losing streak (lost today). It's important to note if I break even and win my money back I buy another ticket with that money, but if I win the 200.00 I put ALL 200.00 in my account and don't spend any on another ticket until the next 2 weeks. The most I've won was $500.00 with a scratch off called "Gold Rush" here in Florida. I've heard on the news at least 3 times that people got the million dollar jacket with the Gold Rush scratch off purchased at places within a few miles of where I live

.

You guys ever cop any out of the vending machines? I did once, got $50 from a 1.00 ticket, but never did it again. I can't imagine a million dollar or high priced ticket sitting in there.
