Powerball is at $425 million
Are you going to buy a ticket? I've got mine! What would you buy if you won?
Also, friendly reminder: As usual, whenever the lottery gets huge, people rush to buy tickets, and some of them buy dozens or even hundreds. [url=http://live.wsj.com/video/people-dont-buy-more-than-one-powerball-ticket/17391982-B5F3-4617-A6EE-2B062ACE09A1.html#!17391982-B5F3-4617-A6EE-2B062ACE09A1]Here's a video[/url] from the Wall Street Journal reminding us that this is a massive waste of money. Don't buy more than one ticket!
Of course, you can't win if you don't play, and spending a buck is unlikely to break the bank for most people. But don't spend more than that if you do play -- statistically, your odds of winning are almost the same (near zero) whether you're buying one or a hundred tickets.

Edited by RIP delta: 8/8/2013 2:59:01 AMFoman you appear to have the lottery tactic I have - ignore it until the prize gets stupidly big. Last ticket I bought was for the Euro-Millions with a purse of £180m ($280m). One ticket at £2. Didn't win tho

1 ReplyLast year my supervisor at work won $250,000 in Mega Millions. The only number she missed was the mega ball. She's a 68 year old woman and the most sweetest person ever, everyone was so happy for her.

Edited by Enlightened One: 8/8/2013 2:06:10 AMBought my first lottery ticket with my own money. There would be so much to do, I don't think I could be all done till the end of at least 30 days of spending, investing and helping out selected businesses and people I know and care for. EDIT: "Did you know, putting just $1 million in a savings account could generate you up to $3,000 per month depending on your interest rate?"

my mom always buys just one and only when it gets to be a large pot like this. If I won that much money I would buy a small house, nice but small and then rent a warehouse for my cars I would undoubtably purchase.

Why do people always bring up taxes? It not like it makes a big difference if what you make now is a pity fraction of what you'll end up getting. Greedy sons of B's

I'd watch tv with that money.
-
Wasn't it that high already twice this year?
-
Man, with that kinda money you could do anything you want with your life. Powerball is an American exclusive lotto isn't it?
-
It's gonna be the guy who buys one ticket cause he figures "why not?"

I'd build my own house and go to space.

I might buy one or two later.

1 ReplyI just got 3 tickets with my mom, and a $1 iced coffee at 7/11. I'll buy a Flood party house, with blackjack, and hookers.
