re: We have a Powerball winner

I just hope someone from a regular town and state wins.

It's always some jerkoff from California or Illinois.

How many tickets did you buy?

Just 5 lines with the extended play

Paid $15 to win $16

No winner tonight.

Starting to think its rigged. Jackpot moved to 1.5 billion.

Powerball website is still down

I feel like if I’m gonna have to travel to a Publix in Florida to get a winning ticket.

What do you do for a living?

I have been working for decades and never liked a single job. This current one is awful. I am on for 12 days straight, off for two, on for five, off for two, and back on for 12 days straight.

Highest Jackpot Lottery ever

Might buy a ticket. I could use some pocket change

That's around $450M after taxes

I was thinking about setting up a charitable trust to donate $700 million into and only pay taxes on $82.4, leaving me about $40 million to blow and 3% on $700 million to dole out every year to good causes (plus get paid by the foundation for writing the checks).

How do you owe that much???
