The prize is getting better and better. More and more players will definitely purchase their tickets to have a chance to win this jackpot prize. For a change I will purchase Power Play, I hope my winnings will increased by 2x.

Hey Fellas-what happened to all the posts, that were made today, August 05, 2013?. They all seem to have been deleted, vanished, in limbo or suspended animation. I accidentally saw a post, earlier in the day, by an angry poster, questioning why they have not deleted the posts. Now, mine are all gone. COMPLETELY BIZZARE!!!. CENSORSHIP BY BIG SISTER? HMMM!!!?.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!! In merely 3 posts, you have managed to open up the dark corners of your soul, for all to see. LAMBASTING the whole site is rather unwise. Its very clear, that you are not open to other peoples' opinion. What your employees mutter under their breath, when you walk by, the people on this site will gladly tell you face to face. Take a second, and look in the mirror, and you will be shocked to find that you were actually describing yourself in that post. Your employees ,... [ More ]

Management are certainly expanding the menu's to include health conscious people. No matter where we go straight salad with mustard and unsweet tea is available haha! The black bean burger sounds great! I was just firing up the grill you want me to put on an extra boca soy burger topped with mushrooms, green peppers, hot peppers, and onions? Boiling some red potatoes to go with it( got to avoid that oil in the fries lol). Good luck on the 400+ as well!

BTW, just estimating the tickets sold based on previous run up to these levels + the increase in the JP value from where it began, I estimated about 54 million tickets sold and 77% chance of rolling

mypiemaster — Sun, 04 Aug 2013 04:23:26 GMT

Now that's really silly, running a business with a closed mind. Think outside the box, and join the pool, unless they forbid you to join, because you are such a terrible boss. I bet they still had the pool outside of work. I CAN TELL YOU ONLY USE FLOWERED SCENTED TOILET PAPER. While at it, go find yourself some meat, or get off that vegan diet because its turning you into a monster.PEACE.

haha you're right about being told what to do. It must feel like jail working for a person who forbids non distractive activity that brings employees together. Last year when we used to have a lottery pool at my work place and 14 of the 16 employees participated, my boss decided to join us because he knew he would have migraines training a new crew if we won. We didn't mind him joining us. Smart guy.

Sounds like they don't need to win a lottery to have good reason to up and quit without notice, being told what they can and can't do when it comes to the lotteries is reason enough.

Comment #57

miracleplay5 — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 19:48:29 GMT

My employees are not allowed to have an office pool, because I cant afford to lose all my staff at once if they win$300 million dollars is more than enough for a small staff to up and quit without notice.

pay less to win the most..Peace

It doesn't matter if you have a signed agreement. If you win the lottery all they have to do is litigate and you wont collect the money until a judge says you can, and the decision will depend on which judge you get.

Ronnie316 — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 16:11:18 GMT

Why do you sent a picture of only one ticket?

A picture of the group ticket will be sent via text or email to each ticket owner after it is purchased. This is the only ticket the group and each ticket owners own together. It is understood that several ticket holders play the lottery outside of the group and only the winnings of the group ticket are the shared winnings.

Comment #34

Ronnie316 — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 14:52:34 GMT

Yeah, how is that possible? Does it even qualify as a pool with only one ticket? I'm thinking the pool will want to share the winning ticket even if its one of his personal tickets.

Comment #33

RJOh — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 14:41:24 GMT

Sounds like you have more personal tickets than the office pool. I would expect an office pool to have more than just a ticket.

Comment #32

PrisonerSix — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 13:55:52 GMT

Same here, since I run the office pool. Our pool has 4 lines for this jackpot and hope one is the winner, or at least wins something. On almost every 2 week round of our pool, playing Powerball, MegaMillions, and Louisiana Lotto, we always seem to win a lower tier prize, so I have hope we will hit the big one sooner or later.

I also have my own tickets just to hedge my bets.

Comment #31

Anfang71 — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 12:46:51 GMT

Yes feels kinda good being able to participate in the bigger JP's. My brother got 10 lines so far and say he will get a few more. Hope one line is the JP winner

Good luck to everyone who is playing

A When the new powerball record was hit the prize amounts are pretty close to where they were then after 11 rollovers. Annuity is at 300 mill opposed to 270 mill then but the cash value then was 176 mill so its a little lower then that now but not by much. Last time it rolled to 364 annuity and 232 cash befor it rolled once more to the 591 annuity and 371 cash prize that was won. If it rolls Sat then it should go up to probably high 300s annuity and around 230 cash. What may boost this one a bit... [ More ]

balyanango — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 03:36:14 GMT

Yes, you ought to expect that most players play numbers between 1 and 31 i.e. those are the numbers between all the months. I too am playing mine tomorrow. Here in Flagstaff, I have never seen any line beyond 5-10 people, maybe because Arizona was one of those states that had much earlier embraced the Powerball regime and in addition, there are many lotto retailers in one small area. Regardless, I will make sure I play the game before my afternoon work shift.

weshar75 — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 02:19:30 GMT

I bought my ticket today at albertsons here in mcminnville and I was so pissed when I saw my numbers they were two lines and both lines were full of numbers below 30. So I grit my teeth and said well maybe I can hit the powerball and get a $12 winner since I powerplayed the ticket of two lines. Good luck to all who play tomorrow.-weshar75

Well I agree with Thrifty about setting limits, but he lost me when he thought buying a house was not a good idea.

But I was still thrifty and I had two hot lotto tickets with the HB number and one with the HB number plus one number....so I bought one more PB ticket.

Yes, it has become one of those weekend when players at their work places start hastily organizing lottery pools without a plan other than to get everybody money and buy a bunch of quick picks.

If they are lucky they won't win anything, other wise there be a lot of co-workers pissed off at each other.
