    I'll wait till it hits $1 billion before buying any tickets.

    Because who wants to be a $500 millionaire, when you can be a billionaire?

    If I didn't have to drive 50 miles, I'd waste two dollars, maybe four.

    Something tells me they are building this up... "rigged fashion" for the Holiday Season.

    Did the person who won the last billion dollar jackpot months ago... ever turn in his/her ticket? I think it went 1 week after the drawing... and the person never came forward?

    i do it because i don't want to be the 1 at work who did not enter and then with my luck the ticket would win and i would be the schmuck left out. i would be the ultimate loser. not far from what i am now but still.

    It's a phenomena of the human condition and societal lines intersecting and there are many different type or forms of the "lottery".

    We see it sports and entertainment all the time. Young guns hit the lotto and unless they are taught or able to give their money to a responsible manager, shit happens.

    They can make enough to be set for life and not care because they think more will be coming in. Often they are right, for a time, but it always catches up.

    How much did Mike Tyson, near the end, end up doling out for his entourage, training camp, etc.? It's not just diamonds and cars, sometimes it's just the surroundings.

    You can be a businessman.

    Or you can be a a business, man.

    Jackpot has been raised to 700 million from 680 due to high volume of ticket sales for 10/26 draw. Frenzy has started.

    How come when a corporation makes a billion dollars in a year they pay 2 or 3 or maybe 5% tax… but when a regular person makes a billion dollars from the lottery in a year they are taxed at close to 50%?
    Asking as a Canadian who can't write off lottery losses & isn't taxed on lottery winnings.

    No jackpot winner tonight. Now at 800 million for 10/29 draw. 6 millionaires minted from hitting 2nd prize (5+0)

    There was no jackpot winner in the Wednesday, October 26, 2022 Powerball drawing, but 6 lucky players matched the first 5 numbers for a $1,000,000 prize: 2 from California, 1 from Connecticut, 1 from Illinois, 1 from Michigan, and 1 from New York.

    never waste a dime people
    Go get a nice candy bar with the money that is what I will be doing

    If you win next day you need 24 hr security rest of your life and family does

    Good luck with that and the start of the ruination of your life as you knew it

    Almost all people could not handle that wealth
