You should just tell those people that if they really wanted to give $49 extra dollars to a group of 11 steel workers from Indiana, they could just mail a check. Ya know?

I bought 1. I don't think I've ever bought more than 1. I don't typically buy lottery tickets, but when it get's this much press, what's 2 bucks. It's not like buying 3 of them is really increasing your 1/290000000 chances all that much

I laugh when i see people buy 50 tickets when it doesn't really increase your odds vs buying one.


It absolutely increases your odds. Now is it worth it? Hell no.

i have never played the lottery but me and some buddies decided to spend $10 each and join the fun. we spent all day bullshitting about it and will probably spend part of saturday doing the same. already worth it just to be a part of the fun.

will not buy tickets again until the next historical value is reached and will do it again for the same reasons.

I got my information from the Louisiana Lottery website. I am at work and work filters prevent me from double checking. I was sure that I saw that the ticket in Natchitoches said it was purchased at Triple J's One Stop in Natchitoches.

Bought 5 tickets.


I did the power play and got the powerball by itself on one row. Idk how much I won but I'm expecting a huge payout.


Or maybe 4 dollars.

You out in the Permian Basin?

I bought 10 tickets in Carlsbad yesterday, won $4. Plan on picking up 10 more for Saturday.

I also looked at the Louisiana Lottery website. Winning tickets were sold at Food N Fun #18, 203 North Lewis St, New Iberia, LA and Pablo's, 2490 Morganza Highway, New Roads, LA.

ETA: The ticket that was purchased at 3 J's Four Way, 11028 Highway 1, Natchitoches, LA was a 4/5+PB+PP which got them 150K.

Bought 5 tickets. Also bought a $5 scratch at the same time. Haven't checked my tickets but hit $100 on the scratch off so I'm at worse, up $85.
