Anyone buy a Powerball Tix?

[Alleycat]

I don't usually buy lottery tickets but what the hell. I figure I have a 50/50 chance-either I win or I don't and it only cost a buck.

1. LOL, hell of way to look at it!

:rofl:

Yeah, we've got one.

[Fox Mulder]

2. I'm actually about ready to head out to buy $10 worth.

If I win, everyone here on the DU gets $10,000. I promise. :)

6. That would work if you had $856 million.

The jackpot is $365 million with the lump sum at $178 million (around $120 million after taxes).

:)

17. I love you. n/t

[Wcross]

3. Yes I did.

5 dollars worth! I have a snowballs chance in hell of winning it but I enjoy the daydreams about how I would use it.

[Archae]

4. $1 worth here.

what the heck, worth a try.

5. What in the hell would I do with all that money? Someone said

this morning you could change your name and buy a million dollar house some place. Why in the hell would I want to live with a bunch of GD Republicans. I would be happy with that $10000.

7. No... we don't have it in New York

I'll just have to settle for the $170 million MegaMillions jackpot! ;)

8. I'm in an office pool...

What the heck. The Lottery is the masses new Retirement Plan thanks to Bush.

9. One little ticket...

Just for the fun of fantasizing for a few hours:)

10. I don't buy any. But I do pick numbers...

and write them down. Last time, I picked ten sets of numbers, and none of them won. So I saved ten bucks. I put it in a savings account. With interest rates going back up, you can earn almost five percent. (Check out FDIC insured account with HSBC).

Saving the money and earning the interest is a much better return than throwing the money away on tickets that won't win.

Also, you are about 1000 times more likely to be killed in a car accident this week than you are to win the lottery.

Yeah. I'm a killjoy...

11. The hubby's office all went in on a bunch.

Good luck.

[gizmo1979]

12. 1 dollar here also.

Just in case.

[SmileyBoy]

13. I'm out to by a $5 ticket today.

I have a better chance of pooping out of my mouth than winning the jackpot, but it's worth a shot.

21. Same here.

I forgot to go buy tickets for myself, but I'm in a pool.

[philosophie_en_rose]

18. No Powerball in Washington.

:shrug:

I live too far away from Idaho and am too lazy to drive five hours to Oregon.

[catmandu57]

19. Nah, I'd fuck up and win it

and then I'd be a rich piggie and have to move somewhere else.
