The site boast 171,781 members. If we all put in $1,701.00 we could buy it out. Just joking but it would

be easy with that many members to buy all the tickets.

What do you think this is the bridge of the Star Trek Enterprise? What are we all going to do "teleport" our

money to RL, the "lotto butler"? Beam me up Scotty!!!

"I am sorry I can't captain, the dilitium crystals are overheating! The warp core is being

shattered by the delusional wacky ideas and out of phase brain waves of LP member RL!"

Besides if you divide 1.4 billion by the amount of members thats only roughly 8000 bucks.

A lot of trouble for nothing. I would rather have trouble with tribbles.

Fascinating but quite impossible.

Actually no it wouldn't as how would you ever find time to talk to each member and do you realize how long it would take to share 292 million numbers, fill out all the bet slips, and run them through at the store? Also then you would need to check 292 million tickets. Also the one who had the winner you would never hear from again, so what exactly would be the point? Also most on this site would not be able to afford to spend even close to that much and would be pretty stupid to do so. Many on this site are also inactive. So "easy" is definitely not the word. More like close to impossible. The average person spends at most $5-$10 tops, and usually $2-$4. No one is spending $1700 unless they are rich already and even if they are they probably are not spending that much.

you could organise numbers for ea member to play. and jut leave it to luck who wins. and they keep their cash. 1700 is too much for me.max id put in is $20 or 10 tickets. and i wouldnt want 1 2 3 4 5 pb 6 or any such

" Still swinging, still missing "
2014 = -1016; 2015= -1409; 2016 = -1171; 2017 = -1257 ; 2018 = - 1380 = TOT = - 6233

keno historic = -2291 ; 2015= -603; 2016= -424; 2017 =-427; 2018= -223 TOT = -3968

Do you have program and printers to print? Or, do you have another way to validate the combinations?

Guys

I was being sarcastic. I guess if we had a million members it would be even easier, another sarcasm. The logistics

alone would be impossible. Some are going wild buying tickets, I thought this might ring their bell and bring them

back down to earth. Someone will eventually win and I hope it's with a $2.00 QP.

In the past there have been people who took out another mortgage on their home to buy tickets.

Billion plus jackpot is making people crazy, I predict depression will go way up once it's won. Gold

fever at it's best.

Funny thing is that no one bought up the cost error, PB tickets are $2.00 so it would cost $3,400.00 per member.

1.5 billion, 930 million cash, ticket cost equals $584,402,676.00. I forgot taxes, Hummmm, hope no one else hits.

We might not even win our money back.

I hope the food banks are prepping for those who are spending their food budgets on tickets.

This jackpot may come with a curse, while the winner is living it up, some peoples kids are looking

forward to school lunch. Kids, dinner is ready, were having loosing ticket soup again.

I know you are joking, but I know it is possible for such things to happen, but I pray it doesn't.

I don't see a drop in sales for the regular games, p-3, p-4, cash 5 etc.. so the high ticket sales have to be

extra expense. Those who are rich did not get that way by taking such chances so who are the ones buying

all the tickets. According to reports I have read 40% of people in the US are unemployed or under employed.

I planned on buying 2 tickets but may not play at all.

I played the same 5 lines as Saturday's draw. My wife played 2 lines, QP. one of hers starts with 31. If it rolls, I will play the same lines again.

1-69 pick 5 and 1 bogus ball from another set. I don't like the chances, but my mind would be working to win that jp now, if I was in the USA.

With those chances and what I saw in my charts, this may take very long until one or more win. Maybe a big group of players makes a chance.

I am not against playing just want to caution people not to play more than they can afford to loose.

Based on the odds for the game it would take a very big bet to gain any real advantage and by big,

I mean millions.

Buy a couple lines and enjoy the excitement as someone is going to win, if not this time, maybe the next.
