$600 MILLION: Biggest Powerball jackpot ever

Was going to stay with two tickets, then had time to kill while son had bass guitar lesson.

Oh look, there's a convenience store close enough to walk to.

Now I have three. Maybe that's the one.

good thinking

Along with my usual 1 ticket I bought 4 more, all with PowerPlay. If it bumps again I may get 1 more. Good Luck to all Lottery Post fans !!

I bought 26 lines!

I was at regular place I buy my tickets and lady said, at 10:00 AM EST, she had sold over $1800.00 already this morning I thought for it would be increase at Noon today to $650, or at Six maybe nothing... I guessing it will around $680 when we finish tonight, I got by winning ticket,, Hoping for the best......:)

just like other MM/PB half billion  plus records

it be more more amount they said come draw time

they just not brothering to update it today"must of lottery staff off sat

lottery ceo's in charge of pb had phone call, said it be close , massive sells  like this, they can't  do a spot on number...................

so they are waitin

when in a few hours  anyway they just know final numbers and tell us at draw video

not like sells going to be effected much past 600 marketed, everyone buying

i think we beat old pb cash record for sure

doubt MM monster will ever be beat

onless this rolls against all odds  and becomes first billion jackpot

 our thro away money  lottery budgets will be broken if that happens.............

i just got about 10 bucks worth,  same as if i got me  large pizzahut meat lovers pizza , my fav  i live without tonite 

if it rolls, "mr.  please play responsibly" is going to be kicked off top of  lottery building spartan-style by powerball on a madness power trip of billion dollars

mr.  please play responsibly:  don't spend money u can use for other useful stuff

powerball: u insult my jackpot.   u threaten my people with low jackpots

mr.  please play responsibly:  this is madness!

"powerball looks over to sign that reads 975 million dollars, it updates to 1 billion dollars right then , powerball looks back"

powerball: this is billion dollars! "kicks"

This has got to be higher than $600,000,000.00 by now, every store I went into today had a line.  It's never like that.

 Oh my, you have more guts than most! Nah hold it, someone at the store ahead of me shelledout $400, to the annoyance of everyone waiting behind them.... 200 lines!.  10 lines per ticket! Heck, both cashiers had to take turns printing all of them out.

 It was different in my part of town. The lines were minimal. I am assuming that most tickets were bought between Thursday and yesterday.....****shrugs***

That's strange, the opposite has been true in my experience. Most QPs I get give me a set where there is no number larger than 31. On plays where I pick the numbers, I make sure I have at least one number greater than 31.

Woohoo. In that case, let's hope it did that to all (if not most) the QP's this time and that a lot of the numbers hit over 31. My QP's are always all over the place, I've never noticed a pattern either way.

I'd really really love to win something over 3 digits tonight, but I also really really REALLY want to see what it'll hit if it rolls over to Wednesday. 

Poor MM. I don't think anyone will be buying MM tickets until this PB goes. People spent so much money on PB it'll take a while for both JPs to build up again if it goes between tonight and Wednesday.

Zero chance it rolls again but the final tally will certainly be over the 600M advertised.

zero chance of roll over, what about if the winning numbers are WB. 1-2-3-4-5 and PB - 1

Then there might be 1,000 jackpot winners since such numbers are common. Each one would collect 600 thousands while the 2nd prize winners would collect guaranteed 1 millions except in CA where we have pari-mutuel.

Riot would break out!
