$825 Million: Powerball Jackpot Approaching One BILLION Dollars

[Tanko]

Great pr but wish these lotteries would pay out more on the lower echelon prizes, so more can benefit, rather than one person getting it all, cap it and spread the rest

Agreed. That would be better for the population as a whole.

I agree with this.

I would put it all on 1 bet. I'm a gambler after all.

$1.5B.... We're getting close to the number I need to see to jump in on this. Not quite there, but close.

How high do you want it?

Anyone buying tickets tonight?

 

[Wagerallsports]

Do any sports books still offer to buy state lottery tickets on their sites?

I remember 5dimes used to

Can you imagine being stupid enough to buy state or Powerball tickets on an offshore site when it's super high and if it hits do you really think you're going to get that money

Bought 2. That's it. Just to appease the wife.
She wanted to play. I think its dumb.

Since there's no lottery in Nevada I need to drive to Arizona which is not far from here but the amount of people going there to do the same will probably make the lines crazy long. Maybe I'll go one day next week if it's still alive

I rarely buy lottery tickets so today was interesting.

I go into the corner store and it's the guy behind the counters first day. No wait, he started just 30 minutes prior to me walking in. No s#it. The place is packed with people and he has not idea how to use the lottery machine.

Amazing. Its the $1.5B power ball lottery day and the one thing they forget to teach this brand new guy is how to work the lottery machine. I was thinking, he's going to have a rough day so I was extra polite to him and told him, it'll get better. Just relax and try to have a good day.

I figured offshore sites would have no involvement with the lottery like that. And I would highly doubt that you're getting paid that kind of money

Alright, I might buy a ticket for a chance at $2.5B.
I'm starting to see +EV on this lottery.
