Haha, yeah I was sitting in my boxers at home on saturday night...was too lazy to go out and buy the ticekts so I figured I might as well wait and sure enough the JP rolled over.

My group is very informal, we 3 guys have been friends for almost 10 years now. Basically it's more of a mutual understanding....and actually I WANT to share the money with my 2 best friends...they would do anything for me and besides with this much money I can't use it all on myself anyway...better to enjoy the mon...

Negligence huh? Hope you got your tickets this time round. Btw- do you belong to a pool that forbids you to buy a few tickets on the side

You got it Max- let that tsunami fever wash all over you. Better figure out before the jackpot rolls what that 50c adds up too..

All the best for you and your pool buddies.

fever has hit my little group as well. We usually go in 2-3 tickets per play when the PB is over 200mil. I neglected to buy for my group on the hunch that the jackpot will roll over and bam I was right.

I'll be getting a couple tickets for each of our 3-man lotto group for this upcoming PB drawing.

The fever has hit. I am not purchasing more tickets, but I am more actively involved in 'planning'. So i LOVE the fever. Much more pep in the step!

And the office has also hit the fever. Today I had 2 different peeps come by my door and ask if I wanted to be part of a pool. I figure - why not - it cost me .50$ for one pool and 6$ for the other (still cant figure out how 50 cents gets me into the pool... but ok)

So... I suppose that actually means that I am purchasing more tickets. But the... [ More ]

One line my own numbers and the second is always a quick pick! The two extra this Wednesday will be a quick pick too.

Hi Nydebbie,

Do you buy Quick Pics or play your own numbers

I get excited when the Powerball reaches at least 100 million (though even at 40 Million I still play). The difference when the jackpot gets very high is I will buy 2 tickets with Powerplay instead on just buying 1 ticket.

Ok Raven, whatever you say: you do know that it's okay to forego that vaccine let it all hang out? This is one of those times. .

I first noticed that I had contracted at least a mild case when I found myself debating whether to get one or two tickets for the next drawing. (Going with one, though if no one wins, I may spend big - four dollars! - on Saturday.) Other symptoms I've noticed: lurking more on LP; reading about the country's more recently erected residential skyscrapers (mostly out of curiosity, as even in the one-in-175-million-odd chance that I win, I'm not likely to move into one); and considering which organi...

I played PB on Jan 3, then decided I was done with it. But for the last couple draws I jumped back in. When it's won, I'm out again. I buy work pools tics also.

I'm in every other jackpot game in Tx without fail.

Fever? Naw. Just the usual. I play every draw for MM, PB, and TxLotto. Mix of picks and quick picks.

Almost lottery fatigue actually. We have an office lottery pool that plays when the cash option hits $100m. It's not a big pool, just 3 tickets per player, but we dropped PB from $6 to $4 for only 2 tickets per person. We've been playing twice a week since the new year. First MM, then right into PB. Nobody here is rich, but nobody wants to be left out when the pool hits.

All this... [ More ]

Have you contracted Powerball Lottery fever yet?

Well, no...but I did have rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu back in the early 70's, so hopefully I'm immune.

Nope, try to stay away from the 'fever'.

I don't really see any sense in fantasizing about spending money you haven't won yet, and if you do win it you'll be 'shell shocked' and a lot of those fantasies will change.

Fever has hit. Broke my promise to not play powerball and bought a ticket today! Flying solo here.

For Entertainment Purposes Only:

If you have- when did you feel that it hit you?

Personally: l am excited, but l have not contracted the fever yet. That is not to say it cannot hit me without notice.

Are you flying solo or are you in a Pool? If you had to take the Pulse of the Pool members, it would be....
