    Did you buy a Mega Millions/Powerball ticket?
    Tonight’s Mega Millions jackpot is at $432 Million

    Tomorrow’s Powerball is at $410 Million

    I bought $20 worth of tickets for each. I know I’m just throwing money away but at least I can dream for a couple of days.

    Would you take the cash option or the annuity?

    The financial experts say take the cash option and invest.

      Very true JJ

      Many of us would be broke again in 5 years, or dead

            No lottery in Nevada; I'm about 50 miles from the lotto store at the stateline.

                    Covid is fukking up the lottery too.

                    Used to be a lot of working people in office pools buying like a couple hundred tickets. Not any more.

                      I'm not worried about China flu but I do know that traveling that distance, you're around 70 times more likely to die in a car crash on the way there or back than you are to hit the jackpot.

                        True

                        Every time the jackpot got up there we’d buy around $200 worth of tickets at work

                        Now everyone telecommuting so no buy ins

                              Bought one of each. You are a buffoon if you buy more than one imo

                                  Whatever floats your boat. Instead of 1 in 300,000,000 mill chance you got a 50 in 300,000,000 mill chance. 🤷*♂️

                                    Bought some a few times last month but I’m taking a break again. Got $6 back once thanks to the multiplier, but bricked the rest. Good luck all!

                                        That's what I do if I'm in a state with lotto; if it gets over $300 million, I buy one ticket.

                                            If I could go back in time after the numbers are read I'd buy the winning power ball ticket every time

                                                  The night you found out you’re numbers hit you would get a personal loan so that you could get a kilo and some call girls?

                                                  Then you would invest smartly
