I played, the sucker that I am, and got zip. I usually never play the big games, Power ball and Mega, the odds are astronomical. Even playing my states lotto and daily stuff where the odds are much better, I've only had 4 numbers twice in almost 40 years playing them.

Everyone has an equal chance of winning.
I have had 2 instances of lottery wins:
1. My grandma won the jackpot - scaled for inflation, it was probably $1,000,000.
2. My aunt won the little lotto for a jackpot of $200,000, this was weeks before they were filing for bankruptcy.
So yes, I play in hopes I retire and say... SYLMF!!!! (ala Mr Chan from Hangover)Magico M2, JL113v2x2, EMM, ARC Ref 10 Line, ARC Ref 10 Phono, VPIx2, Lyra Etna, Airtight Opus1, Boulder, AQ Wel&Wild, SRA Scuttle Rack, BlueSound+LPS, Thorens 124DD+124SPU, Sennheiser, Metaxas R2R -

True....least until they get the budget mess taken care of, which is probably never. Only in todays world that being fiscally responsible is considered a no-no.

I have never played the powerball before but a couple co-workers were playing so I jumped in for a few bucks. We "won" $4 and now added more and re-invested that for Saturday's drawing.
I knew the odds were crazy but, until I checked out the payouts on the website, I never realized how bad the prizes were, unless you get at least 5 numbers. Really not worth buying.

Exactly why I never play them. Isn't it funny though, every state gambles with their lottery, yet you throw 20 bucks on a football card and your the bad guy.HT SYSTEM-

When I win Saturday night, I'm gonna buy new tires for my truck.

Even some Canucks are getting in on your PowerBall. Your new amount is close to 1B CAD. Oh and we don't pay taxes on our winnings unless won in the US....

I offered a group of about 10 people a "game" where they each give me a dollar, then I randomly pick a winner who gets $8. "Odds are 1 in 10", I said! For some reason everyone understood what a bad game that would be. But when the odds are 1 in 292 million then people don't mind so much.

Odds may be stacked against me, but I have an equal chance of winning as anyone else. The only problem is that there are like 292 million "anyone's"... hahahhaa
Either way, lightning has struck before... it can again.
Case in point - my wife is a pharmacist. Her coworker won. Didn't tell anyone. One day, just moved back to India. Won 8 figures Illinois lottery.

I'm buying an island between Greece and Turkey, that is, hopefully, in dispute, declare Independence and install myself as El Presidente. If you guys are good to me I'll invite you over for the party of the century! It's going to be "HUGE"!!! OH, and I'm going to build a WALL around it and make the Turks, nah, the refugees pay for it (how nasty am "I", downright inhuman, I'd say)! lolCurrently orbiting Bowie's Blackstar.!

My boss bought $40 worth for the entire office. Split equally amongst all of us if we win. She didn't require us to put in any money, her treat.
I would definitely buy an island. People in general are too crazy anymore. Give me my own island to spend most of my time on, visiting the mainland when I feel like it.
