Naw I think you're on the edge of it, looks like the center is coming right through here,

we're not fully cleaned up from that crazy storm we had in the middle of summer.

We might see some heavy gusting, shouldn't receive much rain either.

Didn't realize you still had cleanup from the last storm!

Free tics on Black Friday would probably give PB some additional interest.

To jump-start sales and additional interest, what if Powerball offered one day a month of free tickets?

To keep it at an organized chaos, it would be the first Tuesday of every month, between the hours of 6-8:00 PM EST. Limit 5 lines per customer.

Would this be an incentive for people who rarely play PB to play more often?

Would this result in player brawls throughout the country?

Would this simply be a waste of time, because only the greedy non-players would take advantage of this promo?

Well trying to keep with the original post ................I'd have to ask...How would the jackpot grow.... wouldn't most just wait til that Tues.? Then where would the money come from for the inital jackpot and would it be starting at 40 million? I mean most would be like why buy and I have the same chances of winning for free?

Thanks hay,

Was it you who told me that an LP member wished for your death by means of car accident?? I thought about you the other day when a beloved LP member wished for me to be run over by a car... lol. lol. lol.

I made it to the club.........

Yea, you got a good memory, don't understand why someone would do that to someone they never met.

he's prolly now laughing at how jersey is gonna get wacked by hurricane sandy, not likley to effect his area (MA.)

the club is the place to be !

not sure who wished you bad, have to go back and look for that .

most things are done, but you can still see damage in places where it did'nt need to be fixed right away.

Bad idea.

Free tickets would bring out swarms of the kind of people I can't stand.

Cheapskates.

Did it turn out to be the "super storm" some people were predicting as hot and cold storms collided?
