Looking at that list of losers should help many of us with our math skills and cure anyone who is addicted to playing the lottery.

It was fun folks.
I slept with a huge smile on my face too!

The winning numbers drawn early Sunday morning were: 22, 27, 44, 52, 69 and the red Powerball 9.

Welp. Spending a few dollars on Mega Millions and Powerball every week isn't such a horrible idea. Gotta play to win and if you win, you win more than most people will ever make in their careers.

But....scratchies are just bait for morons.

This has to be the most insane idea I've ever seen on NES.

You don't read much of what's on this site, do you?

I wrote "insane", not "dumbest".

It's a LONG TERM investment strategy.

I have two friends who hit scratchers big. One for 100k per year for life.

That's awesome!

I've hit a few $1000 winners over the years. If you can afford to play and don't go overboard then why the hell not. It's all about moderation

This has to be the most insane idea I've ever seen on NES.

You just don't understand how math works.

If you buy 1 ticket, and then you buy a 2nd ticket, you just increased your odds of winning by 100%
So by joining this pool, everyone's odds of winning go up astronomically.

 

[nstassel]

That's awesome!

The other guy was annoyed that I made him come to court to testify and on the way into court he picked up a coffee and a scratcher and won 10k. I'm still waiting on my taste.

I hit for ~$21K at Mohegan 24 years ago. Caribbean Stud Poker Straight Flush, and the Ace was 2 hands away, I was very close to $210K.

I so wish they would bring that game back.

Now tell us how much you lost over the years.

We all want privacy.
Then no one wants privacy.
Which one is it? ... privacy only if you win?

I don't follow this stuff ao not sure how it works, my odds are low enough I never put the energy to figure out what happens with my $2.

I remember when I lived in Argentina they would televise the machine dropping random balls with numbers.

Do they do something similar here or is it all secret and we have to trust them?

Gravity allows the balls to fall down.

How can there be a delay in providing the powerball numbers. Why does this always seem to happen with large billion dollar jackpots.

I think it's not privacy, I think people might be concerned with trust and transparency

This is the 3rd time I heard of a delay, and it's always on the biggest jackpots.
