I agree in that I would hate the publicity and prefer to live under the wire. But I always love the excitement of a large jackpot and the thought of all the good you could do with the money. I definitely dont plan on taking it with me and would give most of it away.

How do you figure an expanded matrix decreases the odds

There also is less attention on those that win lower amounts. Remember the guy from Illinois that won $50 mil PB JP a few years ago that bought a Dodge Charger as his first purchase? Ok, well, I do, but most don't, it wasn't a big news headline. Or the guy from Seattle that won ~$20 mil. MM JP earlier this year? Yeah, me either. Will you remember the person detailed in the story earlier on USA Mega that won ~$50 mil. MM JP? That single mom in Detroit that won ~45 Mil. MM JP and first bought a Fo... [ More ]

Sure it would. I'm not sure what your situation is as far as taxes or anything like that or where you live but yes it would and it depends on the principal and the interest that's what the problems

The amount the jackpot for the powerball climbs to doesn't mean much to me. The $40 million minimum would last me a lifetime.

Hey Groppo,

I've been where I didn't have any money either. I've been playing for over 30 years, and the best I ever did was 5 of 6 in Ohio Lotto. Won about $900.

You have to realize that the odds of winning these games are extremely low. You should hope to win, but never expect to win. The best thing to do is buy one ticket to be in the draw. I've learned that cost control playing the lottery is paramount. To spend tons of money is not worth it, you will lose more than you win.

Great news for me: I got all 5 white ball numbers matched. Bad news: they were spread out amongst 3 QP's I bought, with no more than 2 matches on 1 line.

It was kinda exciting, nonetheless.

Someone from Tennessee won a $420.9 million dollar Powerball Jackpot and this jackpot is the third time in the year 2016 that there's at least one Powerball Jackpot winning ticket that is a California Super Lotto Plus pick. What do you think about my comment

Now wouldn't it be something if this jackpot was won by the Robinson's....once again

I read that he winning jackpot was $420.9 million bucks. I guess they threw in a Christmas bonus.

LiveInGreenBay — Sun, 27 Nov 2016 12:54:35 GMT

I bought one ticket expecting not to win anything, so I guess I'm not too disappointed. Still would have been nice to win something though. LOL

Do not fret! The jackpot will be back to over a $100 million by Christmas.

Sorry folks, but I am really sorry that, again, it's not me.

I really hate this situation I'm in, with almost no money.

Most of you can 'laugh-off' the 'loss' (when you don't win anything),

but I'm doggone worse than that.

I never pretend to be happy. I never give fake smiles to ANYONE, unless I can win something like a significant lotto amount.

I didn't get my tickets in TN.

And, I'm not going to have a nice house, now. I really, REALLY HATE this.

I might have an idea what numbers might come out. It might be 2 40's and 2 60's. There was a pattern sequence in the month date and year if you add the numbers and subtract them and something else if I do the adding and subtracting correctly. Look at last night's Mega Millions drawings

Piece of pie That made me immediately think of this...and I hope it won't be an ear worm and stay stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

If I win the lottery, though, I'm gonna sing it every morning when I wake up.

Please remember John Lisa Robinson from Munford, Tennessee. The one-third winner of the $1.6 billion PB jackpot. Both of them dreamed of winning a small piece of the pie and look what happened to them. A huge piece of the pie was their reward.

LiveinGreenBay and Unluckyone: DO NOT THINK THAT WAY. Every one of the winners, never thought they stood a chance to win and BINGO, THEY WON. You are right, gotta have a ticket to be in it to win.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERY ONE WHO BUYS A TICKET, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF US ON LOTTERY POST.

Think a wonderful Christmas gift.

I will go out only to get my PB tickets. $403 million is a humongous amount to win as it is. With each draw it gets more exciting as our hope grows. I agree with Todd, someone is going to have a truly WONDERFUL holiday season, I sure wouldnt mind being that person or one of...

And if it rolls Saturday, $465 MILLION....... Holy Moly, well I would like the chance to prove I would do good with it.

Sincere Good Wishes to All.

California is long overdue, l can sense this jackpot coming to a boil.

***On a side note: stepped on the scale this morning and actually dropped weight after eating a good portion of the bird yesterday. This could be a sign, a good sign. What's that old saying You win by losing.

Interesting that the largest jackpots had to be split 2 or 3 ways while with some of the smaller ones, the single winner took home more.

$403 MILLION: Powerball jackpot to guarantee a happy holidays for lucky winner

Lottery Post — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 14:07:10 GMT

By Todd Northrop

While you're out Black Friday shopping, don't forget to pick up some Powerball tickets.

For the fourth time this year, the multi-state Powerball lottery game's jackpot has crossed over the $400 million mark, and entered into the realm of wealth so vast that it's hard to imagine.

After nobody won Wednesday's $374.1 million grand prize, the Powerball jackpot increased to a whopping $403 million for Saturday's drawing the 13th-largest US lottery jackpot of all time.
