I always have a 'kwikpic' ticket in the game when its above the $500 million mark!:yeah: Here's hopin'; though I haven't a clue what I'd spend it on at age 73...as I've already got all the toys I can handle!??

I use to buy a few lines two times per month.

Do I feel lucky ? Not exactly but who knows a dollar here or a dollar there my come my way-Winning the jackpot! I'm not aiming that high.

I much prefer the 'You gotta be in it to win it' frame of mind Markus.

Just purchased 5 lines Crossing my fingers for luck

A million would do fine however 1.3 bn would do even better-I don't think I have that much of luck.

Markus

[Jimbuna]

When you win remember it was me who was the first one to wish you luck :)

[vienna]

Winning 1.3 BN? Gee, I don't know...




...I'm not sure I want to have to cut back on my current lifestyle...




<O>

[Platapus]

Instead of these unreasonably large lotteries, I would like to see a lottery that if you win, they just pay off your mortgage.


That way more people could win.


I suspect that a lot of people are like me... If I did not have a mortgage my financial outlook would be pretty good.

One thing is certain though-Ones lifestyle will change when winning so much money.

A question

These 1.3bn is that what you can win or does IRS have to get their 40% of it first?

Markus:huh::shifty::roll::yep::wah::damn::mad:

[Jeff-Groves]

The Feds take 24% right off the bat!
Then the States step in. Ohio would take 4%
Then some Cities would take some. Depending where you live.
So if you take a lump sum payout? You'd be taxed on $608.9 Million.
Note that any Ransom you'd have to pay on kidnapped family comes outta that also.

No, I'd still shop on facebook marketplace for deals, and use coupons for fast food. :har:

[em2nought]

Well this is suspicious. Drawing delayed? First they delay the results of votes, and now it's the lottery. All I can say is Hunter better not win. :D

Powerball Update
The Powerball drawing scheduled for 7:59 p.m. PT tonight (April 6) has been delayed. In order to protect the security and integrity of the game, additional time is required for one participating lottery to complete required pre-draw procedures. Please hold onto your tickets and check back later. Visit Powerball.com for the latest updates.:hmmm: very fishy indeed!

[Platapus]

Only in the U.S. can following the rules be suspicious. :nope:

[em2nought]

It depends on who is making the rules, or who is altering the rules at the very last minute. If I could alter an election and get away with it, I guess I'd figure why not alter a powerball lottery? :D

[mapuc]

However some very lucky person have won 1.3bn dollars.
