    We will see billion dollar lottery jackpots soon....very soon

    Powerball NOT ONLY DOUBLED their ticket prices while we were already seeing 400 and 500 mil jackpots but also ADDED MORE BALLS ....how this could not lead to billion dollar jackpots soon is beyond me...with these changes not only is the jackpot twice as expensive to hit but significantly harder (odds went from 1 in 175 million to 1 in 292 million)...basically they doubled the prices AND the odds simultaneously...you gotta be luckier than a 4 dick dog with a kennel full of bitches in heat

    Now having said that if one of you true gentlemen hits the lotto dont forget your old friend bettil...I've loved u and always will love u...u know that....now do the right thing...and to you dumb penetrateing degenerates that miss....what a waste of cash!

    Oh yea and one more thing....how the penetrate can motherfuckers stand in line for 15 mins getting their 100 bucks worth of lotto tickets punched in....damn sakes cant Powerball afford some kiosks or something for these bastards....no telling how much money is lost at gas stations by ppl just walking out and going to the next gas station while some jackass gets his 50 #s he always plays punched in by hand

    Its pure and absolute random luck....just quick pick the motherfuckers and see if they draw those #s....YOUR 50 #s AINT lucky....how can anyone have 50 lucky #s anyway? Unless you've already hit the powerball in which case feel free to have a line wrap around the store while the foreign clerk punches in your 50 tickets

    I just bought powerball tickets. I thought they were always 2 dollars. I didn't pay attention to more numbers since I did quick picks

    The ppl that run Powerball are geniuses simply bc the vast majority of ppl are suckers....they know when they start advertising 500 million jackpot!!!!! Ppl are gonna run out and fill their pockets of which the juice is HALF...unreal...that's right for every jackpot hit Powerball hits the equal jackpot in their pockets GUARANTEED

    They've doubled the price of tickets and doubled the odds AGAINST hitting the jackpot....that 2x2=4x the size of previous jackpots....back when they were a dollar and had less balls (before October) 500 mil was only going to occur once every few years bc the odds were 1 in 175 mil and tickets were a buck...so the avg jackpot should be 175 mil....but now the odds are 1 in 292 mil AND the ticket costs $2 bucks so the AVERAGE jackpot should be 584 mil...back in the pre-October days 175 mil jackpot (average size) wouldnt even get mentioned now a below average jackpot gets every sucker with 50 bucks to burn to buy 25 slips of worthless paper for 50 bucks to increase their odds all the way to 1 in 12 million....a 500 mil jackpot pre-October would be the equivalent of a 1.8 billion dollar jackpot under the new rules and double ticket prices....this is actually a below average jackpot but since the odds are so astronomical ppl are racing to buy their tickets

    I say just add another 5 more balls or whatever and make the odds 1 in a billion and suckers will be emptying their paychecks to become "instant" billionaires.

    Didn't realize the increase in numbers until I bought a ticket yesterday. At least I can play Dallas Keuchel's uniform number now.

    900 mil already this morning....its goin up a 100 mil a day anyway one would have to assume a 100 mil in ticket the day of the drawing...100 mil tickets on drawing day for a jackpot this high is nothing

    Boys I think tonight is going to be our first BILLION dollar lottery winner....and again if its someone here please know that I care about you deeply....remember when we met and started posting random nonsense to each other...oh good times the memories are priceless....do the right thing buddy

    And of course to you suckers that miss and just put flames to your money....wtf were you thinking buying 50 powerball tickets? Why not just take a $100 bill and wipe your ass with it and flush it....unreal....you know that's 14 hours of flipping burgers at McDs and all for a 1 in 6 million chance one of your 50 tickets will hit....eh well I guess it was all government assistance anyway but still

    Anyways good luck to all the suckers (like me yea yea yea I cant NOT at least buy a few slips of junk paper for the US largest lottery jackpot....they always sucker a 20 out of my ass somehow even though the odds were already impossible pre-October and now they're 4x harder)

    It would not surprise me at all if no one hits tonight and we see like a 1.5 billion jackpot Wednesday night....can you imagine! The lucky rooster_eater that hits that is gonna have a damn stroke!

    Man... so many people buying tickets.

    I'm just curious... does anyone know the official breakdown of each $2 ticket sold? We all know all of it doesn't go towards the jackpot.

    Is it like $.50 towards jackpot? Or $1.00?

    Lottery retailer makes like $0.09 a ticket or something like that sold.

    Supposed to be half of the money goes to the jackpot but who the penetrate knows....again 50% fee is pretty fukin high in the gambling world....if a casino had a slot that paid off less that 80% theyd be shutdown.

    BUT if you only play like I do when the jackpot is surreal then it costs ya 20 bucks a year so who cares...and if I hit I'll be balls deep in some supermodels for the rest of my life

    Odds are the same for me as they are for the eventual winner; shitty. Only play it when it gets high, quit telling me the odds, i fukking know them and don't care.

    Its truly the equivalent of being struck by lightning today and then tomorrow also being struck by lightning....the old rules were a dollar ticket for 1 in 175 mil and somehow even that didnt seem hard enough so they doubled the price and added more balls making it 1 in 292 mil

    Now the the interesting thing of making it THAT fuckin hard is that there will probably only be one winning ticket so you're not gonna have the 3 and 4 way splits unless its some kinda miracle....now of course if you're in some pool at a factory and split it 10 ways that's another thing but still if cash option is 600 mil or whatever thats 60 mil for everyone which aint bad

    It's $900 million if you take the 29 year payout. It's $558 million if you take the lump sum. That's all before taxes of course. It's best to take the lump sum. Look at the people getting fukked in Illinois.

    Illinois state lottery is a fuckin joke that state (in particular Chicago) is broke beyond all recognition....I PROMISE YOU Powerball and Mega Millions AINT BROKE...you can take the annuity all day long....think about that it would a FIRST payout of about 20 mil then 20 mil a year 29 years....I'm liable to have 400 mil in the bank and be one of those jackasses that blows it all in a few years....I'm more than happy with 20 mil in the bank and 1.5 mil a month for the next 29 years ....keep in mind Illinois State Lottery isnt offering annuities or lump sump payouts they aint offering shit....I heard they got scratchoff winners for like 5 grand they wont even pay....ridiculous

    Oddly enough out of the last 107 Powerball winners only 1 has taken the annuity payments...theres one guy who took the lump sum and blew 200 mil in 5 years and is now 70 and workin 9 to 5....he "lost" a 500k briefcase HE KEPT IN HIS TRUCK at a strip club one night....I'd like to think I'm not that guy but I can imagine putting 10 mil on some "lock" sportsbets bc winning a 100 grand wouldn't even register anymore if I had 400 mil suddenly in the bank

    I don't think any goes to retailer. Think they get some percent if winning ticket sold at their joint (maybe lower tier too??) so that and driving traffic is why they do it I believe. Not percent of your ticket but if pot is 900 they get 90. Doesn't come out of winners share, taken from cut

    UH penetrate NO ACTUALLY THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE...the only change to the payouts was that if you hit 4 numbers + PB instead of 50k payout under the old rules you now get 10k (how nice lol)...the only thing they did do was lower the # of Powerballs....ya see in Powerball if you JUST match the Powerball you win 4 bucks on your 2 dollar ticket...match a couple #s and the Powerball and u win a big ol $7 etc....so its supposedly EASIER to win SOMETHING now bc they went from 35 to 26 Powerballs so at least 1 out of 26 tickets $2 will win a whopping 4 bucks instead of 1 out of 35 $1 tickets winning 4 bucks....YIPPEE

    Old ways 4 whites + no PB 100 SAME
    4 whites + PB $50k....new way 4 whites + PB $10k (LOL)
    5 whites + no PB 1 mil SAME

    5 whites + PB SUPERMODEL GF SAME

    I am under the impression that this is true with regards to Powerball/Mega Millions....there is a huge incentive to sell lottery tickets bc EVENTUALLY someone is going to at least hit a million (or 2 mil if they powerplay) especially if you own multiple stores and you get 10% of that....of course if they hit the powerball 10% of which you would shut the gas station down and it would be like u hit the lottery yourself...also given that like 300 mil tickets are sold per week (and the whole population of the US is 300 mil and those under 18 cant even play the lottery) it would be ridiculous to not offer lottery sales and decline that traffic that will hopefully fillup their tank and buy some shit

    I am not sure how scratchoff state lotteries work but I would think it would just be a % of sales

    Whoops I'm wrong....first time for everything ...old odds were 4 whites + PB paid 10k new odds 4 whites + PB pay 50k so I guess that unlikelihood justifies doubling the price and adding more white balls
