Yahoo!Good luck to all LP members.  It was so good that so many people won money with last night's drawing too.  Yep.  This Saturday will be the night.

*I hope it's me*

*I hope it's me*

Me too!

Sorry,

I've already purchased the winning tickets.

You can go ahead and buy some if you want to, but it will just contribute to my wealth !!!

DD

I bought the winner today at 10:00 a.m. at "Centers Market" in Willamina, Oregon.  Didn't you guys know that or did I forget to tell you!-weshar75

No reason there can't be three ticket JACKPOT winners.

 I beleive in sharing such a jackpot with,

Me

Myself

and

I

So as DoubleDown said, keep contributing :)

Well that post did not look exactly right.  Anyway, hope the message is understood.

I'll wait until it hits 365 myself.

Sorry but I plan on coming out of the woodwork and swiping this one this time. I been saving up for this for months, I knew this would happen again after not too long. Here we go again with "powerball fever." I hope it breaks with a jackpot win.

What would $120.1M cash look like?

(Bold numbers are recalculated proportionally (also, $1:$100) from Powerball Press Release dated May 25, 2005

http://www.powerball.com/content/pressreleases/show_release.asp?release_id=2131)
 

Good luck to all members!

Doesn't matter:

No one is going to see $120 Million in CASH.

That would be the estimated cash option before taxes.....

so, after Federal and state( if applicable) taxes , more like $80 million or so...

I already know how to measure $80 Million :

It would fit into my bank account(s) very nicely !!   

Good Luck,

 DD

Ya' think it will get that big.  I think this weekend is the winner.  It will be a shared jackpot, I think.  Maybe three winners this time.  But hey, just a million would be nice!I have the fever again.  I am playing in this one and when ever I get feverish, I spend $20.00 plus dollars and know I have contributed to a jackpost for somebody else.  But funny thing this time, "I think I am going to win something this time...  " Famous last words   Nevertheless, Good luck all.  We will have a nice jackpot to share! Tee hee!

Good luck to all LP members entering this challenge. The reason I must enter the PB challenge because I finished a close 3rd place in the 2005 MM and PB predictions thread with 10 3+0 times.

I have a gut feeling it would be a shared jackpot.

Divided by 4=$20million or so!  At least the winners will include 2 LP members

That $250 million prize is coming home to Oregon as a one winning ticket.  That is WILLAMINA, OREGON!  CENTERS MARKET-WESHAR75's TICKET!  Now can you dig that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY...you are just pleasantly 'greedy'.....but suppose it's grabbed before then?????? 

HAPPY FRIDAY.."DD".....

Now wait just a minute..there....how could you do that without including me in the "kitty"......?????

Hey...don't forget, we're 'buddies'.......now see, if you win I will have to take you to Court, swearing that 'we always' (that's the operative term) play as 'collective bodies in the pool'......lolooololololool

HAPPY FRIDAY....2/10/2006

stopppp...tell the truth...the last time you listened to your 'gut' was at Lunch this afternoon.........

Tut, tut, tut.  Now you know that their is honor among LP members.  Contract or no contract, right? Tee heeee hah! .  Now we have read and commented on too many stories about the squabbles, etc.  SO........we are just gonna keep our big win a secret!  LOL!

Happy Friday libra!

What has been going on? Are you making plans to cut me in on your $250 million win this weekend?

Hey ya'all I made a 95 on my biology test today(by shear luck) I think it's my turn to win. Hey who know I may be generous with my family, all I know is I will not have to worry about that history test on Monday!!!!

it would be nice to win that jackpot if u hear of a jackpot winner in clinton indiana it might be me. good luck everyone

Count me in!!!

This post and it' contributing members comments are delighting. Its good to see so many ambitious (sp?) players! I hope it IS a LP member that claims the winning ticket for the jackpot. May we each reap some rewards from the jackpot this time!

You're going to have to wait at least 2 months or so in that case. I'm calling for 3 more rolls to 387 before I take it with a single ticket. That will be just enough to reclaim the US record from Megamillions.

I'd hold out for 437, but the chances of 5 rolls are only about 1%, and that's just too improbable.

Shhhhhh !!!!!   

Don't tell anyone. 

 Tonight will be a big night !!!!!!   

You're all wrong.  I will be purchasing the winning ticket later today.  And as it does not come out of my jackpot I hope you all get 5 mumbers.

Jim

HAPPY SATURDAY.."MY"....2/11/06

LOLOLOLOL.....oh yeah,  "Now you know that their is honor among LP members"

.... especially when you spelled it 'their is honor'      instead of 'there is honor'......

oh yeah....LOLOLOOLO.....hey don't forget, we have to plan the "BIG PARTY" for all the LP members around all that......$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.....and I don't expect to see DOMINOS anywhere...

HAPPY SATURDAY...."GG"

HEY....At least  'you, and yourself,'......cannot complain that you were never generous or did not tell "'me, myself, and I "  about the BIG WIN............

2/11/2006

"DD".......you are always one of a few very select group on here, that keeps a smile on my face. Seriously....a BIG w/popcorn of course....and right now that smile has turned to

lololololol.....ok now....that said.....what did you say your Bank Account Number was ????loololololo

HAPPY FRIDAY & SATURDAY TO YOU..."CPS"....2/11/06

Hey, buddy....I haven't even started.  1st.....I need to convince myself to part, I mean 'let go of' $5.00...lolololol........then, I need to analyze my various number series to determine which series to use.....lolololo.....then....as I live here in MD...just one of the '13 original colonies of course. .where it just happens to be raining and sleeting or something outside..not sure which...I have to convince myself to drive myself, to the District of Columbia border to play.......

That said..I bet you are farther along in playng than I am, and I NEED THE $$$$$$$$...really I do.,

....and how are you "CPS"???????....I don't feel very inspired right now....even though I too believe that this evening someone will pull all '6 numbers'..

(btw).....I viewed the complete number series for the last 3 weeks for the PB, and I must tell you I would never have chosen any of those 'series' lolololol...guess what, apparently I have a lot of company because nobody else did either, which is why the JACKPOT IS $$$$$250,000000000

HAPPY SATURDAY LIBRA!

I know what you mean being in one of the original 11 here in NC...I have to drive over the border to my favorite lottery stop before hitting my favorite watering hole back on my side where it is also raining, sleeting or whatever.

I know a place where the lines are tiny and therefore my lotto club's 100 tickets will be easy to purchase. However, like you said, "SOMEONE" will hit tonight I am sure. I just hope it's me :)

I thought that those series were terrible as well. So bad, in fact, that our club won nothing the past couple of draws, which is unusual.

And........I am doing well, thank you :) Just testing a new Pick-4 that I've been developing. So far so good :)

Hi Libra926, 

My posts are so pitiful.  Typoes, you name it.  I actually type 160wpm on a keyboard and I never took a typing or keyboarding class a day in my life.  Learned on my own.  Then the worst part of it all is I was 3 hours away from an English Major in college.  There is a modern thing called spell check which I should use, but don't.  Grammar is horrific and I shudder when I hit 'send'.  Oftentimes, I don't think about the correct word until I have typed it.  The only keys I know are home row---I think that is what typists call it.  When I read your posts, I just laughed and laughed.  You made my day! 

I haven't been a part of this community very long and I agree, DoubleDown's posts are enlightening.  Of course, he is going to keep our joint account very, very, secret.  So, don't worry, only a select few will share in that win.  It is going to be a win this weekend, I think.  I have spent $24.00!  More than my usual $20 when the jackpot gets big.  That is a sure sign (has been in the past) that the winner(s) will be drawn.  I hope a Katrina survivor wins, too.  That was a mean 'lil cuss of a gal!  She cleaned houses and lives!  Most of my family and friends are starting over from scratch. I don't mind sharing the jackpot with a fellow survivor.

Whew!  Waited 'til the last minute to splurge my contribution this morning.  So, let's wait for the big P-A-R-T-Y

100 TICKETS......?????......you neeeeeedddd to win....

Do you prefer "qp".....(quick pick)...???....In MD...."qp" is a joke, and not very funny

I prefer to make up my own series.....starting w/the #5, or 2 or 6, or 1, or 7, or 4...however I think I must be using very conservative numbers, and I try to invent series beginning w/10 or 20, 24,33, or 19, something unusual because this seems to be a trend sometimes.  Strange numbers....lolololololol

In the District...."qp" is usually also a joke....most people create their own series....We are not like Indiana, Pennsylvania, Missouri....ect.....I tried "qp" in the past and was very disappointed..... 

"MY".....no, no, your Postings are not 'pitiful'.......no, not at all, I always understand what you mean and look forward to communicating w/you...I wish I could afford to spend as much as you do on these tickets.....w/gas prices a $2.39-$2.47, and that's just for regular unleaded mind you...

I need at least half a Tank of gas...lolololol....you can only spend $10.00 one time....and mostly I end up spening $15.00 to buy gas...... yet I keep thinking that if I tried to play more often, maybe I'd "hit the 'BIG ONE' and then I wouldn't have to budget for gas, food, car insurance....I know we all do,  but the 'cost of living' is different in each State.....I couldn't afford to live in NY.......

Your generosity is wonderful....I too have been giving money and clothing donations for the Victims of Katrina, as well as the Homeless here in MD....I'm sorry about your Friends and Family, really I am.....starting over w/little to nothing is very hard, and I wish them the best of everything....from reading the postings on here, I can see, I am in great company because we all need to win 'BIG'.....even if it's only $100,000,...we each have a lifestyle to protect ......lolololol

Libra

We have a pre-determined set of numbers that we've been playing for years. Now, if the jackpots get higher, then we will add 50 to 100 tickets to the pool and those will all be qp, but the original 100 are numbers we've played regularly since we've began the pool in 1997.

Hey cps10,

Lost you the other day when we were talking about your "idea" to make millions marketing something to the Powerball people.  So, you are going to win tonight's Powerball drawing, huh?  That wouldn't be fair... you are going to make millions off the Powerball folks with your marketing idea!

What part of Carolina do you live?  I used to live in the Fayetteville area back in the 80s.  My Dad was US Army at Ft. Bragg. 

Brett

I can appreciate your system..and the 'collective body' you belong to, there's only one thing I don't really understand.....w/the purchase of sooooo many tickets, and playing for the last 8 or 9 years, using your system, why has the 'collective body' never won the ULTIMATE PRIZE????

I mean, you guys have made quite an investment, if I may call it that, over a long stretch of time...I've never understood, how some people play once n'awhile, and win BIG....while others play consistently, and are still reaching for that 'gold ring'....... 

Libra

Well, let's see....200 tickets a week x 52 weeks = 10400 tickets/yr

We've been playing almost 9 yrs = approx 93600 tickets total give or take a couple thousand.

Now, 93600/146 million = 1/15000 I think...LOL

Now, we have won $100 many times, and even as much as 1,000 in one draw, but thats about it.

Odds are still way ahead of us. But we keep fighting for another day! :)

WW - yeah, that would be unfair, but PB hasn't gotten back to me on the marketing idea...waiting to hear from them :)

WW - I forgot to say...I am in the Queen City, Charlotte :)
