  If you look at the current jackpots, you will see that PB is a "puny" 1/10th of the current MM Jackpot. Pretty soon, it will be less than that, as MM *hopefully* rolls again on Tues.

  I don't care if Powerball is "puny" compared to MM. I will still take a low Powerball jackpot over nothing any day.

  Regardless of the size of the jackpot, people who buy a lottery ticket would be happy to win it.  People who buy a pick3 lottery ticket for a dollar which cost the same as a ticket for MegaMillions or PowerBall know the most they can win is $500 and they're happy with that.

   * you don't need to buy every combination, just the winning ones *

  Interesting.  I was too lazy to add up the numbers.  Glad you did.  Always encourage more winners over one big winner.  The more winners, the better for my chance at a useless news conference.

  Too Funny Chewie!! 

  As for me hoping it rolls, I don't think I'll have enough $$ to play this week after bills... Which is Why I hope it rolls since I can play where I cash my check on Thursday.
