I don’t buy tickets often . Only when it’s really big and even then sometimes I forget .

In my entire life I’ve probably bought maybe 500 tickets total .

I always buy 5 tickets

It seems like 99 out of 100 times I don’t get a single number on any of the 5 tickets .

I have never gotten the powerball a single time out of 500ish tickets

It’s amazing .

You miss every number if you don’t play.

You're not the only one. What's worse is standing in line with someone trying to decide which scratch off to buy at the same time.

Thank goodness all this money goes to education like Edwin Edwards promised!

The odds of that happening are astronomical. They ought to pay you something for that.

I play about once every couple of months or when it gets big.. I bought 3 tickets for the Powerball a couple of weeks back and didn't a single number... The best I have ever gotten was 2 numbers and the Mega number with the power play.. That was a little over 30 bucks..

It pisses me off that in Powerball if you hit the 5 numbers the most you can win is 2 million even if you have the power play.. Some guy played the Mega Millions and the multiplier was 5 and he won 5 million..

My coworker hit 4 numbers plus powerball when powerball was almost $1 billion a few weeks ago. Won $50k on a quick pick. You just never know.

Our office pool had over 250 tickets Friday and over 220 last Tuesday. We had very few numbers correct.

On one of the big mamma jamma powerballs, I got the first three numbers in a row. Missed on the last two and the PB, though, by a combined total of 9 or 10 "digits" or some shite.

Won $7 (well, $5) - but got that blood pressure up that day!
