Powerball 1.9 Billion Tomorrow

[DouglasR]

Hey hey hey no employee poaching, he's going to manage my bullying department... someone's got to make sure Shaul is giving his full 110% every day.

Back in the days before participation trophies my tee-ball coach awarded me heckler of the year.
I’m very qualified for this job.

I would send the jet out to be waxed more often.

I'd buy a ranch in WY, full of elk and antelope. Move my family up there and home school the kids - getting them away from all the crap that is "trying" to be taught in schools.

Probably get back into the cattle and horse businesses, open up the ranch to disabled veterans and terminally ill kids (and their families). Sit on my porch, with an ice cold Diet Mt. Dew and watch the sun set over my land.

Preach on brother!


If you win and need someone to open your diet mtn dews and make sure they’re cold, call me. I’d need a guest house and some landowner tags, obviously.

I like your attitude - you're hired!!

You sir, are also hired!!

 

[Stocker]

You sir, are also hired!!

You’re gonna be like the athletes that go broke by having their “crew” around.

 

[Wallydeuce]

Mind if I call you Dad?

[kiwi hunter]

Marco polo at the top of list, but then again life would be too easy

 

[RealMuddyboots]

So I updated title to make sure those who wouldn't at $1B just might at $1.5B. The extra $500M just might be the tipping point.

How much is Powerball?
Is it $2, (+$1 for powerplay) as the Powerball website says:

How​

Powerball® costs $2 per play.
Select five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls; then select one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.
Choose your numbers on a play slip or let the lottery terminal randomly pick your numbers.
The Powerball jackpot grows until it is won.
Players win a prize by matching one of the 9 Ways to Win.

Power Play​

Ask for Power Play® with your Powerball purchase!
For an additional $1 per play, the Power Play feature can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times!
The multiplier number is randomly selected just before each drawing.
The 10X multiplier is only in play when the advertised jackpot annuity is $150 million or less.
The Match 5 prize with Power Play is always $2 million.

Or...
Is it now $3 and Powerball is unable to afford updating it's website? +$1 for powerplay, if you choose?
I'm outside the U.S. currently and my wife is back home in MT, currently. She purchased our tickets yesterday and was charged $3 +$1 for powerplay for each ticket, or so she recalls.

Bah, Never mind. Montana must take their cut as well:

Cost per Play: $3.00

Drawing Days: Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8:59 p.m. Mountain Time. You have until 8:00 p.m. on draw days to purchase your Powerball tickets.
Multiple Draws: You may play the same set of numbers for up to 24 consecutive drawings.

Power Play is included with every Powerball purchase! Power Play doubles the Match 5 prize from $1 million to $2 million and increases other prizes according to the chart below. The Power Play number will be drawn separately, but at the same time as the winning numbers for every draw.​

Overall odds of winning a prize in Powerball: 1:24.9
Overall Odds: 1:24.9

I’ve always wanted to learn to fly a helicopter.

So I’d buy a ranch and fly my helicopter. Maybe more than 1 ranch.

Maybe more than one helicopter.

 

[jryoung]

I'd buy all the sheep tags in Reno, try not to get blisters on my leg from being dry humped by the flat brim society then shoot dink rams.

 

[Nick87]

In all honesty, some people who I've always been able to count on would be getting some of it and st. Judes would be getting a LOT of it.

Can I shoot coyotes out of your helicopter with an M60?

 

[BirdManMike]

If I win this, I am going to buy a Ferrari then put a bunch of bumper stickers on it. 406 Native, Get Lost, Coexist, Let’s go Brandon, Bernie, one of those stick families…you name it, anything I can pick up.

I have 0 desire to own an Italian sportscar - or any fancy vehicle, sports car or otherwise - I just want some ridiculous, sticker-covered piece of metal that costs as much as a house as a flex.

 

[Scott85]

Getting tired of buying tickets at this point.
