I went to PA to buy two sets of the PB/PP - a pardner thing for a friend at work and myself. Maybe the friendship thing will be atleast lukewarm tonight! I don't think it is that great a deal, however, I do think $200M is a great thing.

The million dollar winners are starting to pile up for powerball and I would not mind being one on saturday. Congrats to the friends that won and I bet they are glad they paid for the powerplay option on their ticket.

Thats the story of luck. Two people glad they spent the extra dollar. Thousands wishing they had not spent the either dollar. If I had set fire to each dollar I spent on PB last week, I would be no worse off than I am now. Hoping the new dollars for Saturday will have a better result.

Of Tennessee Powerball winners, the friends rank second only to the Hubbard family of South Pittsburg, who won a $25.5 million jackpot in March.Janis Goodwin of N... [ More ]
