Reckless is a good word to describe their play.
I try not to play in pots with them. They just don't give a frick. I certainly don't attempt to bluff them.

Yep, they mainly stay at the limits tables so there's that

Well you've sat with them at the Baccarat table and placing a $25+ bet on Dragon coming is like going all-in with ace high with a 4 card flush on the board. I think they live for the "thrill."

Not quite there, only prizes above $5000 will automatically be taxed, prizes between $600-$4999 will be reported to the IRS and a W-2G will be issued. So not all prize money is taxed.
Ok, so 50% of the 45% in payouts, I fail to see a difference that makes.
The government gets roughly .65 for every dollar spent on lotto tickets. It honestly can't even be considered gambling, closer to a tax.

i wasn't doing anything exciting on Monday anyway... guess I'll drive over to Pensacola and throw away a few dollars on some tickets.

The bull shite corrupt government should not tax this. The person who wins deserves to get all 1.3 billion. frick the government for wanting a share. fricking corrupt pieces of shite.

Amateurs let the Powerball pot build up with their stupid play, then the pros step in and earn the big money.

damnit I went all in for this one, assuming there'd be a winner with all those tickets sold. Guess I gotta dig into pockets again

Do y'all think that the players that buy every week religiously get extra pushed at the guy that comes in and buys one ticket and wins Wednesday?
Like the deer hunter on his first hint that shoots the huge buck the club has been trying to get for years?
Lol, morans....
But I'm def shelling out 8 quarters this week.

How? Do their quick picks not cover all possibilities? Surely close to 300,000,000 quick picks were bought?
They did $800,000,000 in sales. At $2 a pop, that equals 400,000,000 tickets IF NONE OF THEM HAD PowerPlay. I'm sure many of them did, leaving a significantly lower number of tickets. At almost 300,000,000 possible combinations, I'm sure it was close.
The odds were slim that nobody would win, but the odds are also slim (based on number of tickets sold) that someone WILL win in the early stages and people still do.
Up until almost $300,000,000, there is less than a 10% chance someone will win on each individual draw. (Based on number of tickets sold vs. possible combinations)

how badass would it be if nobody wins wed either. shite would be 2 billion.

Guess I will buy one.

I only buy powerball tickets if I'm out in the middle of nowhere. It always seems like some yokel from Padukah, KY or Batesville, MS wins it.

I wonder how many people will really hurt themselves financially trying to win this thing

Do you win anything for having two white numbers match?
