    Hey, and it's great that the one guy that fixed a Powerball was just fired, too. That announcement was going to totally hurt the spending of Powerball tickets, right?

    Oh, that's right. Nobody really gave a shit.
    And now, it's up to 700+ million, 3/4s of which will go straight back to Uncle Sam.

    Buy those tickets, maybe one of you will be one in a kabillion.

    Fucking idiocy.

    Oh, by the way, here's the one of the last Powerball winners!

    Greedy Americans?

    I know the odds of winning don't change, but the likelihood of someone winning does increase each week.

    Probably not a great habit?

    it is funny

    I never think about playing until people are talking about the big jackpots. probably a lot of people are the same

    A 78 year old woman with 47 cats. She'll die a month later, leaving it all to the cats.

    This guy has the right idea. I'd do what he is planning on doing with the money.

    Bought a ticket, did a work pool.

    I could use $100+ million.

    Yup, and if you do that in New York you'll net a loss of about $22,000,000 after paying the taxes, worse in the city.

    That's provided nobody else did the same because you'd just cut your winnings in half.

    CBG, you're a friend of Jay, so I'll put this politely... I have no fucking idea what your post means.

    But the Pro Bowl stopped being in Hawaii years ago, so I think somebody is getting raped in the very confusing scenario you just posed.
