    I finally bought a ticket with co-workers at work. I've never played. Just did it to be a good co-worker and a team player. I fully expect to lose. Go me. :grin:

    Or your co-workers will want to come up with a pact that the last of you living would get all the money. Like that Simpsons episode with Abe Simpson and the Fighting Hellfish

    If no one wins tonight, a record will be broken; the jackpot will be something like 1 billion dollars.

    Crazy. I honestly hope no one wins haha

    Just went to the Shell nearby and bought 5 tickets for $10 doing my part and hoping.

    I could buy the Rockets?

    BTW: They was quite a big line of about 10-12 people all buying powerball tickets. Crazy

    The final jackpot actually hit $949.8 million.

    If this roll over again, we might be looking at $1.3 billion next drawing.
