Based on my personal experience, I agree mostly with Chewie.

One of the main reasons why I usually like UK lottery, including Euro Millions and UK lotto 649, is that prize amounts and odds are well balanced amongst various prize-tiers, from the jackpot to the lowest...though that doesn't mean I am not going for $250 million Powerball tonight.

I've won something each time I have played with PTS, and use the money to buy the next set of tickets. Of course won doesn't always mean a profit. Although this time I made a good profit. The bad news is, it is the only game I'm hitting anothing in. Three of a kind in MM, PB, or Cash5 is starting to be a huge goal

Just curious, gc :

How much did your tickets cost you for the $12.50 win ?

Was that gross or net winnings ?

Powerball, an association of 30 state lotteries including Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, has a $180 million jackpot this week. U.S. lotteries are usually paid over a 20-year to 30- year period, or a winner can get cash immediately for only half the prize.

More errors from the press. I wonder if newspapers had anything right in the history of man.

Now PowerBall with its $210M jackpot is the main draw and you still can buy your tickets at PTS. If the weather doesn't clear up, I might buy my tickets at PTS rather than drive to Indiana to buy tickets.

With a one hundred eighty million dollar target, taxes is no obstacle. What is the difference, giving it to the crooks in Washington, or the crooks in the Red Cross. Neither use the money for its intended purpose.
