Well Today I spent part of the day looking for a MM retailer in Vancouver, Washington and I have settled on QUICKWAY MARKET.  It has had previous jackpots their and the directions from Willamina, Oregon to Vancouver, Washington are easy to follow.  I then used the LP Quick Pick Generator to give me a set of 20 lines to play once I get there.  I am hoping for a roll over to tuesday next week and then I would like it to be good enough weather to enjoy the ride up to Vancouver.  I plan on leaving on saturday morning for the trip north and it should not take no more than 2 hours to get there.-weshar75 

I have decided to play for Oregon Megabucks tonight even though the jackpot is only a couple of million after you take the cash option.  By the time taxes are taken out it is about $1.3 million in cash so a little bit above $650 thousand between mother and I.  Still enough to get debt free both of us with new vehicles and some money in the savings account.-weshar75

The Powerball jackpot tonight is roughly going to be after taxes just a little above $4 million in cash.  That is $2 million for me and $2 million for my mother.  I can then get debt-free and a new ford truck will be in my future.  I will continue playing Powerball and add a new route to Vancouver for a new game called Mega Millions.  I will not stop playing the multi-state games as long as they are going to advertise millions of dollars I will try my luck at winning the jackpots.-weshar75

I got $6 worth of Deuces Wild $1 scratch-its and won on 3 of the tickets.  Broke even and got the $6 back.  I also got a $1 powerball ticket with powerplay for $2 and a $1 Megabucks ticket with kicker for $2.  So I hope that one of the tickets hit big tomorrow night.-weshar75

If the Mega Millions makes the next two rolls into 2-28-06 I plan on going to Washington this weekend for my first ever Mega Millions tickets.  I am not going to go very far into Washington just over to Vancouver to the first convienent store that sells Mega Millions that I can find.  So I am hoping for two roll overs and then I will be off to Vancouver.-weshar75 

I could see myself winning the next record jackpot of $390 million annuity and taking the cash option.  It would be nice to have the cash at your fingertips to do what ever you wanted to do.  I would have as much fun as I could.  I would travel all of Oregon and stay at nice hotels and have my meals in restaurants.  I would get me a new vehicle to get to these places and some new clothes to look decent in.  It would be a fun and new life that I think I would have when I win the next record Powerball Jackpot.-weshar75

The state of Oregon according to the Oregon Lottery only accounts for 2% of all of Powerballs total play.  Yet we still had 4-5+0 winners this last saturday night so I guess for one of the smaller jurisdictions in the game of Powerball we are getting pretty good with lady luck.-weshar75

Powerball is a game of luck.  You and I are never going to buy enough combinations to have a guaranteed win.  So it is up to us to buy with our money the combinations that we want to play for the draws that we want to play in.  I like to do a mix of numbers that I personally select and then also I like to get Quick Picks.  For every 10 jackpots sold in Powerball 7 will be from a winning Quick Pick ticket that leaves the other 3 winners as personally selected numbers.  I decided to play for the large jackpots so I will not play until Powerball crosses the $147 million annuity threshold.  I play a full play slip and for every 5 lines I play usually 3 lines are my personally selected numbers and the last 2 are Quick Pick numbers.  I also use the multiplier on Powerball called Powerplay on every Playslip.  That is me you can do whatever you want just remember it is a game a chance and you should play the game according to your budget set up for gambling.  As in any form of gambling you have to be lucky because most of us do not have enough money to play long enough to get the winning combination to unlock the big prizes.  That is why millions every year play and only a very small few win the grand prizes.-weshar75 

Powerball has a 10X promotion in the month of March that if you powerplay your ticket you can get up to the 10x on the prizes you win off your ticket.  I will not play though if the jackpot is not above $147 million which I do not think it will be by the end of march so it looks like I will be playing powerball in the month of April or May.-weshar75

Between wednesday and saturday night their was $175.3 million tickets purchased for the Powerball drawing.  I wonder if that is a record for powerball sales.  That is all the Powerball plus Powerplay tickets.-weshar75

That is the Match 5 bonus prize pool payout to the 42 second place winners so some got over $600 thousand and some got over $1.2 million.  It must be nice I will try my luck again next time and maybe get me a big win before 06 is in the history books.-weshar75 

Well I did not hit the big time but I was still lucky with my 21 lines of Powerball.  I had 3 lines that paid out a 0+1, a 1+1 and a 2+1 all with powerplay.  So I spent $42 to get the tickets and I made $56.  Which covered the Megabucks ticket I lost on and $4 profit.  I know that the jackpot was probably won so I am a winner even though I am not the big winner.-weshar75 

Well I did not hit the Megabucks tonight I had 10 lines and the most I had was 2+0 on 3 lines.  The MB rolled over to $4.4 million so I may try on monday night I have not given it much thought.-weshar75 

I am only revealing my PB RB #'s and no WB #'s.  So you can get at least $3 or with powerplay up to $15.  So here they are in order:5-7-10-13-16-17-19-22-29-31-34-36-38-41-42.  That is the PB RB #'s in play for tonight's $365 million annuity jackpot.  I hope that one of them pops up and about 5 WB's.-weshar75 

Well I went to Centers Market to try 2-$5 Stacks of Cash both were duds so I went to Mcminnville for a big gulp and a 1/4 lb big bite with nacho cheese on it.  I had $2 left over so I got a $1 powerball with powerplay for $2.  Then I got some gas and came home to wait for my numbers to pop up.-weshar75
