How many quick picks is everyone buying? I'm getting 50 picks for myself and joining Vivi's pool. Do I sound like I have a gambling problem?

I know the odds of winning are terrible. But it is still fun to dream, and buying one gives the anticipation value of winning the jackpot which is worth the $2. Buying additional tickets give no extra anticipation value and so is a waste of money.

But thanks for helping drive up the amount of money I will win :thumbsup:

If you think that's stupid, you should know that I was actually planning to go to the bank to pull out 1k in cash for 500 picks. I think I have a gambling problem. Must not go through with it.

It wouldn't increase your odds by any meaningful amount. Especially if you did quick picks since you'd likely get dups.
 
Powerball gods, heed my call. Bless me! Bless my tickets! Bless my quick pick numbers! Bless my numbers for Saturday night, May 18. Give me the power to do good in this world!
