A TIP FOR TONIGHT'S POWER BALL WINNER (vanity)

A devious mind ^ | 1/9/16 | Baynative

Because I sincerely hope that someone frequenting the FRee Republic website wins the power ball drawing tonight, especially a monthly donor and because that winner will be an (almost) instant billionaire, I am offering some sound advice on how to handle the situation.

Next Jackpot : $1.3 Billion

Cash Option Value: $806 Million

Hard to get your mind around having either.

You are right. The odds of them sticking to an agreement are as long as my winning the cash. Maybe even longer.

I’d sign the ticket, put the ticket in a ziplock, tape it to the inside of my leg, call a cab, and go file the claim immediately.

Looks like a very nice rig. A more realistic item than my dream Terex.

Thanks! I just started playing & actually have to travel to another state (only a 1/2 hour from where I work) to buy tickets. I am now getting the hang of it. The only thing I got from 3 tickets is one red ball # correct. I think that is worth something. On the plus side, 50 yards up the road from the gas station where i buy the tickets is a great BBQ place where I meet a friend for dinner before I drive home ;). Good luck to you if you play & I really appreciate your info. Have a wonderful Sunday.

I think I’ve been to that dealership. I used to help with a race team and got to know the guys at MCC Ducati in Chicago pretty well. Would love to own one some day.

You forgot to immediately fully fund Free Republic so you never have to worry about the next Freep-a-thon.

If there is no winner tonite, I will buy a ticket for next week.

I bought 10 tickets and did not match ONE SINGLE NUMBER!

have to travel to another state (only a 1/2 hour from where I work) to buy tickets.

Last night the TV news showed a huge line of Nevadans who'd trekked to the first outlet over here in Kalifornia to buy tickets.

I read this morning that 2 of the 6 tickets with all 5, except the Hotball, were bought at those state line outlets.

[ncpatriot]

Actually if I won a million I’d be grateful.

[ataDude]

BAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Baynative]

Since I bought another ticket on the way home today, I'm reminded of some other instructions for lottery players--

[Fungi]

Please do not waste your time. I have better ways to waste money, none include buying a lottery ticket. Thank you.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

LOL. I love it. Thanks.

I left a job once after calling my boss an ignoranus. He smugly corrected my pronunciation but then I corrected him, telling him he was an idiot AND an a$$hole.

I didn’t need a referral from him anyway.

Bill Gates could buy a ticket with every possible number combo and make a profit on this, IF he was the only winner.

[Baynative]

"Bill Gates could buy a ticket with every possible number"

Think how long it would take just to buy and print those tickets!

[Impy]

Yeah, and the machines would run out of blank tickets/ink and overflow with money. LOL
