No Jackpot Winning Powerball Tickets Sold in $500 Million Drawing

Yup a tax on the poor...... and the middle class, and even rich people play lol.

I am in. A half a billion bucks is sure fun to dream on.

Some people buy alcohol. They get their winnings the next morning. I dont drink, so I can afford to play a little bit.

A half a billion bucks...

1.4 is not too shabby, I'd be one happy cat lady. Much better than the $5 I won. Reinvested that $5 back in to powerball tickets, then went to a couple more stores and picked up some more!

I would love to win a billion dollars. Still more than any one man needs. So i too would share with the ATS community!

I would horde it, become a power broker, crush souls, and join the Illuminati.

8 HUNDRED MILLION !!

Saaawwwweeeeet!

I hope it keeps going til just buying a ticket pays 20 bucks.

a reply to: randyvs

Lmao, that would be nice wouldnt it.

Powerball recently reorganized their number schema. Likely to foil the stat players.

More numbers, higher odds, higher payouts.

a reply to: smirkley

I have two tickets.
I'm so cheap!

a reply to: randyvs

It only takes one ticket to win, and a pile of tickets does not change your odds a whole lot.

Good luck to all ticket holders.
(But I have it on good authority mine is a winner)

a reply to: smirkley

I have no problem with authority! At least not at this moment.

And certainly good luck

Just watched a guy drop two hundred dollars on quick picks. Made my two dollar ticket seem insignificant....

The pot is up to 900M.

a reply to: KawRider9

I've bought 25 so far and think that's gonna be the max, $50 is getting a bit much. The line at the store where I usually buy my smokes was out the door, people are standing in the rain!

900 Million, can you imagine?

Las Vegas channel 5 interviewed some guy buying tickets and asked him what he would spend the money on. What he said is a violation of the T&C, so needless to say his answer was awesomely hilarious!! Saw it on YouTube.

I think if my wife and I, if we were to win the big anchelada, we pay off the house and go in hiding at various 5 star hotels around the world.

And I would hire a lawyer to be the "no" man to answer all the grubby inquiries.

a reply to: smirkley

good luck everybody!!!

a reply to: research100

i had 20 tickets, some quickpicks some my picks....I got the bonus number twice and I had 2 winning numbers in one row and 1 winning number in another row, these did not have the right bonus # ....I did win 5 bucks on the scratcher I bought


googled the winning numbers because the lotto site is innundated and down

16-19-32-34-57 bonus number-13

No winners on tonight's powerball. The jackpot is now over 1.3 billion.

a reply to: smirkley

Same here, wouldn't want people knowing about it. First stop would be to a lawyer to create a trust, the trust can claim the billions Then a trip around the world would be in order.

Good luck

a reply to: research100

Matched the poweball and 1 number Wed and tonight. Won $5 Wed, not sure about tonight, probably another 5. It's just fun and exciting to dream about what to do with the winnings. That is enough money to live comfortably with lots of wants and to help out lots of other people and animals. 1.3 billion, could you imagine!

Good luck to you too

a reply to: Jennyfrenzy

always fun to dream!!!! my friend won 300 bucks on a scratcher once, that's the biggest win either of us ever had!

Cue the crisis actors:

“The Lottery, with its weekly pay-out of enormous prizes, was the one public event to which the proles paid serious attention. It was probable that there were some millions of proles for whom the Lottery was the principal if not the only reason for remaining alive. ... Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being nonexistent persons.”
