Powerball tonight, Saturday Feb.18th....

[Nole]

Those of you who have access to Powerball, what's the most you're personally playing and/or how much are you and your co-workers pooling together.


Personally I'm just playing $20.00 but our office will have 181 chances. If we hit, we split 23 ways.

Anyone else?

Played $7. In a group of 6, put up $7 and we bought all the powerballs.

I'm a little shocked at how many people "up the amount" that they play, once the lotto hits a "big" number.

I will get a buck or two when I get gas, and that's about it. I hear so many people say, "I got more than I normally do, because it's so high......."

At 143,000,000 to 1 odds, good luck!


By the way, I have one buck on tonights drawing, and if it rolls over again.....I will miss out on the next one, because I won't be getting gas until later in the week.

If someone buys me $20.00 worth I promise i will pay them back if I win.

 

[Blazer]

I got $5 last drawing....will prob get $5 more this one.

I seem to be getting gas everyother day, but i never fill it up just a 20 spot...................how much is the powerball up to? I might have to play, I never play unless its an insane amount and if I do its no more than $5 to $10.....

 

[Gmarco]

In a pool of 35 people...bought $50 on my own.

 

[StevieD]

6 of us put in 4 bucks each and gave to a guy who was going to a neighboring powerball state. So 24 chances! Woo! Woo! Good luck to all madjackers.

I find it hard to believe you haven't heard? It's everywhere! Billboards, TV, radio. I'm proud of you though, you drive with your eyes straight ahead and with the radio off to avoid distractions.

Last I heard it's at 365 million!!!!

I believe that falls under "insane amount".

Go get 'em.

[cisco]

I'm not playing.

People with dreams of winning Saturday's record $365 million Powerball lottery jackpot stood in lengthening lines to buy tickets that flew out of machines at dizzying speeds.

 

[Ronnie]

I personally get $10 worth of tickets every Wednesday and Saturday for the powerball. The most numbers I've matched has been 4.

 

[boilermaker]

I play the same every week. $5 on the Ind Lotto and $5 on the powerball every wed and sat. If it's meant to be , it will happen.

 

[Nole]

The numbers were.....

15 17 43 44 48 and 29(PB)

One of our cards from work was....

15 17 43 45 47 and 38(PB)

That close to $200,000.00

Holy crap!

Thats my problem, I'm playing with my Sirius radio too much, to pay attention to anything else, I pay 75 cents for USA today's sport section(occasionally), everything else goes in the trash and if I'm watching tv its not the news........I' cant believe you were that close........I haven't checked my #'s yet, I bought $10.....if I happen to win, I'll cut you a check for $9,999.......cuz I woulda never known otherwise..........but don't get your hopes up, if i didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all.......

Record $365 Million Powerball Jackpot Won in Nebraska!

The record breaking $365 Million Powerball jackpot was won on a single ticket in Nebraska. The winner will now have to decide between the 29-year, 30-payment annuity and the cash option worth $177.3 million. The winner will have 60 days after their ticket is validated to make that decision.

The numbers drawn Saturday night were 15, 17, 43, 44, 48 and the Powerball was 29. The Power Play multiplier was 4.

In addition to the incredible grand prize that was won, the new Match 5 Bonus Pool reached an estimated $16.5 million. This will give players who matched five white balls an additional cash bonus besides the normal prize of $200,000 plus any Power Play winnings.

The jackpot for the Wednesday, Feb. 22 drawing will be $15 million with a cash option of $7.3 million.

Players should carefully check their tickets after every draw. Even if there are no jackpot winners there are always tens of thousands of winners at other prize levels. There were two players in Missouri who matched all five white-ball numbers. Fourteen Missouri players matched four white-ball numbers plus the Powerball.

Due to a state holiday on Monday, Feb. 20, if you hold one of the winning Match 5 Bonus tickets from this record drawing, please call the Lottery?s headquarters at (573) 526-0852.

Powerball is now played in 28 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

They offer those tickets on some sportsbooks.

Would you actually get paid if you won powerball on some sportsbook? How could it possibly work?
