I don't know what to do with this huge amount of prize if I win the jackpot prize. I'm pretty sure a lot of lottery players are aiming to hit this huge jackpot prize $245 million. Winning in powerball is really difficult but once you hit the jackpot it's worth it

I was a kid shooting a TV Show or Movie on a beach in NJ right near NY you could see everything from the beach. The directors or Producers husbent was going to be in the World Trade Center that day. It was crazy they kept all the kids away from the TV. Will never forget that day.

By the way seems people here think they will take more taxes then they will. 25% Fed right away. State taxes even the most NJ is was 11% close to that. How much more do they take?

Anyway the person in PA who said

If I'd played in between numbers from my quikpick things would be lining up with the drawn numbers. I first played Classic Lotto with the intent to stay in it until the next jackpot was hit. It took about a year and I won nothing significant. I sure was glad to move onto other games. I may still keep playing until next jackpot but my heart isn't in it 100%.

Smiling may be be hard especially if someone has had too much Botox.

Everyone who wins the lottery should wear a permanent smile on their faces.

This last drawing was #275 in the roll. It started in 2011, on the day I had alcohol poisoning

Believe it or not, there is only about a 81% chance of a winner having appeared in prior (null) or next drawing.

I was wonderin' that my ownself.

I think you're pretty much in a county wherever you go.

Maybe he goes to Looziana and gets 'em in a parish.

I'll be good for at least five Classic tickets, already got the two PB, and make the four-mile drive into Michigan for a Classic 47 ducat. Good luck, RJ...

Comment #37

RJOh — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 03:20:57 GMT

You won't have to look back very far to see all the winning numbers since all 49 have hit in the last 24 drawings. I may pick up a PB ticket since it's 9/11 but I'm putting most of my money on Classic Lotto too.

Sure, got a couple PB tickets, but really eyeing 45.8 mil Ohio Classic Lotto and the better odds.

Comment #34

rcbbuckeye — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 15:25:05 GMT

175,223,510 combos, and the odds are 1 in 175,223,510.

What's wrong with buying their tickets in the county

Goteki54 — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:17:02 GMT

I'll buy my ticket tommorow. Some of my idiot co workers said that they were going to buy their tickets in the county. I just rolled my eyes and sighed.

Goteki54 — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:14:44 GMT

There are 195 million combinations in Powerball, and the odds are 1 in 175 million

Just to confirm--the Powerball odds are based on the number of possible combinations, right

Right

A muslim taxi driver gave a ride to myself and 3 other women as we were trying to get out of DC on 9-11 (just after the Pentagon was hit). It was the absolute last taxi that I saw stop for anyone that day.

veganlife125 — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 23:20:37 GMT

That was quick on your feet Jill. However, what if the winner turns out to be a muslim? Brian Williams would have a lead story when they came forward.

Comment #21

RJOh — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 23:08:56 GMT

It would be even more ironic if I won it since I seldom play since the tickets prices went up to $2.

Is- Us, same thing.

Apparently l did not leave it at that.

Artist77 — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 21:56:59 GMT

I think it would be great and it would bring a smile to many people. Never forget (but feel free to forget the poster who said you had to go there How bizarre. I got a strange ranting pm from him when I mentioned the DC sniper one time).

Let's aim for a win for NY or DC/VA or Pennsylvania.

maringoman — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 20:14:53 GMT

With the new healthcare laws taking effect in 2014 and with it, ^^higher taxes^^, I am hoping I win something before 2013 is over. 13 is my fav number so I think I deserve to win something. Something BIG.

golfer1960 — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 16:05:18 GMT

Hi Jill, nice to see you again. Let's see $70M is nice but still lots of money. After buying a few big ticket items and setting up an income stream not sure how I'd spend it. Could you help me out with that

Comment #11

easygoing123go — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:45:46 GMT

Does anyone think it will roll to $280 Million by Wednesday..

Comment #10

Jill34786 — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:21:09 GMT

Hey golfer! If you're the lucky sole winner, a net amount of $70 million after all Federal and state tax obligations are satisfied should be a little bit easier to handle Good luck to you

I was actually in Manhattan doing an internship during that time so yes it was extremely sad. I lost many friends on that day.

Wouldn't it be ironic if someone from New York won this on 9-11

$245 MILLION: Powerball jackpot up for grabs

Lottery Post — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 13:48:28 GMT

By Todd Northrop

There was no jackpot winner in the Saturday night drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery game, causing the grand prize to increase to an estimated $245 million for Wednesday's drawing.

Saturday was the 9th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner. The jackpot run started August 10 as a $40 million jackpot.

The estimated cash value for the new jackpot is $136.3 million. After-tax cash and annuity prize amounts are reported state-by-state on the Jackpot Analysis... [ More ]
