Powerball(PB) must come from dream landReply

Only two picked 9 as PB.This looks like numbers from dream land. And one predictor had a recurrent dream of 10 picks. It's time for a reality check, and remind all of what W.C.Fields said: If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again. But if you still don't succeed, give it up. Don't make an ass of yours

$1.5 BILLION: Wednesday Powerball record jackpot still risingReply
Last Saturday night, I had a nightmare that I won. I think all my fears collided: kidnappings, threats, family breaking up, you name it. You know...now that I think about it, I wonder how many newspaper articles I read before bed that were all negative winner stories. That would explain that dream! Yet, I am buying less tickets this time. When no one won on Saturday, it psychologically made me realize how bad the odds are. I spent about $30 and my husband spent $20. This time I'm spending

What threads entertain lottery officials the most?Reply
I once read an internal email between public relations officials about a well-intentioned but paranoid player, and the official called the player a lunatic to the other official. They find the outlandish ideas of some players ( it's rigged, superstition, ANY system, etc) quite amusing to say the least. Lotteries know that regardless of price of the bet there will always be someone willing to take the other side. So if the entertainment value of a game is high enough then they will find custom

Sometimes it's good to follow your instinct.
I'm sure sometime in people s lives, they may have experienced a strange feeling or a sense to do something out of the ordinary. Which may have brought them good luck, or even change their lives for the better. If you read some of the lotto winner stories on how they have won. Usually some of them have interesting stories. Here are a couple of recent winners with similar experience. They were just one or two numbers away from matching the mega ball number. http://www.megamillions

Single mother who won $6 million in lottery opens up about the good and bad of winning millionsReply
I am happy for Gloria, that she resisted the temptation to splurge and instead used the winnings to safeguard both hers and the kids financial future. 3 million is not a ton of money but if managed well then it could lead to a comfortable life and that really is what counts. I am happy that she also got a trust worthy financial advisor who helped to keep her grounded and focused on the bigger picture and did not take her on a wild goose chase. I hope the kids will emulate her and bui

??Forking over EXTRA CASH when Jackpots SKYROCKET??Reply
I like your train of thought. So many people get drawn into spending more and more just because the pot has risen to the occassion. What they're missing, though, is that the odds remain the same regardless of the amount because each newdraw is completely independent from the last. The whole deal with the most recent record-breaking jackpot should be viewed as a prime example of this also. Look at how many combinations were sold between each draw before a couple of tickets finally matched the

Oklahoma lottery winners not in a hurry to claim prizesReply
I don't hear 33 times as many stories about people getting hit by lightning as Powerball winner stories. Those odds are a little off because: - The odds of getting hit by lightning are higher if you stand under tall trees during a thunderstorm; lower if you are smart enough not to. Are those odds for a person's entire lifetime or per thunderstorm or something? - The odds of winning the jackpot by buying ONE ticket your ENTIRE life are 33 times higher - do you know anyone who played onl
