I got my one line quick pick. Went to USA mega on the left of the screen to see if the numbers hit anything. Looks like I am in for some jackpot money tonight.

In the Powerball drawing history, your numbers have won the following prizes:

I feel petty for Mega Millions jackpot. It should get some discussion.

Oh well, no matter people talking about MM or not, I wil buy my ticket for this Friday draw and wait in the dark.

Jimhowlett — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:20:29 GMT

Why is nobody talking about MegaMillions? It seems that only PB gets all the updates when the JP increases. MM is up there, and the cash option is actually slightly behind PB, despite the annuity total being 40M behind.

I just spent an extra $1 and the lady two players behind me was playing the whatever that is that is big .

I know she deserves it just as much as I do, but I been trying since 1976 to win a jackpot and I kinda know what I am playing.

I agree with the song that says if 10% is good enough for Jesus - then 10% is good enough for Uncle Sam !!!!!

If $43,000,000 in taxes isn't good enough for MSNBC's Lord and Savior - then they can all pound salt !!!!!

I would just be grateful for the bles... [ More ]

MOST OF ALL, EVERYONE HAS TO UNDERSTAND IT ONLY TAKES A. 1 DOLLAR. EITHER YOU WILL OR WILL NOT. EVERYONE TAKE YOU'RE TICKET(s), PUT YOU'RE INFO ON THE BACK OF IT, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD DUE WITH 250 MILLION DOLLARS, AND BEST OF LUCK.,.,.,.,..

P.S. DON'T FORGET TO PAY YOU'RE TITHES.....

SHARING IS CARING!!!!

When the Powerball gets this high......I don't mind sharing with 5 other ticket holders!!! That's a lot of money to go to one or two person(s)/state.

Folks only need a million or two to sang that song....if they wanna. Ya'll know the song, Take this job .....

and give it to someone else .

That would cut down on a lot of that foolish spending.......who am I kidding!

Good luck to all that are in it to win it !

I was just reading up on David Edwards. I remember watching a show with him on it, living the good life, spending money left and right. I didnt know he lost it all.

You have to be a real idiot to go through 29 million dollars in 4 years.

David Edwards was going the wrong way before he won the lottery.

You can buy alot of expensive things if you set limits for yourself !

I am disabled and I have been planning for a number of years !

I am now facing possible cancer and could use some good news

GamerMom — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:16:23 GMT

I have a sneaking suspicion someone is going to hit it tomorrow. Just hope they know how to handle it and not end up another David Edwards

i will be livid if the winner goes..oh this was my first time playing the lottery
