Those of us who have been a jackpot winner appreciate your continued funding of the game to add to our win. I anticipate another big win tuesday night.

Check with your accountant to see if you can write it off as a failed investment.
I've only won 5 bucks just once.

If you threw in your life savings and cashed out your 401K, you would probably get slightly better results

Sounds like someone should explain probabilities to you.

No, that's most people. It's a scam.

Thats not right. You won four bucks.
I got the power ball on the last drawing when it hit a billion. I cashed it in. I lost 6 bucks instead of 10.
Plus it was worth it to see the expression on the clerks face when I asked if just missing one number but having the rest won anything as I was handing it to her.

I do the same thing, 5 tickets and rarely get a single number. I did win $2 on mega millions last week though so that was cool, that's the first time I've ever won anything. I don't get tickets often though. I'll get 5 today for mega millions.

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
Really, that pisses you off? 2 mil or 5 mil is life changing for 99% of population. I'm not quitting my job over 2 mil, but it would still be life changing.
what pisses me off is the time I hit 4 numbers and won 100 bucks. 5th number was a 22 and I had a 21 or something like that. I was very early 20s then and certainly that would have taken me down a different path in life, not necessarily for the better, so I like to believe it was a blessing.

I have proclaimed myself as the worst lottery player to ever waste money on a ticket.
But you could be worse
