  The jackpot's big and all, but should I wait for an even bigger jackpot? I don't want to be too addicted, I have some money deposited from one of the nation's few state lottery's official websites where I can play online Powerball.

   

  This is all that I have and I want to have fun playing!

   

  On one hand, I can match numbers that i want to be matched. But on the other hand, I don't want to lose due to a roll-over!

   

  Your opinion?

   

  I need your advice

  You do not need to play because I already have the winning ticket in my possession.-weshar75

  Bigger jackpots tend to decrease your chance of being the only winner, so you could end up getting a smaller portion of a larger prize.  Besides, any lottery win of $1 million or more is life changing for most people, so why wait for some arbitrarily high jackpot?

  All you need is a ticket and a dream.  You have to be in it to win.

  If you have any interest in playing, then play. Remember, one ticket is all you need for a chance to win.

  I think you should play if you have the extra cash on hand then because I usually have $2 to $3 in my wallet.  Good luck to your ticket.-weshar75

  I think I will play and someone will win tonight as my vote.

  I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the PB to win the largest PB jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars! I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the Mega Ball to win the largest Mega Millions jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars!
