 Re: Have you bought your ticket?
What the F*CK is a super ball ticket? You mean Powerball? I bought a couple. Like falcon said, probably won't get much out of it, but that's ok. I Drive past the sign every day that shows the amount it's at. Pretty impressive how much it has gone up each of the last 2 draws. 175 million just in the last draw. Someone is going to have the best Christmas they could ever imagine.

Like here in Oregon there is Mega Bucks. So i'm sure all the other states have one too. As for tickets, I buy them pretty often I guess. I buy 1 ticket for every 100 million. But not for anything under 100. Me and my woman go half n half. lol.

 Re: Have you bought your ticket?
Something to think about The odds of winning are around 1 in 175,000,000 They are anticipating selling 189,000,000 tickets for this drawing.
Odds are more than one person wins it tonight.

Odds are more than one person wins it tonight. Either way, that's over $250 Million before taxes. Half of the jackpot is larger than usual. I wouldn't doubt the 189,000,000 tickets. I was in line to get something to drink today, and all six people in front of me bought at least $10 worth of Powerball tickets. One of the people spent over $100. Which isn't unusual. When Mega Millions made it to $565+ million a few months back, there were reports of people spending $1000 on tickets. What a way to go broke.

 Re: Have you bought your ticket?
I can't buy tickets for the Power Ball! Well I could I just don't want to drive across the border to get them. I do buy tickets for our Canadian Lottery up here, woohoo ours is a paultry $50 million compared to yours! But atleast it's tax free though.

 Re: Have you bought your ticket?
People at my work bought 50 tickets... i didn't get in on it... glad I didn't, they only won 14 dollars... and I think they asked for like 6 or 10 dollars from each person.

People willing to spend what they can afford for a shot at living in the lap of luxury. Unfortunately for almost every one of them, they will never get what they are hoping for. Same with me. I don't spend $200 on tickets, but even my $10 worth, is more than likely a waste. But I made a game out of it. So it's just fun. On, and in my previous post I said people were spending over $1000k on tickets for the $565 jackpot. Didn't realize it was actually over $665 million.

 Re: Have you bought your ticket?
Yeah Cani youre right. Rob Dyrdek (The Not funny guy from MTV's Ridiculousness) Spent $700 on the jackpot in March. Even though his net worth is 15 million and he made I think it was like 30K for each episode of his older reality TV show Rob & Big.
