I have to drive 45 minutes, one way, to the nearest Powerball ticket vendor. Should I?
I'd sure like a billion to spend on CC dollars...Might just have a nice set!
Anyone here have to drive further??

at one in 297 million it probably isn't worth it. More likely that you will have an accident driving there than winning
Speaking of lightning, you'd probably have a better chance of getting hit by lightning while dying of a swarm of killer bees while simultaneously getting eaten by a shark. But, you're telling me there's a chance.......

The only person who has zero chance is the one who doesn't have a ticket. On the other hand, the IRS has a 100% chance and has to buy no tickets.
I would suggest that he's the guaranteed winner of $2.

Keep in mind, I have already bought mine
my name in the hat -so to speak - and someone will win it. Fortunately, I can well afford
$2/$4 dollars now and then. Yes, gold and silver are relatively secure places to put some
money... though rarely as exciting. Cheers, RickO
buying a ticket is like buying a Mental Ticket
to FantasyLand in Disneyland.
It's the price of admission for you to imagine
winning it - which is a bit better than imagining
winning it without buying the ticket !

Yeah...I'm actually a proponent of "just say no". I can say with some certainty that I'm NOT going to win. (Nor are you, or you, or that guy over there.....)
But if someone in the office is running a pool? The heck if I'm going to pass on it, and risk everyone I work with dancing like lunatics around the office while I cry in mine.
If you are just taking a shot with discretionary "entertainment" funds? Seems perfectly harmless. If you are spending your retirement funds, and letting your baby go without food? Very stupid.....
Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody.
AND you will win some real rest.
Don't waste time on any Lottery.

I was in CA last weekend, so figured I would get a ticket before I left town. On the way back to NV on Sunday, all of the gas stations and other lottery retailers in Baker had lines out the door, and in Primm at the lottery store, the line went around the building.(3 hour wait time the news said.)
No way I would have made the trip to stand in a 3 hour line.

I bet the wait times are even longer now at that location since two of the 6 CA tickets from Saturday that had all 5 numbers (but no powerball) were sold near the CA/NV state line. Lots of folks from Nevada seem to be buying! And a couple of them winning
I have my tickets for Wednesday night...

Now, I've decided to make the trek and buy a ticket tomorrow. So, should I be the lucky winner I will give to every one of you that responded to this thread a coin of your choice up to $14,000. Yep, I think I could afford it..will let you know and don't hold your breath.
Did I ever tell everyone how I won the Colorado Lottery in 1990 for 1.1 million? I should tell that story someday....you might be interested in what happened after I won.

Edited just in case....must respond before the drawing tomorrow night. One gift of $14k per formite. I get to do the shopping for your coin (you can help). That is the fun I will get.

This morning I bought $50 in tickets. On the walk to my truck, I counted $30 worth of tickets ! The Pablo's explanation ? Oh heres the other $20 ticket - I left it in the machine - just a mistake.
Uh huh, can't trust anyone for anything these days. Everyone is always trying to run a scam these days.
But the US Mint ripping me for that 2015 BU AGE was the worst rip so far.
