ABC News Nightline did a story about the PB tonight.

The odd is still the same, 1 out of 175 million per 1 ticket. It does not matter how many people play the lottery, just more likely that more multiple winners.
 
in once more. I will have some explaining to do to my wife on why I am sending multiple 11 dollars to some mage on the internet.
 
I thought about it very long and hard last night on this lottery thing. I don't have a lot of money, my paycheck covers the mortgage, insurance, and bills. Rarely do I have spare money to save. Winning the lottery will mean nothing to me because I'll just blow it away in a couple of years and go back to the same old misery with even more problems. So I've decided to stop buying lottery tickets, and turn to hard liquor.

We're leaving in about half an hour to throw away $10 buy a few PB tickets.

I'm very disappointed at you RossMAN. So did you get an deals on bulk buying PB tickets?
 
I just received the email from Vivi. Look like the amount spent on PB went down each time.

All major news outlets (ABC, NBC, CBS) did a story about PB tonight. Some of the players waited in line for hours. Yike.

I spent $30 total this round ($10 on Vivi, $20 on my own - I even went to a ghetto liquor store for good luck..LOL).

Just in case no one wins tonight, the jackpot could go over 1 billion USD. <awe>
 
Just picked up a few tickets myself. There was a little line at the grocery store I went to. Good luck to everyone playing 🙂
 
Look at it this way.
You didn't win the powerball. You were not one of the chosen.
But then again, last week six people were alive in Texas and the odds of anyone getting killed by a killer tornado was pretty slim to nothing too.
So while you were not one of the ones that won the $600, you were also not one of the unlucky six randomly killed by weather.
So figure you broke even on this one.
 
Looks like they were off on their estimate, the winning jackpot will likely be only 590 Million and not 600.

what the fuck, are you telling me i will miss out on that extra 10 million? ugh bastards need to estimate better, all my plans are ruined now.
