Powerball jackpot $425M

[Diggincoinz]

While millions of Americans can have fun dreaming about how they'd spend the jackpot, the odds of winning are 1 in 175,000,000, according to lottery officials.
To put that in perspective, a ticket holder is 25 times less likely to win the jackpot than they are to win an Academy Award.
Even still, the old saying holds true: "You've got to be in it to win it" and the odds are that someone is going to win it eventually.

I've got my (two) tickets

Lottery tickets are a voluntary tax on people that are too stupid to do math .

I heard just the other day that your odds of dying on your way to pick up a lottery ticket for a large payoff lottery are greater than winning that lottery. I'd advise you to all STAY HOME!

For two bucks I give it a shot. If I stay home I know I won't have any odds at all. A half billion bucks if worth it just for the fun of it.

Heck for 2 dollars on wednesday and saturday I pick out my own numbers. you never know if the numbers you've picked will win unless you play them. I will give all the members on here 1000.00 dollars if I hit the 500 million just for being a friend of Tnet HH best wishes to everyone who plays it.

I don't think I'll get that generous . I will establish a liberal trust fund for Poorhunter's adopted son and his son that is soon to be born .
>Yes , TICM, I sometimes am not good at math too .

LOL I'll match that deal.

what I'd really like to do is hire a few real estate agents to help me Buy & lease as many un-hunted historical properties I can,
and start a Treasure Hunters Association of America or saddle up with GPAA & give all TNet members free memberships.
but then I would need to hire Lawyers

IF I win, I plan on taking Cash, putting it all in a checking account & Hitting up Cash Machines as often as possible till my
house is filled with cash, & I can say
Where did it all go so fast

Haha with all the odds of dieing on your way to pickup your prize from,,,,stampeding crowds of fans going to the Academe awards, and,,
the odds of getting nailed by random bolts of lightning,,
Do you really want to risk that $2

Awe screw it, take a rain coat, insulated rubber boots ,, and don't shower for two weeks (then the fans will run in the other direction )
Good luck out there
