I could use 1.3 billion about now ...
yikes, lol!!!
that’s ANOTHER 10 bucks my spouse wasted tonight!!
oould have gone to scratch offs and beer!!!
Well...
I guess it would be enough.
I’ll probably put $5 bucks into it tomorrow for Wednesday.
What the heck.
What a racket though! All these people playing for $900 million, and nobody wins.
What’s that tell us about the odds?
The six-pack would be a better investment...
There was no jackpot winner in the Saturday, January 9, 2016 Powerball drawing, but 28 lucky players matched the first 5 numbers for a $1,000,000 prize: 2 from Arizona, 6 from California, 2 from Connecticut (1 with Power Play), 1 from Florida, 1 from Georgia, 1 from Iowa, 1 from Maryland, 1 from Massachusetts, 3 from Michigan, 3 from New York, 2 from Ohio, 1 from Pennsylvania, 3 from Texas (2 with Power Play), and 1 from Virginia.
always is lol!!!
I did win 5k on a 10 bucks scratch off 5 years back.
but that puts me at about even. :)
Thank you for adding that in.
Earlier this evening I was thinking it would have been good to have a ticket that was just close. Even that payout would change your life.
Yeah.
It’s like that first day in Vegas. You win a grand or so and slowing lose until you feel like you got a lot of enjoyment out of only losing $300 overall on your trip before you left for home.
That'll get you two and a half tickets. Maybe that's why you have trouble winning. Dunno.
ROFL!!!
you know!!!
I’ve been there three time and go to atlantic city four times a year.
if I lose 200, i’m THRILLED!!
but you know what man, the people that say “that could be shoes or clothes or a GREAT DINNER”
shoes fall apart sooner or later and the meal is gone in 20 minutes.
five hours of completely forgetting my probems? is that worth a few hundred?
YES!
A lot of cash spent on losing tickets.
I don’t play often, but our two big Lotos out here, one for the state and one for the big one Powerball (I think) I’ve spent $5.00 for before.
LOL
I enjoy the sport of playing.
I’ve gotten to the point when I can tell if my luck is cold or hot. If I’m losing, I fold up and do something else.
Dealers are like you and I. They also get hot and cold streaks. A craps table can do that too.
I have followed dealers from table to table, when I’m winning against them. Sure enough, they’re just as cold at the next table. Love it.
I made about $1250 one evening. The dealer for 21 was exceptionally cold, and I went to the Craps table and they couldn’t take my money either. Great night.
That’s for sure.
That’s why it’s going from $900 million to $1.38 billion by Wednesday.
I can’t stay out when it’s that big. Good grief.
I won, I won, I WON!!!
Ok, it was only $7, but I am calling it a trend. I’ll add $1 to it and have 4 chances for the billion!! It’s only a matter of time.....I will be a great billionaire.
there goes my freepathon payout...
Great. Okay, you did win. Very good.
(Now feel better? I tried)
LOL
Good luck bud.
If Bernie Sanders becomes lord, your taxes would be 2.2 billion. Filthy rich an' all that.
