POWERBALL

“Any players are there???? You feeling lucky!!!!

You need to buy a ticket for this coming big drawing and sign in here in order to be eligible. This would be a collective effort amongst all those that purchase a chance to win this coming Xmas big drawing Whom every (hypothetically) wins would SHARE the winnings with all those TT'ers that purchased a chance to win.

What do you say folks???? Group effort.”

“wow. . . that would be a humdinger of a lawsuit


No disrespect intended. But let me be clear.

My posting to this thread should not be interpreted as my consent to share any such winnings.


They are mine all mine.”

“Sucker bet.”

“The WV winner is ALREADY a millionaire who has 3 construction Co's.

And the rich get richer!”

“Now that just bums me out!

Let someone who needs it win.”

“Better to have 300 people win $1 million, than 1 person win $300+ million.”

“YEAH!! Unless it's just me.”

“i bet my dad is going absolutely nuts, LOL! they live in the exact community the winner lives in (Scott Depot), and he buys lotto tickets at that store. oh the humanity!”

“There was an interview with the guy on NPR yesterday. He said he went back to the store and told the girl there that he won. "No you didn't," she replied, "You're not happy enough!"”

“yeah, i heard that! i was surprised at how much less he's going to get, because he wants it in the form of a lump sum.”

“Hey, $111 million after taxes ain't too shabby.”

“I just saw the guy on CNN.

If Uncle Fester dressed up like a cowboy... you get the picture, <G>.”

“Don't wanna see no picher of the sumbich whut done took muh money!”

“In Canada, there's no taxes on lottery winnings for the first year. After that, there's only taxes on the interest of the winnings. Btw, we've never went up to a 50 million dollar jackpot.”

“Just a mere $10 million in Saturday's drawing. Oh well!”

“Not even...it's only $5 million...and it's Canadian currency.”

“Who's playing this week?

If I win, I'll buy lyra a lifetime supply of Blueberry Harvest Bars!

The odds against matching five numbered balls (out of 55) and one red ball (out of 42) to win the grand prize add up to one in 146,107,962. Second-place money, which requires matching five white balls, is $200,000 and entrants have a one in 3,563,609 chance to win. Matching four whites and the red wins $10,000 and the odds are 584,432 to one.

Odds:
Powerball jackpot 1:146,107,962
Being killed by a dog bite 1:18,016,533
Killed by lightning 1:4,289,651
Being killed in the bathtub 1:801,923 (wow!)
Being killed in a plane crash 1:391,000
Being killed in a car crash 1:6,200”

“What're the odds of being killed by a winning Powerball number?”

“like if the ball shoots out and whacks the hostess?”

“Or a heart attack when you realize you've won. I'm not picky; I don't care how the winning number kills.”

“It was reported on the radio that the jackpot is so huge now that even those who match only 5 numbers will likely be a millionaire.”

“WOW!

I still think the odds of running into lyra on the trail are astronomical!


Oh I forgot one-

Odds of being maimed by BowlderMan on a trip:
1:1

“I live in a non-lottery state, so it's academic to me. Although I have bought a ticket in Tennessee before.

Helpful hint: You're not helping your odds significantly by buying multiple tickets. Just buy one.”

“If anyone need tickets, I'm selling them for 5 bucks apiece.”

“I should've bought one when I was in Tennessee this weekend.”

“HAHA!! you people are insane.

i bet you'll win Aero, just because you're planning on doing something out of the goodness of your heart with the money! and don't think i won't hold you to it.
;-P”

“I'll start shipping the cases out Monday!”

“When is the next drawing? I might just buy a ticket if I remember to.”

“Wednesday night! I'm already planning on telling off my boss today!”

“LOL!! you so funny.”

“I told my boss that if I should ever win the lottery, I'm not one of those people who would keep working even though they're rich. I'd be outta here in a heartbeat.”

“We always go in on large jackpots here. I am buying the tickets because I am the only fool who lives in Indiana.”

“Illinois isn't a Powerball state?”

“anybody ever play these numbers?”

“I quit my job and told off my boss today, because I know I'm going to win. Tomorrow I'm going to hire a contractor to build my $30 million dollar mansion.”

“I've got mine.

If I win I'm going to run for President of the United States with the money.

Once elected, I shall make it a priority to ban all forms of state-sponsored gambling.”

“Is that your phone number?”

“No, but if you watch Lost, you will know.

Bit, no, they are part of the lotto, little lotto and mega millions family.”

“which states are part of the powerball?
I don't think MIchigan is in the loop. :-(”

“the person who wins it will be 90 yrs old and will NOT want it in a lump sum...lol”

“Didn't Georgia used to be part of POWERBALL???
I know I bought a POWERBALL ticket in the Atlanta airport one time.”

“I think they were.

I can't go to that site because our web filter has it blocked as GAMBLING!”

“I believe Michigan used to have Powerball but changed to Mega Millions because of the vastly improved chances of winning:

Powerball= 1:146,107,962
Mega Millions= 1:146,107,959”

“08/31/1996
GA leaves Powerball
The Georgia Lottery Corporation stops selling the Powerball game and joins some other lottery game.

Found it. GA was a part of POWERBALL.”

“LOL Ewker! If I were 90 and won it, I'd take the lump sum and marry a 22 year old. I'd probably only spend a couple million and die within a week!”

“Damn, I just found out my state doesn't have Powerball. Any suggestions on how to grovel to my boss to get my job back?”

“Tell him you're an idiot and you'll work for free?”

“If I were 90 and won it, I'd take the lump sum and marry a 22 year old. I'd probably only spend a couple million and die within a week!”

I think I would 'marry' four or five 22 year olds. ;-)”

“Yah, 4 of them would make an 88-yr-old and then it wouldn't be freaky.”
